  • Why Do I Care? When Others’ Approval Matters too Much (Amy Baker)

    It is difficult and sometimes frightening not to have the good opinion of others. No one likes to face the possibility of rejection, humiliation, or opposition. Yet, making our goal others’ approval confines us to a small world where life consists of pleasing others.

    Experienced counselor Amy Baker shares that rejection by others is not the whole story. There is a bigger story of God’s love for his people. His love endures forever. His love can be relied upon, while people’s opinions shift and change according to whether or not we are pleasing them. But God, in Christ, is totally pleased with us. His opinion of his dearly loved children will not change. When you remember these truths and replace your anxieties about approval with them, you will be free to live and love in God’s world.

  • The Gift of Addiction: How God Redeems Our Pain (Eric Guzman)

    You did it again. You drank. You got high. You slept with him/her. You surfed the Internet. What gift could you possibly find in so much failure? But when your helplessness drives you to turn to God and admit your need, you will experience the greatest gift of all—his presence, his kindness, his forgiveness and his peace.

    Author Erik Guzman explains that when we think it’s up to us to rise above our suffering or sin, we alienate ourselves from our only source of help. But when we come to the end of ourselves, realize that our addictions have controlled us and turn in desperation to God, then we see that coming to the end of what we can do is the beginning of faith. That is the gift of addiction.

  • Faith and Doubt: When Belief Is Hard (Steve Brown)

    You made a commitment to Jesus (or maybe you didn’t), but now you are questioning everything. Is there a God? Are you really forgiven and accepted for Jesus’s sake? It sounds too good to be true. And if the Bible really is true and Jesus really did rise from the dead, how come you don’t feel any different?

    Steve Brown, a preacher, pastor, and radio broadcaster, has experienced all of the same kinds of doubts and questions. He gently uncovers for you some reasons we doubt and how to step into the rest of faith. All Christians experience doubt, admitting your questions and turning to God will renew your hope and faith.
