THIS MONTH'S IMPACT
Even when our own worries, fears, and anxieties cause us to doubt God’s goodness, He is still faithful to us and loves us through our toughest times. This month’s box offers items to help you through those seasons of doubt and overcome triumphantly! With a powerful book, a beautiful bracelet, a magnet, home decor and gorgeous artwork, this box is filled with items to help you on your journey with the Lord and sidestep any fears and doubts holding you back from walking confidently in the truth of who God is and living out the wonderful plans He has in store for your life!
DOUBT
Hey Faithbox Family,
As Christians and followers of Jesus, doubt is a confusing emotion to experience. We know we’re called to trust be in God. We know we’re supposed to have faith. We know what we should do. But there are situations, struggles, and challenges that make us feel like all there is to do is doubt. You may find yourself asking:
Will God really come through for me?
Why isn’t God answering?
Does God even hear me?
In all honesty, doubt is as much a part of the Christian experience as faith is. We just have a hard time reconciling the two and understanding how one can lead to the other. That is to say, we don’t always see how our doubt can actually lead to faith, and sometimes produce even greater faith.
During this month’s theme, we’ll explore what creates doubt within us, how God responds to our doubt, and what we can do to turn our doubt into meaningful expressions and commitments of faith.
So, wherever you are on the faith (or doubt) journey, know that we’re here to help you along and journey with you. We’re all in this together!

Our Authentic Selves by David Hampton
Stay true.
For most of his life, David Hampton prided himself on how well he knew Christian doctrine. But eventually, a switch flipped inside of him, and he was no longer living true to his authentic self. He soon came to realize; we can never be honest with others until we are honest with ourselves.
In his new book, Our Authentic Selves, he helps readers down the same journey he once went on. With wisdom and encouragement, he’ll help peel back the layers of your heart and leave you transformed, filled with God’s truth, and a transparent follower of Christ who is learning to distinguish what you believe from what you wish you believed.
David Hampton is a credentialed Certified Professional Addiction/Recovery Coach (CPRC) now working in private practice in the greater Nashville area. As a member of the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC) and the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC), he works closely with Nashville area treatment centers across the United States, as well as private coaching, nonprofit organizations, family groups, transitional living facilities, and those whose recovery stories include religious trauma. David co-hosts the popular Positive Sobriety Podcast as well as being the author of a second book, After the Miracle: Illusions Along the Path to Restoration (Morgan James/New York).

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?”
Metal Faith Word with Ribbon by Primitives by Kathy
Walk by faith.
Hang this beautiful metal “Faith” art on a wall, place it on a desk or table, or display it in some place where you’ll see it often as a reminder of the power of faith to overcome doubt, worry, and fear.
Primitives by Kathy started when owner and founder, Kathy, had a desire for unique and creative items to fill the shelves at her art studio and retail store. Kathy took matters into her own hands, and handmade the first “primitive candle box” in 1997. As demand grew quickly for her growing line of handmade products, Kathy enlisted the help of the wonderful people at Goodwill Services to aid in fulfilling the increasing demand. It was at this moment that one of the most valuable philanthropic partnerships was formed and still exists to this day.
Since its start, Primitives by Kathy, has raised over $250,000 for various organizations like Goodwill and the Friendship Heart Gallery, seeking to combine a passion for creativity with a culture of caring.

Custom Watercolor Art Design for Fun
Art for your home, office, or friend.
This month, Madeline’s art card serves as a reminder that when the struggles of life make us feel like we are all alone and we start to question whether God is really there, we can always rely on Him to lead us through. Even in the darkest valley, He is guiding us along. He is our good Shepherd. He comforts us and provides for us. We don’t ever have to doubt His faithfulness, protection, and love for us.
Madeline is a hand-lettering and watercolor artist from Saint Louis, Missouri. She combines her love for art with her Christian faith to create beautiful art with meaning and purpose. As a teenager, Madeline started her company, Inspired Inks, with the intention of using her art as a means to uplift others with encouragement while supporting various organizations who are fighting for justice, supporting law enforcement, strengthening families, and, most importantly, sharing the Gospel!
This month’s Faithbox includes two 5”x7” cards hand-drawn and designed to encourage you throughout this month’s theme. You can display them on your desk, refrigerator, or place them in your favorite picture frame for a more decorative look.

Spiritual Inventory
Our Spiritual Inventory Card is intended to help you get the most out of your faith by being able to track how you’re growing and where you’re going. As you start the new month, take time to reflect on each area and identify where you are doing well and where you can commit a little more focus.
Time with God: More than anything, a relationship with God is exactly that: a relationship. This area focuses on the ways you connect with God. It can include things like prayer, scripture reading, meditation, and reflection.
Relationships: You have been placed in the lives of others to make a difference! Take time each month to consider who God has placed in your life, how those relationships are developing, and what your role is to make a positive impact in their lives.
Generosity: Generosity is at the heart of who God is and all that He does. This area is about the opportunities you have to make a positive impact financially. No matter how large or small, giving financially to an organization or person in need makes an impact.
Serving: A life that’s moving forward is a life that is concerned with the needs of others. In this area of focus, consider where or how you can get involved to serve others in your life, your church, and your community.
“The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.”
