I wish I could hug each and every one of your necks.

Please know that though our Stress Point online summer study is “officially” over, it is NOT OVER. Take your time and work through the chapters. Take your time to really sit and have some meaningful conversations with Jesus and then come back here to LIVE IT OUT! and let me know how He is speaking to you. You have no idea how much it THRILLS me to see that you are living out the Kingship of Christ in all your stress points.

REMEMBER: The archives of the Stress Point Online Study will be in the pink navigation bar above under Stress Point. YOu can always click there to catch up on chapters, etc.

I want to encourage you to not skip the last conclusion chapter of Stress Point. I wrote it to give you a way to reflect and recount ways that God spoke to you through this book. It can even be a place to check back in later one when you need a reminder of how Jesus is your King of Kings and Lord of Lords with your money, your career, your love life, etc. So…pinky swear to me that you will do the conclusion…ok??

Next week I am taking a bit of a blogging break BUT I will be posting articles I’ve written for other websites through out the summer. I think you will like these other ministries and websites!

OHHHH! And some fun news…my new friend Jennifer Roth is starting up an online study of Stress Point soon. It will be fun to get her perspective on the Stress Point topics and I will be chiming in ever now and then with some new video blogs! She’s also doing a giveaway of Stress Point.  Check it out HERE.

Have a great Friday!

HUGS!

Well…the final Stress Point Girlfriend interview. I really loved this chapter because we finish off with the one thing that ties it all together–growing in our faith. I will post later this week with some thoughts about the conclusion chapter.

Meet my seriously sweet friend Wendy Blight. Wendy is one cool chick that knows a TON about the Bible. She is a Bible teacher, a mentor of mine and the girl can really pull off wearing awesome cowboy boots. (I’m secretly coveting her boots!) Check out what Wendy has to say…

Wendy, this week we are discussing how God uses our 20s to grow and stretch our faith. What was your faith like in your 20s?

Sarah, my faith was in crisis in my twenties. Just days after my college graduation at age 21, I entered my apartment to find an armed masked man waiting for me. He spent the afternoon sexually assaulting me. My faith went into a tailspin. I grew up Catholic and attended mass regularly with my family. I believed in God, but because of what happened to me, I questioned everything I had ever learned about Him. You see, I could not wrap my mind around how a good God, like the one I grew up believing in, could have watched from His throne in heaven and allowed what that man did to me. So I spent my twenties living in a prison of fear, angry at God, and searching for answers.

How have you grown in your faith since then? [Read more...]

Wanted to take just a few minutes to pick your brain. As we are wrapping up the Stress Point Online study, I want to continue the conversation and write/talk about what matters to YOU. What are some topics that were in Stress Point that you want to talk about in more depth? What are burning issues or questions in your life that you’d like to flesh out?

Hugs to you all!

Here’s a great video to check out!
