Unglued

What do we often do with our raw emotions? We stuff, we explode, or react somewhere in between. Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us? Lysa TerKeurst’s answer is yes, and in her usual inspiring and practical way, Lysa shows you how. Filled with gut-honest examples and Biblical teaching,  Unglued  will equip you to know with confidence how to: 1) resolve conflict and find peace in your important relationships; 2) learn to be honest but kind when offended; 3) identify what type of reactor you are and how to significantly improve your communication; 4) respond with no regrets by managing your tendencies to stuff, explode or react somewhere in between, and much more. We hope you enjoy this first session of  Unglued . Our goal in this study isn’t to be perfect. Our goal is to make imperfect progress. —  Lysa TerKeurst Watch the Video May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in y...

Pharaoh and his army usually show up if we get serious about winning people to God’s cause. The Bible tells us not to be ignorant of the Devil’s devices  (2 Corinth...

Seven Virtues of Manhood 7

“Moral Courage” Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong . 1 Corinthians 16:13 I love how God repeatedly told Joshua to be strong and courageous when he was about to lead the Hebrew nation in their conquest of Canaan (Joshua 1:6-7, 9). But the truth is, he tells all of us to be strong and have the courage to do what is right. Let’s quickly review. The six virtues of manhood we’ve looked at in these devotions so far have been tough love (sacrificing yourself for others), childlike wonder (never losing your desire to learn about God’s world), will power (that sanctified stubborn streak), raw passion (an infectious enthusiasm), true grit (the combination of passion and perseverance), and clear vision (knowing what you’re fighting for). None of these are good enough without the final virtue: moral courage. “Courage is not simply one of the virtues,” writes C. S. Lewis, “but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” Where does moral courage come from? ...
