Transformed by Grace

When life falls apart, how do you pick up the pieces and move forward? The answer is REFRAME.  To reframe is to see your losses, struggles, and burdens through God’s lens of grace and to let Him reshape your pain into new purpose. Paul describes this process: “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think” (Romans 12:2).

With God’s power, you can become a new person as God guides your thoughts, heals your heart, and energizes new habits. Reframing is not easy; it is an ongoing process of growth as God transforms you by His grace. Join Chuck Swindoll and his daughter Colleen Swindoll Thompson as they transparently share their reframing journeys.

Growing Up in God’s Family

God’s Word describes the body of believers as “brothers and sisters” and “co-heirs” with Jesus, and when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began by saying, “Our Father.” Why?
