Mark Vroegop defines lament as “a prayer in pain that leads to trust.” No one wants to learn the language of lament, but when sorrows come, lament is the means God has given us to pour out our hearts before him. In this message on Psalm 102, recorded at TGCW26, Vroegop encourages believers to turn to God in suffering by acknowledging the reality of ou...

Bible passages about warfare, women’s roles, and eternal punishment can also raise skepticism about Christianity’s goodness. In this session, recorded at TGCW26, Rachel Gils...

However, the Bible both commends and commands waiting. To wait on the Lord is a hallmark of faithful discipleship. It’s an opportunity to lean on him in the gaps of life and learn how to trust in new and profound ways. In this conversation recor...

Discipleship begins in the home, and one of the best ways to do this is to study the Bible as a family. Creating a regular habit of spending time together in God’s Word invites children to learn through both their parents’ instruction and their personal experience how to read, interpret, and meditate on Scripture. Even imperfect family devotionals can have a profound impact on your children’s live...

In this talk from TGCW24, Collin Hansen and Rebecca McLaughlin expl...
