Diamonds 2023: Seeing the Invisible

By Diamonds 2023 Speakers

Chronic illness can often make you feel invisible: unnoticed, unloved, and misunderstood, by others or even by God. But you are seen. You are loved. And you are understood. Diamonds 2023: Seeing the Invisible is a free online conference for Christians with health challenges. Founded in 2019, the Diamonds conference invites you to come and receive biblical truth and encouragement to face your invisible battles.

 

This January, twenty authors, bloggers, and ministry leaders join together to offer hope and insight that will help you navigate the challenges of long-term illness. Hear from people like Tera Bradham DeNeui, Nicole O'Meara, Michele Cushatt, Cassidy Poe, and many others about topics such as:

• Trusting God's character through the darkest valleys
• Recognizing God's work in the small things
• Clinging by faith to God's promises in the Bible
• Serving through and from the struggles of chronic illness
• And much more!

Use this study guide to make the most out of Diamonds 2023 and to help you remember these encouraging truths long after the conference weekend.
