One Gritty Blink

In our present moment in history, with what seems like so much chaos, suffering, evil, hardship, polarization, and uncertainty, I found “One Gritty Blink” helpful in combating the tendency I have to feel overwhelmed and despaired with all that is wrong in the world.

I met Laurie a few years ago and her book, "Live ABOVE the Chaos" helped my faith journey immensely so I was excited to be part of one of the inaugural "One Gritty Blink" study groups. I'm so glad Laurie is sharing her gifts of communicating around hard topics with the world. While this study is deep, it is presented in a very accessible way by posing one question per week for five weeks on topics like, "What do I do with all this suffering?' and "How does God view me?" The One Gritty Blink videos and workbook are designed to help participants explore these hard questions in light of what the Bible says about the brevity of life and eternity. I highly recommend you complete this study and invite others you care about to do so as well.

The One Gritty Blink (OGB) Bible study is an opportunity to live out Romans 12:2. Week by week, the study helps you renew your mind. After just 6 weeks, my perspective on suffering, identity in Christ, loving others, and what it means to authentically live for Jesus have changed for the better, transforming me from the inside out. Laurie is a great listener and an incredible teacher. If you're looking to grow spiritually in a really practical way, I urge you to participate in an OGB study.

Some friends and I just completed One Gritty Blink as our summer Bible study. It was fantastic! I found it to be simple enough for anyone to participate, yet it encouraged deep reflection and examination as we unpacked the focus questions each week. I looked forward to watching the videos, as they developed the study that much more. I highly recommend going through it with your own small group!
