You don’t have to live in this world long before discovering that the pursuit of intimacy with God occurs within the context of adversity. It is a fight. Yet it is a fight in which our King has won the decisive victory! You have been set free…into a raging battle! But there’s good news: Your struggles do not mean you’re doomed, rather they’re actually a sure sign that you are alive. Now you must learn to struggle well, for Jesus did not free you from the fight, he freed you for the fight.

Thriving in your current stage of life is not easy, especially in this modern age. It's never been easier or more convenient for people to connect with one another. Yet more and more people today are describing themselves as lonely. Why is that? If everything in this world is so connected, why are so many of us feeling profoundly disconnected? In this six-session video-based Bible study, pastor and best-selling author Ben Stuart will help you navigate through the four stages of a relational life and show you how to look at the truths and intentions God has established for each.

Ben Stuart felt the dual struggle in his early twenties of purposelessness and powerlessness. He wanted his life to have meaning, and he wanted to overcome his personal struggles, but the self-help books he read only left him feeling defeated and discouraged. In this six-session Bible study, Ben shares how this knowledge led him to develop a practical strategy to battle against the enemy and build the life that God intended him to have. He helps group members to likewise deconstruct their destructive thinking and construct their own lives of purpose.
