In part one of this two-part series, guest host Debbie Stiegler walks us through finding purpose and hope in the face of hardship. Debbie is the executive director of ministry at Abundant Life and the author of Beyond Survival: How to Find Hope, Healing, and Happiness After Any Setback Because Surviving Isn’t Enough.

Debbie never saw herself as an author, but as she faced several difficult circumstances over the years, she began to take notes on the lessons the Lord taught her. She believed that there had to be a purpose for her pain. In a season when she felt buried, she realized that God was planting her and growing her into what He needed her to be.

To survive a difficult incident, sometimes we must unbecome who we are so we can become who God ultimately wants us to be. After surviving this tragedy, we might feel stuck. Gracefully moving past who were is the mark of a mature person whose heart is longer broken into pieces. Through God, we can move from survival mode into overcoming mode.

Beyond Survival releases on August 28th. To learn more about Debbie or her upcoming books, check out her website below.
