The Bible Recap
Have you ever closed your Bible and thought, “What did I just read?” Or maybe you've tried to read through the Bible in a year, but quit when it felt confusing or impersonal?

Book Recommendation:
Gentle & Lowly
Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him.
While we recommend this book for this series, we acknowledge that we do not agree with all beliefs of the author.
Pursuing Life Podcast
Throughout our Conversations with God podcast series, we'll be hearing stories about the various ways that prayer has impacted people in their pursuit of life in Christ. Prayer looks different for all of us because life in Christ involves relationship with Christ and every relationship is unique. As you listen to these episodes, we hope that you're both encouraged by the stories that you hear and also inspired as you consider your own prayer relationship with Jesus.
