Overcome your struggles. Fulfill your deepest longings. Your whole life awaits you. Many people today are struggling with unprecedented levels of anxiety, hurt, doubt, guilt, and shame. Medical and mental health professionals confirm that much of the dysfunction and disconnectedness we experience in life stems from unresolved relational and emotional hurts. These hurts leave us with unfulfilled God-given longings that we seek to fulfill through unhealthy behaviors and relationships. Yet, our struggles aren't random; they're signals that when answered, can pave our way towards a thriving life. In Free to Thrive, Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett invite you on a journey of healing and will teach you how to overcome unwanted behaviors by engaging your unmet longings. With a blend of hard-won wisdom and youthful energy, they present: Biblical teaching Recent neuroscientific research Time-tested principles Personal stories of deliverance Practical tools Opportunities for reflection No matter what you are struggling with, it is possible to experience the spiritual, emotional, and relational wholeness that God wants you to have—and live the thriving life you were made for.
