journeys and paths

Where are you right now?

A journey is a season of life. Inside each one are paths, the specific roads people walk, and every path has a guide from the Bible who walked it. Not sure which is yours? The quiz will find it.

Patience or Endurance

Wait. Just wait. It's not something we like to do. It seems ever since we were children we've been expected to wait. Even now that we're grown, we find ourselves waiting - for opportunities, relief, health, success, even for things we think should already be ours or maybe for things we don't truly understand.

  • Waiting your turn
  • Waiting for deliverance
  • Persevering without knowing why

Grief

Grief may be one of the loneliest journeys we take. Yet even in our darkest hour, we're not truly alone. Through every step and stumble God is ready to walk beside us, steady us, and even hold us where we are. He's done it time and time again.

  • Loss of a child
  • Loss of a parent or mentor
  • Loss of a sibling
  • Loss of a spouse
  • Loss of a friend

Illness or Injury of self or a loved one

A broken world, filled with broken bodies. We are frail, whether we want to admit it or not. Society might cheer for strength and victory but when you're in the throes of a lengthy battle with illness or disability, it's hard to see past the current suffering. And whether that suffering is our own or that of someone we love, the fatigue and agony we feel is undeniable.

  • Suffering a serious illness
  • Watching a loved one struggle with health
  • Serving as a caregiver
  • Learning to live with a disability or chronic illness

Finances

Money is a topic most people don't like to talk about in context of the Bible. Yet, it is a central part of our lives. Many of us have experienced times when we did not have enough. A fortunate few of us have experienced having plenty. All of us experience times when money is top of mind. So, what does the Bible say about money? Did people in the Bible worry about money like we do today?

  • Experiencing financial need
  • Trying to be a good steward or investor
  • Losing everything and starting over
  • Accepting a lower means for a higher purpose
  • Growing a business
  • Life of plenty

Broken Relationship

Love can really hurt. Anyone who has experienced a broken relationship knows the deep ache of loss and longing. Someone who once brought joy and promise may now seem like a stranger, even a threat. Their relationship, once so beautiful and life-affirming, now shards on the floor. Even if we're the ones to blame, we still feel pain.

  • Unfaithful spouse
  • Unattentive or unaffectionate spouse
  • Struggling with temptation
  • Broken relationship with family or friend
  • In a toxic relationship

Marriage and Family

Family matters. If there is one institution that is equally essential, life-shaping, and unavoidable, it is the family. No matter where life takes us, we will always belong to one. It's inescapable because family is where we started.

  • Starting a family
  • Empty nester
  • Seeking salvation for a loved one
  • Infertility
  • Seeking a spouse
  • Divorce or separation
  • Finding love again
  • Parenting

Season of Blessing

When things go right. Its natural to seek God when things are tough. When we feel the pain and realize we need a hand bigger than our own to help us out, it doesn't take long for us to appeal to God's mercy. But what about when things are going well... really well?

  • Life of plenty
  • Long awaited promise is realized
  • Experiencing career success

Seeking Purpose

We all have a purpose. Right? During childhood our imaginations were filled with dreams of far-off lands, adventures into the unknown, braving monsters, and finding secret treasure. It was only as we got older that we realized life is not always so grand. Even so, there remains something inside us that yearns for more. A whisper that reminds us we were made for something wonderful, a special purpose.

  • Wanting to serve but having little to offer
  • Feeling stuck in a life you didn't choose
  • At a crossroads, leaving a life that doesn't fit

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

Forgive me. These two words can be ones we long most to hear from others, a salve for our battered soul. They can also be the most difficult for us to say. Simple yet powerful, they can heal deeply set wounds and lift the heaviness of shame. So, why is saying them so hard?

  • Forgiving yourself
  • Seeking reconciliation with others
  • Struggling to forgive others
  • Seeking salvation for a loved one

Seeking Guidance or Wisdom

Just tell me what to do. Wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple? After all the Bible does say if we need wisdom, we should simply ask for it (James 1:5), and if we do ask for it then we'll receive it (Matthew 7:7). Seems pretty straight-forward. Right? The truth is, it is that simple - but that doesn't mean it's easy.
