Overview

Every Christian wants abundance and wholeness, and we know we're able to experience these things when we are formed by the story and the way of Jesus. So what's the problem? Why do we find ourselves empty, divided in heart, and unfulfilled? Oftentimes, the problem is we are being formed by some other story or way, allowing culture to disciple us more than Jesus does. If we listen closely, these false narratives are everywhere. And it's time to break free from their control over our lives. In this game-changing book, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson shows you how to get unstuck from culture's discipleship pathway. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical tools, Elizabeth helps you not only deconstruct 7 false gospels that invite you into the wrong story and wrong way, but resist them through powerful, time-tested spiritual habits that bring you back into God's story. In these pages, discover: How to identify the false stories you're living in, as told to you by the world How to step into the right, true, and better gospel story as told to you by God How to not only recognize when you're being spiritually malformed by culture, but push back against its influence How to replace cultural practices with 7 powerful gospel practices in your daily life You will not accidentally experience wholeness and abundance; you must be intentional about it. Habits of Resistance will help you fight to stay in the only true Story, true Way, and true Path to abundant life--all of which only come through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

""Elizabeth is skilled at articulating the gnawing questions of the soul. In Habits of Resistance, she uncompromisingly and compassionately invites you to investigate what is most shaping your life, the culture or Christ. This book offers seven habits that we can arm ourselves with in resisting the pull of the culture whose aim is to define and deform us into a lesser version of who God called us to be. If you've been craving more from your spiritual life, if you're hungry for comprehensive peace, and if you want a practical guide to lasting change, then this book will journey with you on the path to an authentic good life found in Jesus.."" --Dr. Sarita Lyons Bible teacher, church leader, psychotherapist, and bestselling author of Church Girl ""Nestling us deep within the story of Scripture, Elizabeth Woodson shows how our hearts rightly long for wholeness. With compelling clarity, she contrasts the claims of the current cultural narratives that promise fulfillment with the biblical vision of shalom. Habits of Resistance invites us into seven age-old spiritual disciplines that reorient our loves and set us on the path to the truly abundant life."" -- Courtney Doctor Director of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition Bible teacher and author of From Garden to Glory: How Understanding God's Story Changes Yours, In View of God's Mercies: The Gift of the Gospel in Romans, and others ""In Habits of Resistance, Elizabeth Woodson offers the kind of discipleship the Church desperately needs. Through compelling stories and faithful engagement with Scripture, she makes the complexities of culture accessible without ever diluting conviction. Elizabeth names the formative power of our world and unflinchingly points us to Jesus as our truest and strongest resistance. This is a wise, timely, and deeply pastoral book."" -- Dr. Nicole Martin Author of Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender ""Clear-eyed and scripture-rooted, Habits of Resistance calls us to examine the false stories we are living by and to submit them to the truth of God's Word.
