We live in a world filled with anxiety, turmoil, and constant change. But anchoring our hope in Christ brings us the security we so desperately need.
We may be tempted to think that feelings of instability and insecurity are mostly modern problems, but they have plagued the human heart from the beginning. They were challenges of the church in Colossae. Paul wrote his letter to address the specific ways that the Colossians’ stability was being jeopardized by clever lies and the infiltration of false beliefs. He prayed and longed for them to hold firm to the hope of the gospel as he reminded them that they had all they needed in Jesus.
Through You Are Secure, an eight-week devotional centered on the book of Colossians, Aimee Joseph helps us see that it is our union with Christ that fills our hearts with peace. Amidst a largely insecure world, our security is anchored into the unchanging person of Jesus.

“As we make our way through life in a world with so much uncertainty about the future, we need a daily touchstone, a daily tethering to the source of our hope, which is exactly what Aimee Joseph provides in You Are Secure. Each day’s brief insights into Scripture and penetrating application questions help to keep Christ at the center of our thoughts, our conversations, and our confidence.”

“Colossians is a small but powerful book. In this eight-week Bible study, Aimee Joseph serves as a skillful guide. Each day’s reading feels like opening the Scriptures with a friend who helps us not only go deeper in our study but also to allow God’s Word to permeate our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions about who he is and what he’s doing in our lives. This two-month journey will serve well those who are brand new to Christianity, as well as those who have been walking with Jesus for decades. I’m grateful for this new resource for the church.”

“Aimee Joseph soaks herself in Scripture. In You Are Secure, she reminds us of the width, depth, and breadth of God's love and how our identities and lives find security only in Christ. Exploring Colossians, this devotional firmly, gently, and practically reminds readers that union with Christ is the aim of our churches and lives.”

“In our culture today, identity is a hot topic. People are taught to find their identity in how they feel, what they do, or what they have. But the Bible teaches otherwise. In Aimee Joseph's devotional, You Are Secure, readers are invited to learn from the book of Colossians. These rich, accessible devotions draw us into the heart of the gospel. Aimee is a friendly and gracious guide, walking us through the chapters of Paul's letter, pointing us to an identity that is solid and secure. It's not found in what we feel, what job we do, or what we desire; it is found in our union with Christ alone.”
Christina Fox, Speaker; author of Who Are You? A Little Book About Your Big Identity
“Finding our gospel footing in an anxious and unstable world can often be difficult. Aimee Joseph's new devotional encourages the reader to divert their thoughts from their temporal concerns to set their minds on the things that are above. The visually engaging format and the accessible length are ideal for readers.”

“Behold and belong! While the world is distracting and being distracted to death, Aimee Joseph shows us how to be planted securely in our life in Christ. You Are Secure helps us ponder important questions about our identity and the relationships that define us. You are loved with an everlasting love, and you are held in God's everlasting arms.”

“The paradoxical message of our fallen world is that you are enough and yet you don’t have enough. Colossians encourages us with the timeless truth that only Jesus Christ is enough, and he is for us. In this insightful and illuminating study, Aimee Joseph unpacks truths that have anchored and stabilized weary Christian sojourners for two millennia.”
