In the midst of hard things—unwanted singleness, an unhappy marriage, infertility, financial hardship, broken relationships, terminal illness—contentment is possible. Do we believe that? Contentment comes from where we look and what we believe, not from what we have. It really comes down to what we live for. This workshop looks at Scripture to see that God does not withhold contentment from us—we do that to ourselves! Contentment really is at our fingertips.
