About this listen
Do you feel like you are barely holding on?
Let the golden thread of God's presence be the calm on the other side of chaos.
It could be that he is weaving a brilliant new beginning in the middle of your mess.
“I know your faith will be lifted and increased with this new treasure.” (Chris Tomlin)
Join beloved worship leader and songwriter of “Shout to the Lord” Darlene Zschech as she traces God’s goodness through her recent transitions.
Perfect for anyone who’s:
- Battling cancer or another health scare
- Moving to a new city
- Starting a church or a new job
- Struggling through a season of doubt or change
Darlene urges us to maintain joy in the middle of it all. Rather than seeing her many life changes as a zigzag of unrelated events, Darlene and her family have learned to trace God’s goodness through every crisis - even as she faced the battle for her life, cancer.
Your heart will be encouraged, and your faith will soar right along with Darlene’s.

There are far too many Christians who are walking around dejected, depressed, hopeless, powerless, and in bondage to the flesh. Yet this is not what the Christian life is or should be. Though we will experience difficulties, in the midst of these things we are not powerless and without hope. The most powerful thing we can do in our lives is pray. Join Pastor Carter in this book as he looks at the lesson Jesus gives us in Mark 9 - along with some of his own personal experiences and testimonies - and how it relates to us, our walk with God, and our impact on the world.

Christmas should be a time of joy and celebration. But in the hurriedness of December, sometimes we find ourselves sacrificing a sacred pace for hustle, leaving us feeling more stressed than blessed. What if you approached this Advent more open to the things of God? What if you decided to be expectant that God would move in your midst? What if you made room for the true joy found in the coming of our king?

Story
How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work.
