Restless Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Because You Were Made for More
About this ebook
We all desperately want to live for something. We die a little inside when we think we aren’t living for something, and are ready to die when we think we can’t.
But, Jennie Allen says that the restlessness we feel might not be a bad thing. When our restlessness awakens our longing for more of God, it can be a catalyst to living the life of purpose God designed for us.
In Restless, an eight-session video Bible study, Jennie uses the story of Joseph to explain how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater story of God—and how our story can do the same. In this study you will:
- Explore practical ways to identify the threads of your life
- Learn how to intentionally weave those threads together
- Discover how your gifts, passions, places, and relationships aren’t random; they’re deliberate and meaningful
- Speak the truth about your suffering: it’s possible it has produced the very thing you want to give back to the world
The Restless Study Guide engages the mind and heart through stories, Bible study from the life of Joseph, and implements a tool we call “threads” to help you see your own personal story and uncover the raw materials God has given you to use for his glory and purpose.
