In the Middle of the Mess: Strength For This Beautiful, Broken Life (Study Guide)

Sheila Walsh

Paperback

Description: 

The trials we face in this life can feel overwhelming. Life often seems broken—shattered into a million pieces—and at times we may wonder if our mess is “too big” for God. We can convince ourselves we are too far away from God’s grace for it to reach us where we are.

Sheila Walsh knows this feeling all too well—and the hiding and shame that result from it. But in this six-session video study, she shows how using spiritual disciplines such as confession, prayer, and meditation on Scripture helped her break free from this cycle of despair and experience newfound joy as a child of God—fully known, fully loved, and fully accepted. She reveals that while we will never be completely “fixed” on earth, God’s power can be made perfect in our weakness. He is waiting to accept us—having already promised to love us, heal us, and carry us through to the end. Our brokenness can be the beginning of something beautiful, and accepting the fact that we are broken can be the key to finding God’s strength in the middle of the mess.

This study guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and in-between session study materials that will help you practice the spiritual discipline Sheila is discussing each week as she leads you and your group members through the journey of brokenness.

Sessions include:

Brokenness Is the Beginning
Brokenness Is Hard
Brokenness Is Loud
Brokenness Is to Be Shared
Brokenness Is the Path to Healing
Brokenness Is Temporary
Designed for use with the In the Middle of the Mess Video Study (sold separately).
