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.

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

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.

Comfort for Hurting Moms

Comfort for Hurting Moms

Our God sees, hears, and keeps his promises. He is the great “I am”—our self-existent, unchanging, creating, and sustaining Lord. And he is gloriously good—full of mercy, grace, love, faithfulness, and forgiveness. God’s character, including these and many more attributes described in his word, offers great comfort to hurting moms. How can this be?
