Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve women around the globe.

What was missing? Well, lets just say it’s audacious and it’s for all of us. And it’s the path to the life you were born to live.
We all have those days: when small problems become crises, when doubt begins to overwhelm faith, when exhaustion hits and depression colors the world black. Fact is, the daily grind of life is not going away! Since we cannot escape it, we must find a way to live beyond it. And the book of Psalms holds the answers, offering words of surpassing strength and comfort for those difficult and demanding times. In Living the Psalms, Charles R. Swindoll explores such pressing themes as fear of the unknown, discouragement and worry, how to handle difficult people, and what to do when God is silent. Through twenty six engaging weeks in the Word, one of Christianity’s foremost pastors will guide you not just to read the Psalms but to live them - reminding you of a grace that never fails and a God who is constantly at work to transform the daily grind into a daily miracle.
