Diamonds 2023 Summer Event: Resting in the Storm

By S. G. Willoughby, Melissa J. Troutman, Mary Herceg and Diamonds 2023 Summer Speakers

Chronic illness often feels like a storm: wild, unpredictable, harsh, and frightening. While struggling to simply stay afloat, we can easily lose sight of what it means to rest—both physically and spiritually—and why we need rest. Yet Scripture invites us to find rest in God, not just when the storm is over but in the middle of the storm—wind, waves, and all. 

 

Diamonds 2023 Summer Event: Resting in the Storm is a free online conference for Christians with health challenges. Founded in 2019, the Diamonds conference is an opportunity for you to come and receive biblical truth and encouragement to rest in the middle of your storm.

 

This June, several authors, bloggers, and ministry leaders will join together to offer hope and insight to help you navigate the challenges of long-term illness. Hear from speakers Tera Bradham DeNeui, Devid Heflin, Anna Kowlessar, and others about topics such as:

• Being still in the storm
• Rejecting our culture's idol of productivity and resting in God's grace
• Removing roadblocks to rest
• Hearing and obeying the Master's call to rest
• And more!

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