Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy: Making Room for Your Soul in an Overcrowded Life

Are you working harder than ever but feel like you're accomplishing less? Does your morning routine make chickens running around headless look sane? Is your deepest sense of calm found in the bathroom with the door locked? Do you check social media more than five times per day? Per hour? Author, speaker, and actor Nicole Johnson knows what it's like to feel as if you're drowning in crazy. When she couldn't catch her breath or stay awake long enough to talk with her husband, let alone God, she sought to find new ways of "being" in her life. Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy is a voice of possibility and peace for women seeking to find a calm spiritual center in a crazy, runaway world. As a wife and mom of young children herself, Nicole recognized that life had become out of control. And, with the help of a crisis, she started her journey to create the very calm she was craving. Nicole's voice is authentic, humorous, and practical, and at the same time deeply spiritual and real. She brings rich storytelling together with her desire to find calm, and in the process discovers a deeper faith. Her personal story grounds the book as she abandons mere tips and tricks (and the empty promises of time saving apps), to explore new practices - like creating a room of her own, setting technology boundaries, rediscovering the spiritual disciplines of quiet and still (they're not bad words) - and then extending those practices to provide a safer, stronger refuge for calm to dwell. Nicole's journey is shared with relatable stories, insightful help, and practical ideas that explore the inner life of a recovering crazy busy woman finding her way to calm and a deeper relationship with God.

Naomi: Audio Bible Studies: When I Feel Worthless, God Says I’m Enough

The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me? Naomi's story, found in the book of Ruth, is a story of lost identity. She lost her husband and her sons, which in her culture left her completely without a home or a means to support herself. She was a Hebrew woman in Moabite territory, alone among strangers. She reacted by letting her circumstances define her. But even in her angry, fearful, rather dramatic season of feeling like the victim, God kept showing his faithfulness. This Bible study will take you through Naomi's journey from comfort and security to despair and bitterness; from hopeless drifting to faithful obedience; and from loss to redemption in one short lifetime. We'll learn that when we go through trauma, loss, and hardship, it's normal to feel Just. So. Done. Yet God remains close. He is not done. He can and will redeem even in our darkest circumstances. Sessions include: - When Hard Times Hit (26:00) - Behind the Scenes (17:00) - Better than Being Fixed (17:00) - From Bitter to Blessed (19:00) Coordinating study guide available separately.

Rahab: Audio Bible Studies: Don’t Judge Me, God Says I’m Qualified

The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me? Rahab's story, found in the book of Joshua, is a story of a girl boss, an assertive, confident woman who did what she had to do to provide for her family. Her identity was shaped by her upbringing. With no Bible study to join or podcast to download, Rahab learned her beliefs and behaviors in a culture that believed in gods, not God. But when opportunity knocked, she boldly trusted in the God she had never known, and became something she never imagined-a woman who brought freedom to generations. This Bible study will take you through Rahab's story as she trusted God's final word about her worth above society's. You will learn how to shed unhelpful labels and fears, and instead revel in God's unconditional love and acceptance of you-just as you are. You can be free from shame and doubt. Sessions include: - Your Past Has a Purpose (23:00) - Liking Your Reflection (17:30) - What's in a Reputation (19:00) - You Have a Choice (19:00) Coordinating study guide available separately.

Hagar: Audio Bible Studies: In the Face of Rejection, God Says I'm Significant

The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me? Hagar's story, found in Genesis 16, is a story of cultural victimization. She was betrayed, abandoned, and scorned. Her response? She did what most of us would do when deeply hurt by someone we trust-she ran away. She got defensive. She retreated to a place where she felt safe. She felt justified in her anger and hurt. But deep in her core was a woman who longed to be seen and hoped for redemption. This Bible study will take you through Hagar's story as she learns from hurt and heartache that what is unresolved is not unseen by God. The lack of finality in Hagar's story teaches us to trust God with the ending-believing he sees us and he knows. Sessions include: - Exposing the Lie of Shame (20:00) - Rejected to Accepted (20:00) - Trusting after Betrayal (17:30) - Transformed and Seen (28:00)
