SUMMARY:Summer Bible Study for Caregivers at Cracker Barrel - Arizona (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Joni and Friends Arizona\, in partnership with Cracker Barrel\, invites you to our Summer Bible Study for Caregivers\, an encouraging eight-week study designed especially for parents and caregivers of individuals living with disability. \nTogether we’ll spend 90 minutes each week between August 6 – September 24\, studying The Gospel in Hard Times\, a powerful resource from Joni and Friends that offers a biblical perspective on suffering\, hope\, and the presence of Christ in our deepest struggles. Through Scripture\, thoughtful discussion\, and authentic fellowship\, you’ll discover how the Gospel speaks into the challenges you face as a caregiver. \nEach session is guided by Joni Eareckson Tada’s rich biblical teaching on God’s faithfulness in suffering\, which will help you to experience God’s presence amid your own pain and the suffering of those you love. Whether you’re feeling weary\, searching for encouragement\, or longing to grow deeper in your faith\, this study will provide a safe place to connect with other caregivers\, strengthen your relationship with Christ\, and build a lasting foundation of hope in Jesus. \nCome enjoy eight weeks of meaningful fellowship\, biblical encouragement\, and life-giving community as we learn to find hope through hardship together. We look forward to growing alongside you this summer. \nFacilitated by: Kerri Jeter\, Area Director\, Joni and Friends Arizona; Amanda Tallman\, Key Community Leader\nRegistration required
