Overcoming Hard Times

Worry has a way of settling into your life and refusing to leave. You may still show up for work, care for the people you love, and keep life moving forward. But beneath it all, fear keeps whispering that something is wrong . . . and it’s up to you to fix it. Winning the Worry War speaks to anyone who’s tried to manage their worry and realized it doesn’t work. Instead of offering quick fixes or spiritual platitudes, author Christopher Becker gently reframes what worry really is and where real strength comes from. Through Scripture and clear, practical insight, you’ll discover that ...

When Life Collapses, What Remains? Loss. Failure. Shame. Anger that won’t quiet. Faith that feels hollow. Suffering can either harden us—or transform us. The difference is what we do next. In Suffering Leads to Hope, James Velissaris writes with hard-earned clarity about what happens when everything familiar is stripped away—reputation, comfort, certainty, control. Raised by a single mother. Educated at Harvard and Columbia. Seventeen years on Wall Street. Chief Investment Officer. Then prison. Divorce. Death. Despair. When identity collapses—when titles fade and reputation ...

Who Was Boethius? Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (born about 480 A.D.) was one of the most brilliant minds of the late Roman world. He came from an incredibly powerful and respected family and rose to the highest levels of government, serving as a top official under the King of the Ostrogoths. He was a man of vast learning whose life goal was to translate all the works of Plato and Aristotle into Latin to preserve Greek wisdom for future generations. However, his life took a tragic turn. Despite his honorable service, he was falsely accused of treason. Stripped of his riches, his jobs, ...

The Devil Knows the Bible Too is a battle manual for the mind, heart, and soul — equipping you to recognize when Scripture is being used as a weapon instead of a lifeline. From Eden’s whispered “Did God really say…?” to the wilderness temptation of Jesus, Dr. Justin Goldston traces the enemy’s oldest and most effective strategy: distorting God’s Word just enough to twist its meaning, reshape its tone, and redirect its purpose. Through vivid biblical analysis, personal loss, and unflinching testimony, he exposes how the serpent’s voice still echoes through pulpits, podcasts, ...

When the world feels fragile, what will hold you steady? We live in an age of rapid progress and endless choice, yet beneath the surface lies deep unease. Technology advances, comforts multiply, but anxiety, doubt, and restlessness are everywhere. Appearances may look strong, but the foundations often prove weak when tested.

Jacobs delivers a timely call to rediscover faith, not as sentiment or ritual, but as the one anchor that ...

Before the giant arrived, God was already preparing the stone. For generations, the story of David and Goliath has been celebrated as a story of courage. But beneath the familiar battle lies a deeper truth: long before David faced the giant, God was already preparing everything he would need for victory. While David tended sheep, God was shaping a shepherd. While water flowed through a quiet brook, God was shaping a stone. Before the battle appeared, the provision was already in motion. In One Smooth Stone, Christian A. Dickinson invites readers to walk through the story of David and ...

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. One moment everything feels good—your family is alright, your money is straight, your health is solid. Then out of nowhere, life hits you hard. Maybe you lost a job. Maybe someone you love passed away. Maybe your body is battling something you never saw coming. And in the middle of it all, you find yourself asking, “Why me, God? I didn’t do anything to deserve this.” But what if I told you… this is only a test? It’s not punishment. It’s not proof that God has forgotten you. It’s a test of your faith, your strength, and your trust ...

There was a time in human history when day to day life required difficult and challenging activities in order to meet basic human needs. Things had to be done out of necessity and survival due to limited tools and more safety nets. As I write this piece, people don’t necessarily have those challenging life circumstances to motivate them to be proactive and be better in character. Technological advances have made life easier as it relates to education, work life, travel, access to food, and communication (especially over long distances) to name a few. In many ways, our dependence on these ...

You’ve tried to trust God as Father… but something still feels off. You’ve read the books. You’ve prayed. You’ve shown up to church, small groups, and studies.

If the word “Father” still carries tension instead of peace, you’re not alone. And you’re not beyond healing. This isn’t another book to read once and set aside. Building the Bridge Your Father Never Built is a coaching resource—a step-by-step guide to help you actually build the ...

Fear is often the symptom. Forgetting is the disease. Most believers do not struggle because God has been unfaithful. They struggle because they have forgotten how faithful He has been. In Wired to Forget God, Christian A. Dickinson explores a surprising pattern that appears throughout Scripture and throughout our own lives. Israel forgot. Peter forgot. The disciples forgot. Again and again, people with overwhelming evidence of God's faithfulness found themselves overwhelmed by fear when a new crisis appeared. Drawing from biblical stories, modern neuroscience, and his family's journey ...

There is great satisfaction when we see purpose in our circumstances. It is easy to find our purpose when things are going well and life is skipping along nicely, but what happens when we have a tough situation to go through? Is there purpose in the hard times?

All of your circumstances have a purpose. In Mastering Your Seasons, author Lisa Schwarz guides you through the seasons of life and uses biblical ...
