When Strivings Cease Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Replacing the Gospel of Self-Improvement with the Gospel of Life-Transforming Grace

by Ruth Chou Simons

Find freedom from the never-ending quest for approval and affirmation by learning how to accept the undeserved gift of grace from a merciful God. In today's society, the pressure to perform is overwhelming. It's a hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, and women are more anxious than ever. Many of us end up constantly feeling behind, lacking, and like we're failing—at home, at work, with friends, with God. In this six-session Bible study (video streaming included), bestselling author, artist, entrepreneur, and speaker Ruth Chou Simons calls women to discover how God's profound gift of grace and favor invites them to rest from chasing approval and earning love, and instead discover the freedom of true belonging and worth that doesn't depend on them. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience , After going through this study, you'll walk away understanding more fully that the generous, unmerited favor of God is the means to the welcome, love, and approval you so deeply long for.

Good, relevant, Biblical content. I completed this study with a small group; and each week it opened alot of good discussion and opportunities to point back to Scripture what God says about us vs what the world says. What does it look like to cease striving with Christ within us in a world where we are always striving? Find some friends and dive into this study together. 👍🏻

The study itself was great, but it has a code that's supposed to unlock the videos that go with it. That never worked. So every time the study referenced the video, or the video content introduced a theme that wasn't fully fleshed out elsewhere, I felt like I was missing things. Great study, but the logistics were less than ideal.
