Life is hard, and sometimes the world's weight is too much to bear. But God is near, offering comfort, strength, and hope through every trial. When Life is Hard is a 7-day Bible reading plan that walks you through real stories from Scripture, showing how God meets His people amid suffering. Each day includes a passage, reflection, and an invitation to prayer, helping you anchor your heart in God’s presence. Take this journey and discover peace, courage, and joy, even in life's most challenging seasons.

When Life Is Hard

Fear wasting your life? Fear your motives are selfish rather than godly? Not sure how to discover your gifts, calling, and mission to maximize your life for Christ? This plan will show you Godly “ambition” is radically different from worldly ambition—and that’s great news. Following Jesus’s model means unlearning what our culture has hammered into us. But the satisfaction of following God is the sweetest kind of success.

Godly Ambition: Maximize Your Gifts for Christ

We all carry burdens—guilt, regret, brokenness. But what if forgiveness could really mend you? Looking at Matthew from The Chosen, this 5 day plan will help you discover how Jesus meets us in our failures, offers us grace, and invites us into a transformed life. Read and embrace the healing power of forgiveness! You can read this plan separately, but it is also part of The Chosen 'Test of Character' journey.

Matthew's Journey: 'Mercy Mends' (Part 2)

God is inviting you to draw closer to Him. In 14 sessions, you'll learn what draws you into His presence, what holds you back—and how His presence transforms your heart.

Come Closer

Join Dr. Ken Boa as he tackles the age-old question of
How can evil and suffering exist alongside an all-good and gracious God?
Based on chapter 5 of God, I Don’t Understand, 50th Anniversary Edition,
this plan explores the mystery of Scripture, which offers the only truly
satisfying explanation and resolution to evil, sin, and suffering in a fallen
world.

If God Is Perfect, Why Is There Evil?

The greatest gift God has given us is Himself—revealed in Jesus Christ. In this 5-day plan, explore God’s relentless pursuit of His people, the priceless gift of the Gospel, and the blessings we receive in Christ. As you reflect, may your heart be stirred to treasure Him above all else and to share His love with the world.

No Better News

Jesus said in John 15, “I am the true vine.” Just as branches cannot survive apart from the vine, we cannot flourish apart from Christ. In this 3-day devotional, we’ll discover what it means to remain in Him, trust the Father’s pruning, and live a life that bears lasting fruit.

Abide

In the trials and troubles of everyday life, it’s easy to focus on all the negative things that are happening and forget how blessed you are. Let this plan return your thoughts to all your benefits as a child of God and the gifts He’s already given you in Christ. Magnify them in your heart and mind. Before you know it, you’ll be full of thankfulness, peace, and strength! 

UNSHAKABLE BLESSINGS: WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE in CHRIST

Life isn’t always fair — but God is. In the book of Nahum, God promises His people that He will deal with evil, bring justice, and restore hope. This 5-day plan will walk you through God’s justice, mercy, and holiness, and show how Jesus makes a way for us to live with peace instead of fear. If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees the wrongs in the world, Nahum is a powerful reminder that He does, and He makes all things right.
