anchors for the soul: trusting god in the storms of life
may 20, 2020
a completely online small group experience to bring us together when we feel thrown apart
the untethered sensation of social distancing, isolation and uncertainty can make even those with strong constitutions feel sea sick. as we all look to find stability in a roiling global crisis, dr. john mark hicks offers to share with us the anchors that have kept him from capsizing in the storms throughout his own life.
"what does it mean to say that god loves us in the midst of our hurt? what does it mean to say that god listens to us when we're hurting? what does it mean to say that god really understands our hurt? and if god reigns, then why am i hurting at all?"
john mark gives an honest hearing to these questions in his book and accompanying video series, anchors for the soul. using the powerful metaphor of anchors in the storms of suffering, he names five points he has been able to return to again and again to help ground him in the presence of god: god loves. god listens. god understands. god reigns. and god wins.
“when we look for an anchor in ourselves in our day-to-day life, that’s too turbulent. it’s too chaotic, it’s too changing,” he says. “what we need is permanent anchors that give us a sense of who god is.”
because we all need anchors to reach for these days, john mark and him publications are offering special access to anchors for the soul for groups of 10-30 people who would like to explore these stabilizing truths of god together in a completely online small group experience.
once the leader has registered a group online, each participant will receive a free ebook, the leader will have access to 10 videos the group can watch together at their own pace, and as an additional point of connection, john mark will personally join their final online meeting for a q&a session. there is just one $25 registration fee per group in order to sustain this offering.
