Our marriage felt impossible to repair, so I tried fixing everything else. I would wake each morning thinking, What can I do, eat, or buy that will make me feel happy today?
– In the quest for a more organized life, I bought new pretty containers, planners, and pens.
– I loaded my shelves with books promising a formula for quick-fix happiness.
– Maybe getting fit would solve everything, so I purchased new running shoes and a gym membership.
– Perhaps more creativity would be the thing that brought me joy, so I got journals and craft supplies.
– When I felt emotionally drained, I reached to comfort food, social media, and shopping.
– I acquired new cookbooks, clothes, subscriptions, throw pillows, and plants.
Those poor plants. I’ve killed a lot of plants in my life.
But the most life-changing things in life aren’t things.
God’s grace is real and it transforms our mess into rich growing ground.
To help you grow your faith, I’ve created a FREE Cultivating Faith E-book that you can get by signing up here. Inside, you’ll find a recording of my Cultivating Faith Live Webinar, where I share my story with you, my top 10 keys to rooted faith, Bible 101, and simple resources for growing a real relationship with God–no perfection required! You’ll also get free scripture cards to download, and much more. Yes, it’s FREE because this is what I needed back when I had no idea where to start. I hope it all encourages you.

This is an amazing giveaway! You are changing lives!

Your book “Make It Happen” is literally changing my life as I read the pages, like real time Jesus here. I bought the book months ago as a discounted bundle with the powersheets. I was so excited to dig in when I got it but for some reason I just never got around to reading it until now. (I didn’t know it but that was God saying “not yet, this will mean more to you later”. His timing is perfect!) I had plenty of time to read it but for some reason God was saying wait until you go on vacation with your boyfriend and his family to begin reading it. Oh boy was that perfect timing! God knows when we are ready to receive and he waits to give. It’s like when you have amazing news to tell someone or a special gift for them, but if you wake them up in the middle of the night when they are exhausted and cranky and try to give it to them, they probably won’t react the way you want them to…they would be much more excited if you waited until a better time. I open this book and I immediately feel God’s presence and guidance. I am easily distracted and need total peace and quiet to focus but there are times when I can’t put the book down no matter what’s going on around me (that’s God saying “Stefanie you need this more than anything right now”). And then all of a sudden I can’t turn the page and no matter how much I want to keep reading I seem to hit a wall and that is God saying “Okay let’s put this into action and make some things happen”. I am in awe. You wrote this book for me! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart and thank you Jesus for Lara Casey! Here is not a single page of my book that doesn’t have something circled, underlined, or arrows everywhere! What you preach about “making a mess” has truly helped me engage with this book.
-
Thank you for all you tips. Thank you for the guidance to start my relationship with God! Now I can start my journey into cultivating my faith with God. <3
-
I love this! So fun. Thanks for fun giveaways! 🙂
-
ODB, shereadstruth and life lived beautifully studies! Thanks for your resource too!
-
I love this Lara! As someone who has really started my faith journey on my own, it’s often hard to find where to start and where to seek the best resources to get you going and to help you understand the word. You are amazing for sharing this! Thank you!
-
This looks like a great round up of items! I would be excited by any one piece by itself 🙂
-
Right now my favorite resource to cultivate my faith is my School for Lay Ministry classes offered through my church. It is a great program I think everyone in my state should take advantage of.
-
Great idea: encourage someone! I texted my neighbor/friend I’m thankful for her!
-
so thankful for you lara. thank you for posting this and sending the pdf!
-
I am so looking forward to listening to the replay on this!
-
My most favorite “resource” for cultivating my faith? Consistency. This means waking up every morning, pouring my cup of coffee, and curling up with my Bible, journal, and whatever nonfiction Christian book I’m reading at the moment. And while it doesn’t mean there isn’t grace for missing a day, it does mean that there is fruit in obedience, fruit in showing up even when don’t feel like it, fruit in trusting that God’s word truly never does return void.
-
Thank you so much for this beautiful webinar and the encouragement to get into the word. There is nothing more important than a trusting relationship with God. Getting into the word more honestly and consistently is exactly the way to grow that relationship. Thank you!

I encouraged my husband by writing in our journal that we hide for each other!
-
I missed you live but listened later. Thank you so much for pouring into us. Sometimes we need to go back to the basics of God and how to reach Him. We make it so hard sometimes and let life overwhelm us. I appreciate your open honesty and passion. Christ is evident through your life and family. Bless you.

Thanks Lara for this great giveaway! One thing that helps me cultivate my faith is regular times of worship and good friends that hold me accountable.

-
Thank you so so much for this Lara <3 I just watched the webinar and it was simply amazing <3 You answered the money questions of mine and opened up even more. While I do feel overwhelmed right now (very), I also feel a sense of calm and security, which can only have come from your words, and God. I am all so new to this, but this feeling right now? Oh it is good! Or better, it is God.
So thank you Lara, from all of my heart <3

I love the Jesus Storybook Bible! I also love Kristin Schmucker’s prayer journal.

-
Fun giveaway!

-
i am so thankful for you, lara! i have blocked out time tonight to watch the replay. that’s one thing my powersheets have taught me: to block out time for the things that matter; the things the fuel my soul; the things that [imperfectly but progressively] draw me closer to the Lord. i’m excited to watch and learn from the cultivating faith webinar!
-
Love this blog entry. I started watching the webinar but stopped due to too many distractions around me. I will finish it later tonight when I am not babysitting. I am adding all the resources to my list of books to read.

-
Hi Lara!
Thank You for sharing your enCouraging HeartWords plus, all these wonderful resources.
It’s hard to choose a favorite after my Bibles; however, I think Reading Books by Christian Authors & Journaling, both Word & Art, has a great impact on Cultivating my Faith.
Blessings. Have a JOYfull Day! {HUGs} Love Ya! 🙂 -
I love these resources!
-
Favorite resource to cultivate my faith- writing out my prayers in my journal! Keeps me intentional and my mind focused instead of wandering off on bunny trails. I can look back and see how much I’ve grown, and how faithful God is in answering!
-
I was happy to be able to encourage an online associate today who is often sad. It lifted my spirits to know I was lifting hers!
-
As I go about my day and different friends come to my mind, I try to stop and send them a quick text to let them know that they are loved and that I’m praying for them right at that moment!
-
Thank you so very much for being transparent about your faith and struggles! It has built a community of great hope and grace.
-
I encouraged my mom today and sent big hugs her way!
-
Messaging a friend some encouragement!!
-
My favorite resource right now is a blank journal. After journaling on my computer for years, I had gotten out of the habit. Physically writing down my prayers, quotes from the Bible and my readings has been encouraging and life-giving.
-
This is amazing! Love the resources for faith building!
-
Great webinar yesterday! Lara, your words brought up some old hurts I thought I had completely let go, but clearly there is more work to do. Embracing the mess…
-
The webinar was just what I needed, Lara. I can’t wait to try out a WTW journal!!
-
I would love to win! I would like to read Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely . Love Lysa!
-
My favourite resource at the moment is a journal where I write out verses from the bible that are God’s promises, and His attributes. I go back and read through them to remind myself when I forget and get wrapped up in my circumstances.
-
Lara, you encourage me every time I see you on Instagram, and every time I click over to this blog. I hope you realize the amazing impact you are having. Thank you for your real, honest, fresh take on cultivating faith. You are an amazing woman and your guidance is helping me become a better encourager.
-
Couldn’t have been a better time for you all to create this wonderful webinar. Going through some rough patches and feeling down lately, I sure needed to encouragement and reminder that God and my faith will bring me through anything!! <3
-
I have just given my friend a copy of the book Wild and Free and also sent her a link to the Write the Word journals!
-
I can’t wait to listen to the replay of this webinar! Thank you for sharing all of these resources – I will definitely put them on my list 🙂
-
My favorite resource has been BSF (Bible Study Fellowship). Having a group of ladies to be accountable to each week as well as great God centered discussion has grown my faith tremendously!
-
I have been praying with and encouraging a dear friend going through a very very difficult time in her marriage (including sharing your story and posts!).
-
When I first started getting personal about my faith, I read my Bible with a pad of sticky notes. When I had a question or thought about a passage, I would write it down on a sticky and put it right there with the passage. It helped me really think critically instead of just glaze over it all.
Now that I’m a mom of two small children, the First 5 App is often the only way I get devotion time in. Sometimes I even read in the bathroom while waiting for the shower to heat up, or sitting in my car before going into work. -
Wow! What an amazing Give Away! I would love to win any of these! I,praynI might win one! I need a surprise! Thank you for your generosity!

Loved this webinar, thank you so much Lara! My favorite tip – #9: We become what we Behold. I will pay more attention to what I’m paying attention to!
-
My favorite way to grow my faith: spend quality time with sisters in Christ, who also readily admit they don’t have it all together and just embrace their journey
-
This was the best webinar! Today I realized I have 177 pages of the Bible left to read. I am 18 months in reading the Bible! Thank you Lara! You are awesome!
-
I love the WTW journals to do when I take the ferry to work and also following Life lived beautifully on FB and their studies on FB as I can listen to them in the car or while getting ready in the morning.
-

What a great giveaway! I’ve tried to focus on encouraging my husband (who is a school counselor) as school started back this week – I love sneaking little notes into his lunch to hopefully brighten his day!
-
Loved this! I love IF:Equip and SheReadsTruth. I was so encouraged by Jess Connolly/NapTimeDiaries Advent study last year. I’m taking seminary classes and reading “Systematic Theology” – love learning about this from a more academic standpoint too.
-
I would love to win these resource. The write the word materials are the biggest pull for me!

Thanks for creating a great round up of inspiring and cultivating products

-
Thank you for the light and uplift you bring to the world. You’re a beautiful soul!
-
I just finished an amazing Bible study for moms called “Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood.” Her insights were great, the lessons were short enough to get through in my limited quiet time, and the scripture was in context. Loved it!
-
I’m going through the same book! Enjoying it.
-
-
Loved the class! I encouraged someone by making a simple phone call to someone I knew needed to talk. It was fulfilling for both of us!
-
I find She Reads Truth to be a great way to dig into His Word!
-
Loved, loved, loved the webinar. I can’t wait to dig into some of this stuff!
-
Thank you for your heart! There is beauty in the mess.

I just found you and Powersheets and everything in May. You have been a nonstop encouragement. Thank you for your heart!

So excited about this! I’m not from the US so no hard goods for me in case I win… 🙂

What great reads! I just started using your Powersheets this summer and am making your blog a regular read. It is lovely and inspiring.
-
Cannot believe how many amazing tools are included in this giveaway! So encouraged by this community of women you’ve created!
-
I sent an encouraging note to a coworker. This was a great refresher webinar. Good to be reminded of all those promises and practices.
-
You are always so encouraging! Excited about all these goodies. Women of the Word is an awesome book.

-
This is definitely a giveaway worth entering!!
-
Every time I am in a rut, I look forward to your wisdom because God always speaks to me through you. Thank you so much for everything!

Thanks again!
-
What a wonderful giveaway!!! :):):)

I never share for giveaways because I hate clogging my feed, but this is a giveaway that I am happy to share! This is not even for entries, etc, but I wanted to let you know that this is spreading His love. This giveaway is an easy way to say, “hey, I’ve been encouraged by these things and I think you might be too.” Thank you.
-
Thank you Lara! I just recently found your blog and resources and I love it! I encouraged my friend whose been struggling a lot lately.
-
Lara, you are such a blessing! My latest resource has been reading a different Bible version than what I’m used to. This has helped me experience the Word in a new and fresh way. So blessed by it!
-
FYI: The first entry “Bring Your Friends” appears to be broken…I tweeted, but it didn’t activate the entry. 🙂
-
What a great faith building gift!
-
Love this! The VMP journals are amazing!
-
Thank you so much for sharing your hear, Lara! I have been following your story for years and you have truly helped me cultivate a closer relationship with God. You are such a blessing!

Lara – I love how transparent you continue to be about your marriage and faith journey, and I always appreciate your focus on grace in life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-
Wow! Wow! Wow! Your words spoke to me today more than you will ever know. I struggle with many of the same things you shared. Trying to do it all. Trying to be the best business owner, wife, mom, daughter, friend and even home owner. I have been making big changes in my life to do better but sometimes it fees like a struggle to do my best for those who mean the most to me. Thank you for the reminder that I don’t need to fill my life full of things that don’t matter. What matters most to myself and my family is that we all have a relationship with God and that he is what matters most! Thank you for your putting your life story out there for us all to hear today and reminding us that we all deserve grace!
-
I sent this out to my small group! Hope this encourages them as it did me!

-
Thank you for encouraging others through your faith. This was a bright spot in a dark week.
-
Oh my, feel you so much on this! Since last November things have felt like a wilderness to us and we are still in it. Just feels like lots of walking around in circles with no full insight into which way is out. Was having a conversation with my mom about it the other day and she reminded me: God lead the Israelites into the wilderness, it wasn’t an accident that they got there but it was by His leading.
Trying to do my best to rest in knowing that He knows what He is doing in us during this time in the wilderness. -
Love this! Thank you!
-

I adore this and am so excited to dive into the e-book! I absolutely LOVE my Write the Word journals. They help me focus on the scripture, gratitude and reflection. It’s also really helpful to look back and see all that God is doing in my life. <3 This giveaway is fantastic and I have added all of the items to my personal wish list 🙂
-
I love my write the word journals!
-
This is such an amazing giveaway! My favorite resources are my Write the Word journal, because for someone like me who has just started getting into the word, it lowers the intimidation barrier of having to completely understand scripture or have a deep interpretation of it, it allows you to soak in the word by writing it and then just openly journaling what is on our hearts. I love it! 🙂
-
I feel like God has directly encouraged me through all the things you’ve shared. I have this feeling so grateful and almost overwhelming peace after reflecting on the truth you do such a good job of bringing to light. Thank you for putting things back into perspective!
-
Also, it may seem silly, but I really found the app Pocket super helpful, because it gives me a quick way to access your blog. I’ve also been reading The Purpose Driven Life Book again, and I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of that.
-
I am going to save these resources! I have been doing the write the word journal and I love it!
-
These look like great books and resources! I’m excited to dive into some of these!

-
Honestly, while different resources have come and go in my life, my favorite resource is my simple spiral bound notebook prayer journal. God and I have had many beautiful times with that notebook (well, different versions of it 😉 )
-
where you were is where I am right now. I feel like my life is falling apart, and I don’t know how to fix it. I have just dug into the word, started praying more with and for
Husband. We decided today that our family is going to start gratitude journals to keep us focused on so many of our blessings. I bought Make it Happen awhile ago, but just haven’t been able to concentrate to complete anything. So I am praying for consistency, and mental clarity to get me through this stage of life. Thank you so much for your honesty and transperency. You are such an inspiration! -
There are so many great resources here! I would love to read Uninvited and my twins would adore the Storybook Bible. Not too mention that It Is Well with My Soul is a favorite of mine. I am also interested in trying out the Write the Word journals. I have several friends who copy scripture daily and find it to be very useful for centering their day and expanding their knowledge. Thank you for this chance to win!

Thank you for sharing these awesome words, tools, scripture art, and more as a resource to help us as we walk daily with the Lord! I’m someone who stumbled into vocational ministry and am now a children/youth director who is learning a lot as I go, the most important lesson being that f I’m not drinking Living Water, burnout will happen — fast. A few of my favorite resources are the Blue Book (now on Amazon!) by Jim Branch, and the Storybook Bible Amazon videos, which have such beautiful animation of major Bible themes.

My favorite resource is my Bible. Hands down. Nothing else compares.
-
I love having Scripture and truth hanging around my home!

I have finished reading Make It Happen and its by far my favorite book. Cried the first paragraph in and didn’t stop until about half way through. Read the book in 6 days. Just couldn’t put it down.

Amazing stuff!

-
Wow! What an incredible set of encouraging things and just in writing this comment now I am encouraged because 1 John 4:18 (at the bottom of the screen) has been on my heart for the past few days as i’ve been battling anxiety. One big way that I cultivate faith is in sitting down with a sweet friend and just recounting all the ways God has been good to us, fostering an attitude of gratitude which fights off feelings of discontentment and entitlement (which are very easy to fall into!) Thank you Lara for allowing Jesus to use you to encourage others, including myself! Thankful for you!
-
My favorite resource to help cultivate my faith is my journaling Bible!
-
Texted my friend Emily a little encouragement 🙂
-
I recently joined an Anglican church and have been loving the book of common prayer. The combination of prayer and Scripture for morning and evening, plus the idea that people have prayed these same prayers for years and years – very powerful.
-
Something that helps cultivate my faith is listening to specific Podcasts like: Influence Network, GodCentered Mom and Revive Our Hearts
-
I TEXTED A DEAR FRIEND TO ENCOURAGE HER TODAY, SHE IS HAVING A ROUGH TIME WITH HER SMALL GROUP. SENT HER SOME SCRIPTURES!
-
I love using prayer journals to keep track of my prayer topics and answered prayers! And of course, my study bible is essential to my daily QTs. I’m always open to more resources that will help, you can never have enough 🙂
-
Thank you Lara for such an awesome giveaway! Your hard work and wise words are a constant motivation (in faith and business).

As a teacher, I encourage my students daily. Thanks for the encouragement you give me!!

I decided to text an encouragement to whoever was listed first on the active screen of Facebook Messenger. It was my husband- so I texted him a sweet and encouraging message .
-
This looks awesome!! Thanks for being so encouraging!!
