The Struggle Is Real: Getting Better at Life, Stronger in Faith, and Free from the Stuff Keeping You Stuck

It just shouldn't be this hard!Raise your hand if you've ever had a day where everything that could go wrong does go wrong - you lock your keys in the car while it's running, lose control with your kids, make a mistake at the office that results in hours more work.

And just when you think not one more thing could possibly happen ...

well, fill in the blank.The struggle is real, friends.

It may not be major stuff.

Lives are not on the line here.

But it makes us feel awful...

and then we feel guilty for stressing when other people have "real" problems that are so much more serious.Yet the fact remains: we live in a world that often feels harder than we think it should be.

And so it can be easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves - that we're doing it wrong, that we'll be stuck in this place forever, that God doesn't love us.
