  After Joshua’s death, the tribes of Israel continue their conquest of the southern regions of Canaan, but they are unable to cleanse the land thoroughly of its native inhabitants. God declares that these remaining people will be an impediment to Israel’s enjoyment of the promised land. Generations pass, and the younger Israelites turn away from God, intermarrying with the Canaanites and worshipping the local deities. God threatens to abandon Israel because of the disobedience of the youth, but he selects a series of judges, or rulers, to act as temporary leaders for the people.

  Read by the author. 
  Do you find yourself living as the people pleaser or peacekeeper? Do you avoid conflict? Learn how to overcome your fears about setting boundaries and step into a life that's overflowing with love, respect, and healthy relationships.  
  We are people who love patterns, even if returning to these patterns continues to hurt us or those we love. Some of the most harmful patterns of behavior are passed down through generations and inherited, often without our permission or awareness. The conflict arises when these behaviors are so deeply woven into early family systems that they later become part of our identities, clashing with who God has created and called us to be. 
  As a child, Courtney Burg quickly learned that remaining loyal to others meant keeping secrets, even if these secrets were keeping those she cared for most sick. Her efforts to sustain the peace followed her into adulthood and slowly left her depleted, discouraged, and drowning in the chaos—until Courtney discovered that not only did God grant her permission to engage in relationships differently, but that he gave her specific instruction on how to do so.  
  In Loyal to a Fault, Courtney Burg unpacks the various ways we cope with, enable, and participate in unhealthy relationships or generational trauma. Using personal examples and providing practical wisdom, Courtney helps you break free from codependent patterns by:Identifying the role you are playing in keeping the dysfunctional patterns going.Reframing what it means to love and remain loyal to those who matter most.Reminding you that boundary work is a biblical practice. 
    
  It is possible to learn how to love others well without losing yourself along the way. People pleasing, complaining, and exhaustion may be today's norm, but at any moment you can choose to do things differently. Begin setting boundaries and start enjoying relationships in all the ways God designed you to.

  Hope - Inspiring Optimism in...

  Hope is a force that fuels resilience, strengthens determination, and inspires people to push forward even in the darkest moments. It is not just wishful thinking but a deep-seated belief that better days lie ahead. When faced with adversity, hope becomes a guiding light, illuminating possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen. It empowers individuals to rise above setbacks, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. 
  Why hope matters in difficult times is evident in the way it shapes human responses to hardship. Those who embrace hope tend to navigate struggles with a sense of purpose and persistence. It provides the emotional strength needed to endure uncertainty, offering reassurance that no storm lasts forever. People who hold on to hope are more likely to take proactive steps toward improvement rather than surrender to despair. 
  The science behind optimism reveals that hope is more than an abstract concept—it has tangible effects on mental and physical well-being. Studies suggest that individuals with a hopeful outlook experience lower stress levels, improved immunity, and a greater ability to cope with life’s difficulties. The brain, when wired for optimism, releases chemicals that promote motivation and resilience. This neurological response reinforces the idea that hope is not only beneficial but essential for overall health and success.
