When life feels heavy and the questions won’t stop—Why is this happening? Where is God? What do I do next? Don’t just survive it. Walk through it with purpose. Here’s a simple four-phase path to help you grow deeper, steadier, and stronger in Christ.

Phase 1: Listen

Start with the Daily Bible Podcast on Substack

Daily Bible Podcast Substack

Before you try to fix your circumstances, anchor your heart. The Daily Bible Podcast is designed to help you:

  • Hear God’s Word consistently
  • Understand Scripture in everyday language
  • Stay rooted when emotions feel overwhelming

Sometimes the most powerful step is simply showing up and listening.

Faith grows by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). Start there.

Phase 2: Be Inspired

Read Walk It Out

Listening plants the seed. Inspiration helps it take root. Walk It Out is about living your faith—not just knowing it. It’s for those who are tired of surface-level Christianity and want to experience real transformation. When suffering tempts you to shrink back, this book will encourage you to:

  • Keep walking
  • Keep trusting
  • Keep choosing obedience even when it’s hard

Because faith isn’t proven in comfort. It’s formed in the walking.

Phase 3: Apply God’s Word

Study with the Life Application Study Bible

Information is powerful. Application is life-changing. The Life Application Study Bible helps you:

  • Understand difficult passages
  • See historical and cultural context
  • Discover how Scripture connects directly to your daily struggles

It moves you from “What does this mean?” to “How do I live this today?”

God’s Word is not just meant to comfort you. It’s meant to transform you.

Phase 4: Understand Your Soul’s Liberation Through Story

Read From Dust and Ashes

Sometimes theology explains truth. But story lets you feel it.

From Dust and Ashes explores suffering, redemption, identity, and the deeper freedom Christ offers. Through story, you experience what it means to be reshaped by grace—to rise from brokenness into beauty.

Stories help us see:

  • How God meets us in devastation
  • How He restores what feels lost
  • How liberation often begins in the ashes

Truth enters the mind. Story reaches the soul.

The Journey

Listen. 

Be inspired. 

Apply God’s Word.
Understand your soul’s liberation through story.

You don’t have to navigate suffering alone. Let Scripture ground you. Let teaching strengthen you. Let study guide you. Let story awaken you.

And most of all—let Jesus walk with you through it all.

Love,

Tricia
