God is always good and His nature is to bring healing into our lives. The disappointment and problems that we are faced with can't influence us more than what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Our response to disappointment looks like us leaning into the Father, inviting Him in the midst of our situation, and being vulnerable enough to open up our heart to the people around us. We need God and each other!

There is power in a church body that approaches anxiety with vulnerability and honesty. God is kindly helping us identify areas in our spirit, soul, and body that may be depleted. He is causing us to thrive in those areas through practical steps, receiving His supernatural peace, and rejoicing in the midst.

Cultivating vulnerability and removing shame as we take a courageous step into wholeness with practical steps to heal anxiety.

There’s a strengthening that happens by the power of the Spirit for Christ to not just be present in our hearts but to take over. To make our hearts look like His. To make our hearts the center of His activity. To make our hearts reflect His nature. So that our love can be genuine.

Christianity is not cold, it's hot! God invites us into an extraordinary life filled with love, power, and adventure! But it's only through our complete surrender to Jesus that we're able to experience the abundant life. Jesus paid a price for us to not only be forgiven of sin but to overcome it! Our YES to Him is the real freedom we are longing for.

Discovering the master key that moves us from having moments of joy into maintaining a lifestyle of joy.

More words from our Arise family on what God is doing in this season.

It's an amazing time of the year filled with family, tradition, love, and the excitement of exchanging gifts. But nothing can compete with the One True Gift, Jesus! He was born so we could be born again. In Him is life and our very purpose for being alive.

Things that we wonder about when we are living in our own version of good that steal our wonder of how good God is: "I didn't know it would be this way", "I didn't know it would be this hard", and "I didn't know it would take this long."
