Living God's Word—February, 2012 Finding a Better Life
Even though I was in my late 20s, I thought I knew a lot about God and the Bible. After all, I was a preacher's kid and knew all about the life-crushing experiences of men like Joseph and David. I knew how God turned their lives around—eventually. What I didn't know was tragedy on a personal level. I didn't know what it feels like to be alone—really alone. I pray you never have to experience it. But if you do, some of the lessons I've learned can help.
Thirty four of Walk Thru the Bible's South Asian trainers kicked off 2012 in Khandala, India where they spent a week with Phil exploring the life of David. These trainers from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal came to the conference to learn our newest resource, Crucible: Defining Moments from the Life of David. Ever feel like your faith is being tested? Whether you have been there in the past or are there now, we know how it feels to struggle to keep your faith strong and your passion for God's Word alive. But like David wrote in the article above, it is possible. It isn't easy, but it is possible. Join Dr. Bruce Wilkinson as he teaches the biblical truths about what happens when God sends a test of faith into your life, and how to stand firm and allow God to bless you through these tests when they come. |

Although I used to work at a ministry called Winning With Encouragement, I haven't always felt encouraged myself. It has been over two decades since I faced the greatest discouragement of my life. What remained was a completely broken man. Dreams shattered. Any thoughts of a fulfilling existence vaporized in a moment. My life was messed up along the lines of a Lifetime movie-of-the-week (uh, not that I ever watch that channel).
