God will provide rest


Hey Reader,

I want to share a bit of hard truth with you: spiritual growth begins with awareness. There are a lot of people who think that walking with God will automatically make life easier, but Christians are not exempt from life challenges.

But the good news is that peace and joy begin with our heart posture, not our circumstances. So, no matter what we go through, God is faithful to give us rest if we trust in Him.

If you need help learning how to patiently endure under trial, we’re doing a weekly Bible study on First and Second Thessalonians beginning on Tuesday, March 10th, at 7 AM EST. The Apostle Paul has some very specific instructions for the body of Christ on how to stand firm in faith with joy and peace.

Here are all of the challenge details:

  • Teachings are on YouTube each Tuesday at 7 AM EST, March 10th through May 5th
  • The main theme for this challenge is a call to perseverance, holiness, and hope in God
  • The challenge includes live and pre-recorded videos, and live dates will be announced
  • Joining is FREE, and you’ll learn how to find strength and peace through every situation

I’ve also put together an interactive study guide for the challenge that includes daily overviews, reflection prompts, and practical application tools–to bring more clarity to the teachings. Grab the Standing Tall Thessalonians Study Guide now for only $9.99!

Keep in mind that the study guide is not mandatory for joining the challenge. It’s just a resource for those who want to get the most out of their quiet time with the Lord as we go through the scriptures. By the way, don’t forget to forward this email to everyone you know who needs to join this challenge.

With you on your journey,

Hey Reader, Today, I’m sharing the Guided Scripture on the YouVersion Bible App from 2 John 1:6: “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments.
