Chuck Swindoll did not discover from his parents who he is. Knowing who you are as a child, through your parent’s eyes, gives you security and confidence.

Are you caught in a life filled with insecurity, inner struggle, and confusion? Perhaps it’s because you’re disconnected. Disconnections lead to disqualification and dysfunction. Connections lead to victory. Get connected to Christ.

You can’t escape the trials of life, but you can choose how you react to them. When you choose to give your worries to God, you stop allowing life to intimidate you.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll narrates the five trials Paul endured for defending his faith (Acts 21–23). Paul’s “straight thinking” not only saved his life on several different occasions but also provided peace and confidence as he proclaimed the truth.
