When Striving...

May the resources curated in the "Enduring Season" be helpful and encourage you to learn (for first-timers) or relearn about “The Good News.” With the guidance of today’s Bible teachers, we can navigate a deeper understanding of the Gospel and faithfully experience a renewed encounter with God. Such encounters serve as motivation and encouragement to continue striving for a new life with Christ Jesus.


We pray that the message of the Gospel is experienced equally by both husband and wife. However, if this new journey poses a challenge for your spouse, let us remember that individual growth in faith is impactful not only for oneself but also for the marriage.


There is no doubt that we observe sincere efforts in striving for a good life—and a good marriage. Yet, alongside these genuine efforts often come confusion and questions, which can lead to disappointment and frustration when there seems to be little evidence of progress. While it may feel like a dead end, in reality, it is a crossroads leading to true life, striving under God’s amazing grace, mercy, and love.


This time, let’s embrace this crossroads and relearn how to strive for a life that follows Christ, influenced by the Holy Spirit and grounded in God’s Word. May the following curated resources provide clarity and a renewed experience of God’s presence.


  • Striving by Following Christ 
  • Striving by the Holy Spirit 
  • Striving by God’s Word
  • Striving God's Design Marriage


Be intentional about having a full cycle of learning experiences using any of the resources with the help of our D.R.A.S.H. 5 Steps Learning Method Worksheet.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.


John 14:26
