Does Christmas feel more painful than peaceful this year? 🎄💔 If you are dealing with grief at Christmas or feeling lonely this Christmas, this video is for you. Shawna Marie Bryant explores John 14:27 to help you find peace of mind and heart even when Christmas hurts. If the carols and glittering lights feel like a spotlight on your loneliness or an empty chair at the table, you are not alone. You don’t have to choose between your grief and your faith. ▶️ SUBSCRIBE AND LIKE @BeginAgainGod Today, we are unpacking a specific promise Jesus gave His disciples in John 14:27—a gift of peace that doesn't depend on your circumstances. We often feel pressure to be happy during the holidays, but the very first Christmas wasn't sanitary or perfectly joyful; it was messy, chaotic, and broken. That is exactly where Emmanuel, "God with us," meets you. 🔍 In this video, you will discover: Why it’s okay if you don't feel "merry" right now. How to turn Jesus’ promise into a prayer that changes everything. Why the "messiness" of the Christmas story proves God is close to your pain. A simple way to invite God's light into your darkness. Join me as we learn a Scripture-based prayer that connects your pain to God’s presence. Hope isn't the absence of sorrow; it is the presence of Jesus right in the middle of it. 📖 Scriptures Mentioned: John 14:27 (NLT): "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart..." Romans 12:15: "Mourn with those who mourn." Isaiah 53:3: The Messiah as a "man of sorrows." Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted..." 🙏 A Prayer for Your Heart Today: "Lord, You promised to give us peace of mind and heart. Unlike world peace, Your peace settles over the messiness. Fill me with the peace that only You can give, and keep me from being troubled or afraid. Amen." 👇 Watch Next: How to keep from losing hope. https://youtu.be/krRGy8aStH0?si=ZkuNnsTqkuNxMXYb #WhenChristmasHurts #GriefAtChristmas #BlueChristmas #ChristianEncouragement #BelieveAndSpeak #PeaceOfMind #Emmanuel #GodWithUs

Did you know there's a gritty, powerful promise tucked inside the verses of Isaiah 9? We see these verses on Christmas cards every year. We usually skip from "the people walking in darkness" straight to "unto us a child is born." But in doing so, we often miss the Warrior who stands in the middle—the One who fights for your freedom. ▶️ WATCH AND SHARE In this video, we are digging into the overlooked verses of Isaiah 9:2-7. If you are feeling worn out, defeated, or ready to give up, I have good news: You don't have to wait for heaven to experience peace. Jesus came to shatter the yoke that burdens you right now. ▶️ SUBSCRIBE AND LIKE @BeginAgainGod 🔍 In this message, we cover: The "sandwiched" promise in Isaiah 9 that guarantees freedom. Why Jesus is both the Prince of Peace and a Warrior for your heart. The 3-step path to finding peace in chaos (See, Rejoice, Yield). How to claim victory over oppression today, not just in the future. 📖 Scripture References: Isaiah 9:2-7 Matthew 5:17 John 18:36 📣 Declarations for today: "Jesus came to shatter yokes and lift burdens." "Freedom in Christ is available NOW."

Are you exhausted from trying to be perfect? Here's the liberating truth: God's commands are not burdensome or out of reach (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). The perfection trap is a lie that makes you believe your performance impacts God's love for you. In this 20-minute teaching, I expose three deceptions of perfectionism: the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you striving, the pride hidden in self-reliance, and the false belief that you must earn sanctification even though salvation is a gift. Freedom comes when you shift from performance to relationship. Stop trying to earn what God has already freely given you through grace. Your worth isn't measured by your productivity or perfection - it's secured by Christ's finished work on the cross.

Have you ever felt spiritually distant from God? Like He's far away or silent? I want you to know - you're not alone in this feeling, and more importantly, your feelings don't reflect God's reality.

In this teaching, I walk through 6 actionable steps that will help you reconnect with God and experience His nearness again:

1. Anchor your day in Scripture
2. Pray Scripture-based prayers
3. Worship God today
4. Attend church gatherings
5. Serve someone in need
6. Journal about God's faithfulness

Grounded in Deuteronomy 31:8 and Psalm 145:18, this message is for anyone who feels spiritually stuck or disconnected. God promises He will never leave you or forsake you, and He is near to all who call on Him.

Reconnecting requires intentional action through Bible reading, prayer, worship, community, service, and reflection. My heart's desire is to encourage you if you're ready to give up - God knows exactly what you're going through and what you need.

Join Shawna Marie Bryant as she opens the Bible with you to Deuteronomy 31:8, and discover the truth in this declaration: God is never not near me.

Shawna shares 6 simple steps to draw close to God and be assured of His presence.

Ever wrestled with the heavy feeling that you've drifted too far from God and there's just no way back? Shawna Marie Bryant is here to tell you that feeling is a lie. If you think you're unforgivable, that your mistakes have built a wall too high to climb, then you don't have to let that lie hold you captive any longer.

In this video, I'm here to encourage you with Bible promises from Romans 8:38-39 that reveal how very special you are to God. We are going to embrace the truth of God's relentless love that has been pursuing you all along. No matter what you've done or how far you feel you've wandered, Jesus Christ is still reaching for you.

I long for you to believe and speak this truth: God loves me enough to pursue me.

If you're tired of that nagging voice in the back of your mind, the one that replays your worst moments on a loop, then this message is for you. Let's dive into Romans 8:38-39 and discover what the Bible says about God's unfailing love and His desire to bring you close again.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39
