As humans, we are prone to insecurities, fear of failure, and regrets which we try to hide and cover up, resulting in isolation from both those around us and God. Through fifty devotionals, counselor Edward T. Welch shows us how God speaks with gentleness, depth, and hope that will lead us out of hiding and to live more openly, authentic, and regret-free. Welch speaks to our struggles with shame, disappointments, and inadequacy with God’s words of love and change. Welch shows us how we were created to be known by God and others, and how hiding undermines these relationships. Each daily devotional focuses on a specific biblical truth that unpacks the reasons underlying our feelings of failure and weakness and then points us in the direction of turning to God for acceptance, identity, and security. Sometimes we hide because of our own failures and weakness, and sometimes we hide becaus...

School, sports, jobs, and relationships all press in at the same time. But the hardest thing can be feeling alone, that you have no one to share your most difficult problems with. In  The Jesus I Wish I Knew in High School , thirty authors from many different backgrounds come together to say, “We get it—and Jesus gets it too. Here’s who Jesus is and how he wants to meet you in this intense time.”  Hear from authors such as Scott Sauls, Sandra McCracken, Michelle Reyes, Jen Pollock Michel, David Zahl, and others as they share firsthand stories of bullying, eating disorders, pregnancy, addiction, racism, family conflict, expectations, and the intense pressure to achieve.

I'm so excited to be able to help launch Erica Vetsch's new series!   Click here to claim your copy of The Debutante's Code ! Sign-ups are now open for  The Debutante's Code  by Erica Vetsch!  This is the first release in the Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries series from Kregel.    The tour dates will be November 16-December 10. Because I'm sending this announcement out earlier than usual, I won't be sending out emails about who made the tour around September 30. I will try to send out the email sooner, if I can.  I do expect a full tour plus some, so there's a chance I may not be able to get everyone on the tour. Two of the screeners that I use that might keep you off the list are: 1) missing links from previous tours and 2) a lack of regular posts (if you haven't posted regularly in months, for example). So, just make sure you're current with turning in your links and in posting on your blog.  When I send out all the details ahead of the t...

Or just wing it? Scott Thomas, former President of Acts 29, church planter, and pastor has a different approach. He unpacks how leaning on Jesus empowers not just your teaching, but also grows the humility and biblical wisdom you need to lead.   Through many years of ministry experience, Thomas has seen the importance of the “soft skills” of leadership—empathy, kindness, and listening—and how not developing those skills negatively impacts churches. Yet simply knowing the need for what the world calls “emotional intelligence,” doesn’t guarantee growth in these areas. But understanding and applying the gospel will bring transformation.   Thomas gives practical, specific help in navigating spiritual and emotional challenges ...
