This study is an invitation to go all in and all out for Jesus Christ. Jesus didn’t die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous - so our lives should be anything but boring, safe, or routine. Following Jesus isn’t just the adventure of a lifetime; it lasts for all eternity!

If it’s good, it must be God, right? These days the terms of good and God seem synonymous. We believe what’s generally accepted as good must be in line with God’s will. Generosity, humility, justice – good. Selfishness, arrogance, cruelty – evil. The distinction seems pretty straightforward. But is that all there is to it? If good is so obvious, why does the Bible say that we need discernment to recognize it? This study isn’t another self-help message. This study will do more than ask you to change your behavior. It will empower you to engage with God on a level that will change every aspect of your life.

Learn about the Holy Spirit – His personality, His power, and how you can get to know Him better. The study helps you grow closer to the eternal God who is passionately in love with you.

Tozer was an avid follower of Christ who lived and studied the Scripture as he pursued God.

The story begins in Phillipi, where Paul introduces three individuals that were all enslaved by the kind of things we often choose over the Gospel. Their lives portray dysfunction and emptiness, but are totally transformed by the Gospel. True joy and Christ’s love begin to live within them, giving them a life of purpose. In fact, Paul himself was enslaved and then by God’s grace and mercy he could pen these popular and profound words: To live is Christ and to die is gain / I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In this, one of the most intimate of Paul’s letters, he paints a beautiful picture of what it is to be a mature Christian.

The crooked punctuation mark at the end of a sentence speaks of curiosity, interest, and perhaps doubt. A question is an invitation to vulnerability, to intimacy. The Bible does not shy away from such an invite. Over and over, we see the people of God asking questions of their Creator. We also see the God of the universe asking questions of His creation. Beth Moore uses questions from Scripture to lead you into intimacy with the One who knows you best. Learn to dig into the Word, to respond to the questions of God, and to bring your questions before Him. Let the crooked punctuation mark be the map that points you into a closer relationship with the Father.

Your children are not kids anymore. They are grown - some are out of the house, and perhaps they even have families of their own. The problem is that they are struggling with faith.

You need some breathing room. With a jam-packed life, what’s missing is space – space for God to speak, room for you to hear.

God can use your weakness. Do you feel overwhelmed? Inexperienced? Intimidated? Insufficient? Too old? Too young? Too invisible? Too afraid?

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you. A cunning, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you – your emotions, your mind, your family, your future.

This study is more than just a biblical description of the believer’s inventory. It is an action plan for putting on your armor and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory against the enemy. Yes. A strategy.

Family. We all have one. While some of us loved our “growin’ up” years, others of us couldn’t wait to move out and start fresh.

Standing at the altar, we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like. The problem is that this picture of marriage results in expectations that we unload on our spouse. The weight of these expectations will rob your marriage of love and joy. As a spouse, you never feel like you measure up and you never feel like you are good enough. So what are you to do with your expectations? You can’t deny them, because most expectations started out as God-given desires. You must learn to transform your expectations and look to God if you are to experience marriage as it was designed.

Being a mom is hard. As much as women desire to be mothers, sometimes the challenges and circumstances are not what they ever expected.

This study helps each mom discover (or remember) that she is the mom God chose for her children, God is working through her life, and she is a beautiful mom.

When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan, we assume our lives should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our own ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try. Join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal and applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.

All women experience these “unglued” feelings at times, often when they least expect it. These emotions are not wrong, in fact, they are God-given. However, God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it!

Do you want to experience life in extraordinary ways? Then see what happens when you say yes to God! Lysa TerKeurst paints an inspiring picture of the great path He has for you.

Christians often misunderstand the purpose of Hebrews 11. It is frequently referred to as a list of legends or a hall of fame for faithful saints. But when you start to read this little chapter, you realize the great figures of the Bible were just like you and me. They were weak and had messy lives. But they held onto and lived by faith in the one true hero: the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ. God accomplishes great things through those who have faith.

If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you. This means that you have access to all of His supernatural gifts and you, too, can prophesy!

Dr. Wood’s ability to express orthodox Pentecostal theology in creative and refreshing ways is unique.

Welcome to a journey that will challenge you – and change you. A journey that will expand – and very likely redefine – your understanding of the person, teachings, and the life of Jesus Christ. One that will lead you beyond familiar images of Christ to discover Jesus as you’ve never known him: radical, compelling, compassionate, bold, incisive, and ultimately satisfying.
