What happens when putting God first gets harder because everything else in your life is going well? You can be serving God, building a successful career, helping others, and not realize your relationship with God is being neglected. Sometimes the hardest spiritual drift to recognize happens while you’re busy doing good things.

Bill Baker learned that lesson the hard way. His life looked successful from the outside, but he didn’t recognize what had gotten out of order until it was too late.

Now, Bill shares what he wishes he had done differently and the practical things he does today to keep his relationship with God from becoming an afterthought.

Because you don’t have to wait until something falls apart to start protecting your relationship with God.

You’re trying to keep trusting God in hard times. But what happens when you’ve prayed for things to change and they haven’t?

Maybe you’re tired of waiting. You don’t understand why God hasn’t changed it. And some days, you’re doing everything you can just to keep holding on.

Kimberly Goins reached a point so dark that her prayer became, “God, if You don’t sustain me, I’m not going to make it.”

But Kimberly has also experienced moments she couldn’t understand until later, including an unexpected prayer specifically over her foot before an accident left that same foot lying sideways in the floorboard of her car.

What looked confusing beforehand became something very different when she looked back.

And if you’re still in the middle of something you don’t understand, you may not be able to see yet what you’ll recognize when you look back.

Two of Kimberly’s favorite words say it best:

But God.

The doctor gave you the bad news. Now how do you keep those words from becoming the only thing you can hear?

You want to trust God, but fear has a way of pulling your attention back to the diagnosis, the prognosis, and everything that could go wrong.

What if worship has something to do with what happens next?

Matthew Barker has faced moments when the doctors' words sounded convincing and worry had every reason to take over.

But this isn't just about what happened to his family.

It's about what you do when fear is fighting for your attention and trusting God feels harder than it did before the bad news came.

What gets your focus then?

And could worship instead of worry be more practical than you ever realized?

You said you were done. And you meant it.

But somehow, you ended up right back there again.

Whether it's drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling, or another addiction you can't seem to break, eventually you start wondering why wanting to stop isn't enough.

Bob Ferry knew that cycle well. He tried to get free for years. He couldn't.

Then, at his lowest point, Bob prayed a prayer he wasn't even sure would work.

If you're tired of starting over, hear what changed when Bob finally realized why he couldn't get free on his own.

Madison Gedman was just hours from death because of a rare blood disorder... and she didn't even know she was sick.

The story didn't begin with the diagnosis.

It began long before anyone knew she was in danger.

She didn't want to move back home.

Her parents almost left for vacation.

She almost went to a different hospital.

Looking back, she realized God had been weaving every one of those moments together long before anyone knew her life was in danger.

But surviving turned out to be only the beginning.

Because after the miracle came a question so many of us quietly face:

Will you spend the rest of your life afraid of what could happen... or trust the God who has already been faithful?

What if you've been going the same direction for so long... you've never stopped to ask where it's actually taking you?

Steve Kang was raised Buddhist and began meditating as a child, believing it could take a million years to reach God. He became so devoted that he even brought Christian friends to the Buddhist temple.

Then a drug-induced nightmare, a suicide attempt, and what Steve describes as eight hours in hell confronted everything he believed. Months later, he says he was shown heaven.

Whether you're still searching for God or you've followed Jesus for years, Steve's story raises a question that's hard to ignore:

**If eternity is real... should it change the way you're living right now?**

You keep wondering if this battle is just part of who you are now.

When Judy Gregerson was diagnosed with schizophrenia, she says it felt like she was handed medication in one hand... and despair in the other.

For years, she believed what others said about her future until she had to decide whose voice she was going to believe.

Maybe your diagnosis is anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or another mental illness. Maybe you've quietly started believing nothing will ever change.

Because what if **forever** was never the truth?

Why would the day you died become the best day of your life?

Johnathan Bond had a plan: an accounting degree, a career, and a future that made sense. Then, just hours after singing There's a Miracle in the Making, everything changed.

After being pronounced dead following a devastating car accident, Johnathan discovered something that mattered even more than surviving.

Listen to hear what he discovered that day... and why, more than thirty years later, he still calls it the best day of his life.
