Have you ever struggled with feelings of discontent? Have you ever looked at your home, car, job, or life in general and desired something more? You would even settle for just something different?

Have you ever watched a fellow brother or sister in Christ backslide? Have you, yourself, ever backslidden? What does that even mean?
