What do you do when you don't feel God?
As Christians, sometimes we have mountain top experiences where God feels close and fellowship with Him is easy. Then there are times when we feel like we are wandering around in the desert and God is nowhere to be found. If you've ever felt like that, or feel that way now, you're in good company. For forty years the Israelites wandered in the wilderness and many times they wondered, "Where is God?"
He is Here, by Ryan McDermott, is a seven-session Bible study designed to help you know what to do when (not if) you find yourself in the wilderness. Even if you don't feel God, even if you seem to be in the wilderness, even if you're confused, scared, and feel alone, He is here.
Features:
- Seven small-group sessions
- Seven interactive teaching videos featuring author; approximately 8-10 minutes for each session
- Leader Guide in the back of the Bible study book to guide questions and discussion with small groups
- Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
- Personal study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth
