Feel like life isn't going well?

The world we live in places a huge emphasis on being happy. And yet…now more than ever, anxiety and burnout seem like the norm. It can be easy for our daily struggles to convince us that we need to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. But God offers something better, more joyful, and stabilizing than circumstance-defined happiness: an identity in Christ as the foundation of our lives.

 

Our parent organization, Our Daily Bread Ministries, published this short resource by Dr. Evan Parks, a psychologist and former missionary. Whether you’re struggling with mental health, wanting a more joyful life, or just trying to follow Jesus more closely, we think it will be helpful.
