Dear John,

What would it look like to have steadfast hope and peace no matter your circumstances? That's the freedom the apostle Paul modeled -- and invites every believer to share in Christ.

Though imprisoned for sharing the Gospel, Paul's spirit remained free. From his cell in a Roman prison he wrote four letters -- Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon -- overflowing with joy, courage, and confidence in Christ. What the enemy meant for harm, God used to build up the church and strengthen believers for generations.

That's the same strength we need today.

On Saturday, November 1, we begin reading through Paul's prison letters in our Stand on the Word Bible reading plan and invite you to join us as we study these transformative letters. And as an additional resource, FRC's new study guide -- Paul's Prison Letters -- will take you on a 14-day journey through Paul's writings that we pray will help you discover how to live free in Christ no matter your circumstances.

If you've been longing for encouragement, joy in hard places, and a faith that endures, then join us November 1 and order our new study guide, Paul's Prison Letters, today.
