Fearless Stride Faithfully Resilient In Christ

What if instead of being 'fine, ' I could be fearless? Fearless in my love for Christ. Fearless in my pursuit of His will for my life. Fearless in my willingness to sacrifice self for others. Being fearless alone can be reckless, but being fearless in Christ, I learned, can be transformative. Designed as a twelve-week devotional series, Fearless Stride is rooted in understanding Christ and answering the question of what it means to take "fearless strides" and live authentically for Him. To develop this sense of fearlessness, we first need to practice resilience. As the events and hardships of life shape us, we are forced to re-evaluate our purpose. We can either let life sink us, or we can find a new way to float, coupled with an eagerness to swim forward. Resilience is a much about our outlook as it is about the circumstances in our lives that shape our beliefs and perspectives. This book is not merely another training plan for practicing faith, it is a life plan to take one fearless stride after another to become the person God intended you to be. The physical, emotional, and spiritual components of living in Christ are discussed alongside concrete examples and ideas for tangible output in the faith life of a believer. Through devotions such as "Grace & Grit," "Hustle & Hardship," "Challenge & Courage," and "Attitude & Adversity," Fearless Stride will guide readers to conquer fear and allow hope to manifest itself into progressive action designed to serve the Kingdom of God.

Are you tired of living in a constant place of fear? Tired of the havoc it reaps over your life? For so long, I allowed fear to paralyze me and keep me thinking this was the only way to live. I've learned the only way to conquer fear is to bring it face to face with my faith. I learned to see my challenges as an asset instead of a torture seeking enemy.In this 31-Day Devotional, you will use God's Word as your ultimate faith builder. Each daily faith challenge will guide and equip you for seasons when our faith is put to the test. When we begin to see that the Lord doesn't leave us to face our trials alone, we will see that there is nothing in life we need to fear. We were not designed to live cowardly lives. We were meant to live lives that are rich and full of every blessing the Lord desires to bestow upon on us. We can only live that kind of life when we get to the place where we are ready to move from being fearlessly faithless to faithfully fearless.

Living in the kingdom of God is a way of life foreign to living in the world. No longer guided by our perspective, by faith we learn to live according to His. With the renewal of our minds, guided by the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to fulfill His plan for our lives as we learn to walk in His stride. Only in this way are we able to achieve His objectives on the earth.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
