You're Not Finished: Using Stories of Survival to Save Lives

You're Not Finished: Using Stories of Survival to Save Lives is an 8-day devotional for anyone who needs inspiration and encouragement in the midst of mental distress and/or suicidal ideation. Through stories from the Bible, author and founder of You're Not Finished Brittany Franklin shares how the Word demonstrates God's love and comfort to His people as they have experienced extreme hardship and mental anguish. 

Just as He comforted those who are highlighted in this devotional, He can and will do the same for you. Just as God was not finished with them, He is not finished with you. 

Printed spiral-bound versions will be available on Lulu soon!

IMPORTANT 2025 UPDATE:

A PDF stamp has been added, which means Gumroad processes the file, and that can take several seconds to minutes depending on its size. During this time, you won't have instant access to the PDF. Once the stamping is complete, you will receive a download link via email.

Additionally, the devotional has been revised to update YNF's contact information, address, and social media handle. Note pages have been added as well for journaling.

**Spam purchases will be flagged. One download per email - if downloaded multiple times from the same or similar email, your access will be revoked.

Brittany Franklin is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University and the founder of You're Not Finished® (YNF), a podcast, website, and organization that provides mental health support, encouragement, and resources. For more information, visit www.yourenotfinished.com.

About YNF

You’re Not Finished® was created in 2012 to provide mental health resources and personal stories of hope, survival, and overcoming obstacles so that you can know that you are not alone… that you are not your problems… that your own personal story continues, and that you are not finished in this life. The stories you read on the site are true testimonies of people living with or overcoming mental health disorders and suicidal ideation. They are living proof that it does it better.

On March 30, 2021, the 1st episode of the YNF podcast was published! New episodes will be released monthly. Listen to the latest episodes of the cast here on Spotify or on your favorite streaming platform!

The Website & Podcast

There are several mental health/self-care websites and podcasts in the market that inspire and encourage people to better their mental health. However, many of these entities do not integrate the Christian faith, seek to address and remove stigma within Christian organizations, nor do they offer tangible and practical resources directly to marginalized and underserved individuals in need (regardless of religious affiliation, if any). Listeners do not have to subscribe to Christianity in order to benefit from the information and resources provided. Regardless of perceived and actual man-made stereotypes, limitations, and stigma, YNF seeks to encourage all who read the blogs and stories on the website as well as listen to podcasts via various streaming platforms. 

Stories

You’re Not Finished® believes that one of the best ways to decrease and eventually end mental health stigma is to provide the opportunity for people to share their stories/testimonies. These stories often provide encouragement for those who read them, & help others realize they are not alone. If you want to share your story, send an email to brittany@yourenotfinished.com or contact through the site! 

Anonymous submissions are welcome.
