The Relationship Principles of Jesus

Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives: A Bible Study for the “Advanced Class”

Let’s be honest: many Bible studies recycle the same handful of characters. Abraham. David. Peter. Paul. (As important as they are.) But what if you’re ready for something more? What if you’ve walked through dozens of Bible studies and now you’re hungry for deeper cuts—stories you don’t already know by heart? That’s exactly what Fascinating […]

It takes faith to pray a lament

To pray in pain, even with its messy struggle and tough questions, is an act of faith where we open up our hearts to God. Prayerful lament is better than silence.
