Suffering

Have you ever wondered: Why does God allow me to experience suffering and trials? Where is God when we do experience suffering or trials? This plan tackles these issues head on and challenges us to have a perspective that sees God using these moments to strengthen and change us.


Real Hope: Suffering & Trials

Have you ever thought, “This wasn’t supposed to happen to me”? Maybe a scary diagnosis, the loss of a relationship, or a shocking global pandemic left you feeling overwhelmed and alone. You may have noticed adversity feels a lot like grief, and grief can feel like more than we can handle. My hope is this reading plan will encourage you today and in the days ahead.

More Than You Can Handle

One way to view life’s most painful journeys is through the prism of grieve, breathe, receive (GBR). When Friday’s sudden darkness (grief) leads to Saturday’s confusion and questions (breathe), we eagerly await Sunday’s resurrected peace and possibility (receive). Along the way, we can embrace the process or resist it. I pray that in these devotionals, you will glimpse the power of grace, mercy, love, and hope for your own journey.

Discovering Hope With James W. Goll

The testimony of Zechariah is usually visited around Christmas as the prelude to the birth of Jesus. We tend to skip over this to get to the "good part!" We can learn a lot about Zechariah’s faith, and lack thereof, through the circumstances that developed in His life. God used Zechariah, even in his doubt!

When Life Hurts

"At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him...” Oswald Chambers

The Dark Night of the Soul

We are not exempted from pain, sorrow,  and difficult times. Follow the example of Jesus and David, they too journeyed through difficult times, pouring out their laments to God.  Lamentations are more than tears. They are prayers birthed out of the pain and sorrows of life. This 5-day plan will help you to navigate the hard places, as you learn to pour out your laments and lift up a hallelujah.
