You live in a world that will stop at nothing to tell you who you are. The world says you are your worst mistakes. Or your greatest achievements. You are what people see on social.

Discovering the answer—and the unwavering strength it unleashes in your life—is what this book is all about. Pastor Matt Ewart shows you that your identity doesn’t come from what you’ve done or what’s been done to you but from who ...

And you probably know how quickly conversations about such topics can spiral into heated arguments. That’s why it’s so important to provide reasoned answers to the tough questions the world is asking—so you can speak more knowledgeably, lovingly, and persuasively about what you ...

There’s a lot of talk these days about self-care. We’re encouraged to get outside, take time for ourselves, or listen to a podcast—whatever we need to care for our minds and bodies.

There’s nothing that comes even remotely close to the care of our souls. Our physical bodies die, and all our efforts at taking care of them expire. But our souls live on for eternity. Soul Care: Nurturing Your Spiritual Wellness, ...
