What If You’re Not a Failure? What If You’re Not Falling Behind? What If You’re Learning?“Every single thing that used to work has stopped working, all at the same time.”Award-winning author Shauna Niequist’s mom wrote down this phrase in her mid-forties and shared it with Shauna in her mid-forties. It was exactly the way Shauna was feeling at the time. Many of the beliefs and practices that had been useful in her life no longer worked. After trying—and failing—to move forward using the same old tools, she realized she required new ones: courage, curiosity, and self-compassion.Throughout the five sessions of her I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet video series, Shauna talks about unlearning what is no longer helpful, embracing curiosity, and making peace with the unexpected twists and turns of life. She shares candidly about the challenges and blessings she has experienced and invites participants to explore what happens when we release our expectations for how we thought life would look and open ourselves up to the freedom and peace that come from choosing to be a beginner again.Whatever you’re trying to navigate, Shauna’s honest reflections offer hope for healing and encouragement to begin again. Discover that life is more about questions than answers, more about forgiveness than force, more about tenderness than trying hard.This study guide includes:Individual access to five streaming video sessionsA guide to best practices for leading a groupVideo notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion timeSolo study section with questions and biblical passages for reflection between sessions Sessions and video run times:When Change Comes (And It Always Does) (19:30)Tender Toward Ourselves (20:30)Questions, Questions (24:00)Learning to be Brave (19:00)Coming Home (15:30)This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.An individual access code to stream all video sessions online.

En inbjudan till oss som längtar efter att hinna levaNär Shauna Niequist insåg att sättet hon levde på inte gjorde henne ett dugg lycklig och att hon hade blivit sjuk i både kropp och själ av sitt stressiga och pressande liv, bestämde hon sig för att något måste ändras.I Var dag nog får vi följa med henne på resan som förändrade hennes liv. Varmt, öppet och ärligt delar hon med sig av sina erfarenheter och lärdomar. Och hon vill genom boken ta dig med på samma resa för att hitta ditt äkta jag den du skapades till att vara innan du började tro att du måste bevisa och förtjäna ditt värde.Om du längtar efter nära relationer, lek, vila, nåd, kärlek, mening och djup, men istället fastnar i press, perfektion och prestation då är det här en bok för dig.Var dag nog är en öppen-famn-inbjudan till oss att åter släppa in de människor som vi älskar, och även oss själva, i våra liv. Brené Brown, författare till Mod att vara sårbar, Våga vara operfekt och Resa sig stark, i förordet. Jag grät av lättnad när jag hade tagit in Var dag nog. Jag grät för att jag helt och hållet hade glömt att jag inte behöver göra mig förtjänt av mitt värde, inte behöver stressa runt för att få kärlek och inte behöver kämpa för att få samhörighet. Shaunas ord lika elegant formulerade som de är angelägna uppmanade mig att komma ihåg att mitt värde, min tillhörighet och rätt att bli älskad är medfödda. Jag vet ingen uppmaning som kan vara viktigare och mer nödvändig än den.
