Everybody encounters the unexpected. Whether it's losing a job, receiving a bad report from a doctor, a late-night phone call, a relationship ending, a financial setback, or a dashed dream, "unexpected" shows up in unwelcome ways. Sometimes it feels like it's raining rocks, and we're doing our best to dodge a fatal blow. The question is, how do we respond when life unexpectedly disrupts our plans. In this 5-session study, Stephen and Karen Blandino share their personal unexpected stories of pain and disruption.

Following their stories, Stephen and Karen share five compelling studies - great for personal reflection or small group discussion - on five powerful topics: Trust: Replace the Question with a Period Perspective: Refined or Defined? Community: Family, Friends, and the Power of Love Purpose: Leveraging What Is for What Could Be Legacy: Write It While You're Living Whether you're navigating an unexpected disruption, or your life is going great, these practical sessions will inspire hope, offer wisdom, and deepen your faith.
