About this listen
You’ve hit a wall in your life, or maybe you just feel lost in the chaos of all the things. Are you going to cope, quit, or come alive in a new way?
We’ve all found ourselves in disorienting seasons when the ground is no longer steady under our feet. Maybe there’s an obvious crisis or life change you are navigating; maybe the reason is difficult to name, but you feel stuck nonetheless. Whatever the case, you’re asking, Are my best days behind me? Who am I now that things have changed? What is my purpose? Where am I headed and how do I get there?
Levi Lusko faced these hard questions during a midlife crisis and was surprisingly delighted by what he found on the other side. Blessing. He can attest that when things that once fulfilled you no longer can, you are perfectly positioned to receive from God the new strength, focus, and purpose He has for you.
With a rich blend of raw personal stories, biblical insight, and practical guidance, Blessed Are the Spiraling will help you:
- accept that new seasons require new strategies and offer new purpose
- confront inner conflicts and old wounds that are holding you back
- find contentment and significance in the life that is in front of you
- recognize what is precious and what is worthless, and focus on the treasures of the now and not yet
- get your bearings in difficult and uncertain terrain and be developed along the way
God’s desire is for you to discover that, in the midst of crisis, there is serenity, strength, and meaning. Within the chaos, there is a hidden delight—and a catalyzing force for lasting formation. Our toughest seasons can become a death that leads to life. An end followed by a beginning. And if we keep walking with Jesus, we can live and die gloriously.

Story
There is an Enemy among us. You may know who he is, but you may not know what he is about. Do you know how he wages war? Do you know how he targets you specifically? He's the Villain who wants to change your story in the hopes you live isolated, powerless, discouraged, and defeated. If you're weary from the struggle and ready to experience life as God intended, this book will help you explore the tactics of Satan, equip you to overcome spiritual battles, and remind you of the victory already secured through Jesus.

You have an enemy...and he's dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ.

So this audiobook is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works.

Jesus was never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where he was, trusting and obeying his Father. Could the same be said of us? We long to know peace, purpose, and contentment, but life's stresses, the world's discouragements, and our own striving for growth get in the way. In Relaxed, pastor and teacher Megan Fate Marshman explores what it means to set aside our addiction to trying to figure everything out and relish a slower, compelling, powerful, and relaxed life with God.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy. Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.
