Resources that changed my life
When I began my own spiritual journey, I searched relentlessly for resources that would help me connect the dots between where I was and where I wanted to be.
Believing in God and inviting Him into your daily life is the first step, but God also wants us to apply what we learn. James 1:22 says we are called to be “doers” of the Word, and we can only take action and live out our faith if we know what the Bible actually says! The Bible has to come first.
When we are challenged in a particular area of our lives, it can be helpful to seek wisdom from other godly people have gone before us. The below resources are a small selection of those “extras” that helped bring my faith to life - in addition to the Bible. I was encouraged along the way by so many women and men who were brave enough to share their own stories and experiences… so that you and I can soak up all this knowledge, apply it, and experience real and lasting transformation.
If any of these materials have impacted your own life, drop me a line and let’s compare notes!
