Yes! You Really CAN Change: What to Do When You're Spiritually Stuck

by Chip Ingram

Overview

If God changes lives, why is mine stuck in the mud?

We all want life change, but achieving it is hard. As Christians, we know we’ve got God’s help. Jesus has made it possible. The Holy Spirit even lives inside us! And yet, too many Christians are stuck in the mud when it comes to life change. What’s going on? Can things ever get better? Can my life ever turn the corner?

Pastor Chip Ingram’s answer is simple: Yes, you really CAN change! With godly wisdom and practical advice drawn straight from Scripture, Chip will help you answer questions such as:

• Why do so many Christians change so little?
• Where do we get the power to change?
• How do you know when you’re really changing?
• How do you break out of a destructive lifestyle?
• How do you make it last?

In Yes, You Really CAN Change, you’ll learn the difference between living for God’s approval and from God’s approval. It’s time to get off the hamster wheel of Christian expectations. Only when you understand your full acceptance by a loving God can life change begin to happen.
