Story
Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Amanda Pittman explains how we can rewrite our damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing clarity, connection, competency, and conviction.

While Scripture is full of wisdom and advice, it isn’t always easy to know how the Bible’s words—written thousands of years ago—should apply to our lives now. As a result, many Christians wrestle with questions like these: Where is God leading me personally? How do I live out my faith when others disagree? How can I share the gospel … without being weird or pushy? How do I keep going when life gets hard? With just the right mix of Scripture, personal stories, real-life examples, and practical, encouraging advice, Follow God’s Will gives us guidance.

Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.

Do you beat yourself up when what you feel doesn’t align with the person you think you should be? You “should” be a good friend, but you feel hurt by past betrayals. You “should” be content, but you feel lonely or unfulfilled. You “should” have faith, but you feel discouraged by unanswered prayers. Instead of working through these inner tensions, you guilt-trip or gaslight yourself, which just leaves you feeling stuck, defeated, and trapped by conflicting feelings. But there is another path.

For Christians, particularly those in vocational ministry, the stigma surrounding mental illness and mental health often creates an atmosphere of secrecy where the enemy's lies reign. Julie Busler understands the pain of mental illness and has learned that trials not only humanize us but increase our capacity to be used by God. In Joyful Sorrow, she invites us into her own journey where a mental breakdown took her from being a missionary to a suicidal patient.

Such a beautiful reminder
We live in a broken world. But God hasn’t given up on us. In this world we will have trouble, but Jesus has over come. Our pain has purpose. Im so grateful for Nicoles story. Her circumstances in her short life have been so difficult, but she is shining her light and giving God the glory. God hasn’t wasted her pain, and He wont waste ours either, if we give Him the broken pieces. Im ready to hand mine over, now. Thank you for this beautiful reminder Nicole.
