Living Out Justice

A series of daily devotionals and challenges to live out justice written by women from around the Salvation Army world.

Not only did Jesus preach with words, but his daily interactions teach us so much about how to love God and to love others. This reading plan invites readers to demonstrate God’s love through daily challenges and choices to consider.

Suffering Well & Suffering With

Looking through the lens of Christian ethics, this series addresses two primary questions. First, what does it mean to suffer well? Second, what does it mean to be compassionate, that is, to suffer well with others? Drawing on Dr. Aimee Patterson's book Suffering Well and Suffering With and a variety of other resources, we will dig into theological matters that come with suffering.

Join us for a nine-part online small group study and conversation series as we explore what it means to suffer well and live compassionately with people who suffer.
If you are interested in participating in this series, please submit your details below and we will reach out to assist in your registration. 

Mondays, January 26 - March 30, 2026.
