Your Barriers Aren't the End of Your Story
Weary. Numb. Desperate for a way through. You're not the only one fighting.
From Barrier to Breakthrough gives you a biblical framework and practical tools to move through every barrier standing between you and God.
In the thick of your disillusionment and exhaustion, there is good news: you are not the only one fighting. Your God is pursuing you with His goodness and mercy all the days of your life. No matter what is putting distance between you and God, your Father's arm is never too short to save. Through Christ, He moved heaven and earth to close the gap between you and Him, and He will not allow anything to come between you now.
God desires to use your everyday questions and struggles to break through the barriers unique to the space between you and Him. He knows about your wondering and your wandering, your tendencies and your trauma, your suffering and your sin. And just as He knows your past, He knows your present and future, and He plans to use it all to transform your relationship with Him for His glory.
A Framework for the Whole Journey
This book walks you through the three ways we drift from God, in our wondering, our wandering, and our wounding, and the seven barriers underneath them.
In Your Wondering
Barrier of Inexperience · Barrier of Doubt
In Your Wandering
Barrier of Disobedience · Barrier of Distraction · Barrier of Performance
In Your Wounding
Barrier of Silence · Barrier of Suffering
Each chapter opens with an honest question many of us are afraid to ask out loud, and closes with God's Truth That Transforms, along with reflection questions and practical tools to help that truth take root.
