Have you ever felt in your gut that you were mistreated, marginalized, alone, sabotaged? Your feelings may be unveiling adversity. Adversity can be a show stopper that negatively impacts one's outlook on life and self-confidence. It is a given fact that individuals succumb to the pressures of adversity due to lack of guidance on how to positively respond mentally or spiritually. Like Crabs in a Barrel helps to expose some avenues of adversity and provides the guidance on how to handle adversities that you might meet in the workplace, community, or home so that you can overcome. Adversity takes many forms and usually rears its head when you are perceived to be progressing or having the potential to progress. Hence, the cliché that speaks to it being lonely at the top.

God through His Words helps us to identify and respond to adversity as well as teaches us how to avoid partaking in creating adversity
