Did you know that only one-third of those who struggle with mental health are getting support from a licensed professional?
When you walk through a difficult season or support a loved one through theirs, it can be challenging to admit you don’t feel equipped to handle it.
But the truth is trying to fix it is actually not what people need the most.
In this new conversation with professional counselor and crisis chaplain Jennifer Ellers, we learn that showing up for the people we care about doesn’t mean we have to have all the answers — we just need to listen with care and compassion.

One of the most challenging parts of trusting God is when He allows something to be a part of our stories that we don't understand or don't want to be true. Thankfully, in these moments, we can trace God's faithfulness to us in the past. We can surround ourselves with good Christian friends who will help us believe in the goodness of God. We can lean on the Holy Spirit to give us discernment for moving forward.
Join Lysa TerKeurst and Kendra LeGrand as they discuss the reality that yes, sometimes our lives will take different turns from what we would have expected, but that doesn't mean different has to be bad.

You can do all things for Jesus and in His name. But without closeness to the One who empowers you to do great things, are you missing out on truly knowing Him?
If you're feeling worn down by the weight of your assignment, maybe it's because it was never meant to be something you carried in the first place. But how do you know? It comes through intimacy with our Savior. Join our friend Gloria Umanah on today's episode to hear a teaching rooted in the truth that apart from Jesus, we really can't do anything.

Does life sometimes feel so ... ordinary?
When our to-dos consume us and we find ourselves in a never-ending cycle of cleaning, caring for our people, and probably not taking enough care of ourselves, we wonder, Is there more? We look at women in the Bible like Mary, Ruth and Hagar, and it's easy to see the significance of their lives and feel like we're missing out. But in today's episode, Dr. Naomi Cramer Overton, CEO of Stonecroft Ministries and Managing Editor of the Every Woman's Bible, shares that these women probably felt a lot like we do today: insecure, isolated, doubtful and insignificant. You'll hear practical ways you can be reassured of your purpose by believing what God says and getting plugged in to community.
Wherever you are today, live your "ordinary" for the people around you, all for the glory of God.
