With a rallying cry to “remember Lot’s wife,” Bible teacher Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to let go, and to move forward into what God promises for our lives. With the strategies Christine shares, this study will equip you to:

  • stop looking back and start looking to Jesus  
  • invite Jesus to help you let go of whatever is holding you back
  • step into God’s plans, purposes, and promises

Remembering Lot’s wife encourages us to trust Jesus with our future and to boldly follow him into the opportunities and plans we simply don’t yet see.
