When The Season You're In Sucks w/ Ruth Chou Simons

When it comes to reading the Bible, sometimes it can be a bit discouraging when we don't know where to start, what to read, and how to interpret what the Scriptures are saying. Biblical literacy is especially needed today with the rise of false teaching! My friend Mikella joins me to discuss some best practices for our quiet time, as well as her new book, Chasing Sacred!ORDER MY BOOK HERE: www.kirby-kelly.com/you-can-be-freeGET MIKELLA'S BOOK HERE: https://a.co/d/e9vUoj4

So many of us are trying to do it all, be it all, and take the whole world on our shoulders, only to crumble and fall when it gets too much to bear. In that downward spiral, we then believe lies and only "try harder" to "be more"... does this sound familiar and like your story? Alyssa Bethke joins me today to unpack the lies we believe and the pressure we often put on ourselves.ORDER MY BOOK HERE: www.kirby-kelly.com/you-can-be-free

What do we do when we get to the end of a season and are met with a closed door? What do we do when we are right in the middle of a decision or journey and God interrupts our plans? What do we do when we were promised a specific position or calling from God, but the door is declaring "not yet"? We can have hope, peace, and assurance in God's will even with closed doors!
