CHRONIC ILLNESS
As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way. [Chronic Pain • Shame in Illness]
CAREGIVERS
A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.
MENTAL ILLNESS
Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted. [Anxiety • Depression]

Hold Onto Possibility Everyday • Are you thinking about ending your life? Reach out for support. Are you concerned about a friend or loved one ending their life? Ask. Listen. Love. Pray. [Trauma Soul Care]

Infusions of Hope
(Memories) The Leftovers: What Seems Dead May Be Sleeping
What do we do with grief too deep for words and memories too raw to soothe? Scripture, hymns, and prayer can lead us to the place where grief is an invitation for Christ’s gentle assurance that what feels gone is not dead, but only asleep.
Christ: The Source of the Flowing River of Prayer
Prayer isn’t about forcing our way into God’s presence—it’s stepping into the river already flowing from Christ. When words fail, the Spirit intercedes, and God Himself carries our groans into prayer.
God’s Promised Peace
When anxiety threatened to hold me back, God gently invited me to step out in faith. At a seminar on peace, His Word reminded me that I am not alone, that His promises are true, and that His peace can calm every storm of fear.
