Knowing God Beyond Survival Mode™
Knowing God Beyond Survival Mode™
What if survival mode has been teaching you things about God that Scripture never did?
Nobody sits you down and teaches you how to see God through survival mode.
You learn it by living it.
When people weren’t dependable, you learned to depend on yourself.
When you were left to handle things alone, you learned that you were on your own.
When life kept hurting, you started wondering if God was really good.
When nothing made sense, you decided you needed to understand everything before you could trust Him.
When there wasn’t enough, you learned to secure everything yourself.
And when you couldn’t control the outcome, you learned to hold on tighter.
None of those lessons came from Scripture.
But they can still feel true.
Knowing God Beyond Survival Mode™ was created to help you slow down and examine those beliefs through Scripture.
This is not a list of God's attributes to memorize.
It is a six-chapter, context-first Bible study designed to help you separate what survival mode has taught you about God from what Scripture actually reveals about Him.
Inside, you’ll explore six survival lies and six truths about God's character:
• Nothing has held, so everything depends on me.
→ God is Faithful
• I’m on my own. If I don’t carry this, no one will.
→ God is Present
• My circumstances tell me what God is like.
→ God is Good
• If I understood what God was doing, I could trust Him.
→ God is Wise
• There won’t be enough, so I have to secure it myself.
→ God is Provider
• If I don’t control it, everything will fall apart.
→ God is Sovereign
But this guide doesn't stop at telling you what to believe.
Every chapter takes you into Scripture in context, then gives you space to reflect, journal, pray His character, and make what the guide calls the Stewardship Turn: asking what changes in the way you live now that you know this about God.
Inside you'll find:
• 6 in-depth Bible study chapters
• Context-first Scripture study
• The Bird’s Eye View™ method for reading Scripture responsibly
• Survival Lie vs. Who He Really Is comparisons
• Biblical character studies
• Connections to the seven pillars of the BSM™ framework
• Honest journal prompts
• Prayers built around the names and character of God
• Guided stewardship exercises
• A recap chart and reference card
This guide was written for the woman who doesn't have it all together.
The woman who is tired of carrying everything.
The woman who loves God but sometimes struggles to trust Him.
The woman who knows the Scriptures but realizes some of her deepest beliefs about God may have been formed by what happened to her.
And especially for the woman who is still in the middle of it.
Because you do not have to wait until the walls are rebuilt, the bills are paid, the questions are answered, or the season makes sense before you can know God more deeply.
If survival mode narrowed what you could see, this guide was created to help widen your view.
And once you can see differently, you can begin to steward differently.
