“I Know I Shouldn’t Struggle with Doubt, But…” with Courtney Reissig
Q: What does being honest with God about your doubt really sound like? Can you put words to that for listeners?
Honest prayer uses scripture as language for feelings, especially the Psalms, and acknowledges that God already knows our struggle; we are invited to bring our fears before Him in prayer and community, without fear of disqualification.
Beyond Self-Effort: Ministry, Anxiety, & Finding True Dependence on God with Blair Linne
Q: What would you encourage a ministry wife who is resonating with what you're saying about anxiety?

How to Walk in the Way of Wisdom with Jen Wilkin
Q: What does a prayer sound like when we're asking for wisdom?
A prayer for wisdom is rooted in becoming a person, asking God for insight about the people involved and discernment rather than just clarity about the outcome.
God is More Than Enough for Our Steadfastness with Kristi Billingsley
Q: How do you experience sharing in the sufferings of Christ?
