Living with chronic illness

CHRONIC ILLNESS

As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way.

RESOURCES

Caregivers Walk Their Unique Path through Illness and Pain.

CAREGIVERS

A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.

RESOURCES

MENTAL ILLNESS

Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted.

Marriage with chronic illness

MARRIAGE

Navigating marriage with chronic illness can be dark and lonely. It can also be an opportunity to learn patience, forgiveness, tenderness, humility, and sacrifice—gifts to savor and celebrate.

RESOURCES

Is chronic illness a member of your family?

FAMILY

When chronic illness is a member of your family, the keys to hope are prayerhumor; flexibility; acknowledging loss, fear, and other emotions; embracing each member’s God-given worth; and loving one another deeply from the heart.

RESOURCES

Servant-Hearted Leadership

LEADERS

What does it mean to listen, lead, and love like Jesus? • Since each of us is a unique member of the body of Christ with different life experiences, to lead well requires constant dependence on the Spirit to grow us as servant-hearted leaders.

Q

From the Blog

“God has reached out to me through this time of pain, immobility, and dependence ... My current bout of illness has provided (rather, forced) the opportunity to step off the busy merry-go-round ... and be still: to sit in silence, listen to what is on my mind, and let God do some healing in me.” Sarah Smith
My True Healing

My True Healing

I am so thankful that through this time of pain and uncertainty, God has moved in my life, healing my soul so I can experience joy even though my physical circumstances have not changed.
