A Story of Crushing

My friend, have you ever felt like life has moved beyond being simply ‘difficult’ and has become truly ‘crushing’? We all face seasons where the weight of our circumstances feels like an avalanche we can’t escape. In this video, I’ve asked my dear friend and Pastor of Biblical Counseling, Steve Fischer, to share a very personal story.

Steve and his wife walked through a long, dark valley as they navigated the profound illnesses and life struggles of their daughter, Payton. It’s a raw, honest look at what happens when a family is pushed to the breaking point. But here is the truth we want you to see: the crushing isn’t designed to ruin you; it’s designed to reshape you. If you feel like you are being ground to powder by your current trials, listen to Steve’s journey. There is hope to be found, and there is a Savior who meets us in the middle of the mess.

From Promise to Presence

Everlasting Light: A Journey from Promise to Presence

From December 1 to 25, let the advent devotional Everlasting Light move you into a spirit of waiting, reflection, and preparation for Christ’s arrival.

Written by our Spanish pastor Carlos Zazueta (and also available in Spanish), this book includes quotes from Pastor Chuck to recenter your heart each day.

For 33 years I have been in what feels like a very oppressive marriage. Chuck’s messages along with his "Swindoll Insights," as well as Chuck’s willingness to share his own struggles, have helped me stay on God's mission. —D. W. from California
