All of us have seasons in our life where we’re lost, God’s voice is hard to discern, and we don’t know the way forward. How do you lead yourself and others when you don’t know which way to go? Based on her newest study, With Us in the Wilderness, Lauren Chandler is going to remind us that there is a lot to learn about God’s character, presence, and faithfulness in the midst of the unknown. We may not see the next steps forward, but He does, and His presence will change everything.

Pressure, productivity, and hustle are values our culture thrives on, but they often leave us feeling like we can’t ever win. Ruth Chou Simons knows something of feeling measured by achievement, performance, and the approval of others, but has discovered the one thing that changes everything: the gift of grace from a merciful God. Based on her new book, When Strivings Cease, Ruth will help you see the beautiful truth that God’s favor is the only currency we need.
