Are you burning out from busyness?
We often glorify "the hustle," hoping to find acceptance in our hard work. Yet for most of us, we find ourselves on the way to burnout and anxiety from sometimes pointless pursuits. What if meaningful struggle can instead lead us to growth, depth, and even joy?

The apostle Paul understood hard work and struggle better than most. But even in prison, where we'd expect him to be at his lowest, he wrote a letter to his Philippian friends filled with thankfulness, generosity, and joy. This letter shows us how we can blossom by finding the meaning in our struggles.

Perfect for individual or group study, this Get Wisdom Bible study includes:

• 7 weeks of in-depth devotionals on the book of Philippians
• Prayer sections to journal your thoughts at the end of each day

What Are You Hustling For?
We glorify busyness. We hustle, hoping to gain approval and find acceptance. Yet most of us simply hustle our way to burnout. But what if it's only pointless hustle that leads to burnout? What if meaningful struggle can lead us to growth and depth and even joy?

The apostle Paul understood hustle--and struggle--better than most. While in prison, where we'd expect him to be burned out and depressed, he wrote a letter to his Philippian friends seeking to build them up, a letter filled with encouragement to live in authenticity, unity, and community.

We might feel that life is trying to bury us . . . but what we forget is that each of us is a seed. Philippians will show us how we can grow deep roots and blossom by finding the meaning in our struggle.
