God and Race
A Guide to Moving Beyond Black Fists and White Knuckles
by John Siebeling
read by John Siebeling, Wayne Francis
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, God and Race includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
A recent Pew Research study discovered that 6 out of 10 adults in America believe racial tension is a major problem in this country-and one that is only growing worse. Today, people across the nation are dealing with tensions between blacks and whites, and often this tension breaks out into violence. People are talking about the issue; but sadly, the church has been reluctant to engage in the discussion.
In God and Race, pastors Wayne Francis and John Siebling seek to provide a non-threatening means for pastors, church leaders, and churchgoers to start to dialogue about this important issue. Wayne Francis, lead pastor of The Life Church in New York, speaks to the "Black Fist" part, showing how the racism that blacks have faced have led to many solidarity movements that have served to increase racial tensions in our country. John Siebling, lead pastor of The Life Church in Memphis, Tennessee, speaks to the "White Knuckles" part, showing how many whites today are "white-knuckling" it to try and hold on to old (and wrong) ways of thinking... or are just tensing up when approached with the issue and hoping that it will just go away.
In this study (study guide sold separately), Wayne and John show how neither black fists or white knuckles are the answer to the problem, but that what is needed are open hands, open hearts, and open minds. They do this by discussing seven key statements that they believe the church needs to acknowledge today:
• Racism is a problem
• The gospel is the solution
• It's more than just a spiritual problem
• It's complicated
• White people must understand and acknowledge the sin of slavery and mistreatment of black people
• Black people in turn have to forgive white people of previous and present injustices, while also not harboring hatred and racism toward white people
• Unless we make a solid intentional choice to connect, understand, reach, and love one another, we will remain divided
In the Gospels, we see how the crowds came to Jesus because he talked about real issues and was not afraid to engage in the important issues of his day. In the church of today, we need to be doing the same, for it is only by recognizing, addressing, and openly dialoguing about the racial tension in America that we can together begin to work toward real solutions. Wayne and John have no presumption in this series that they are going to solve the issue. Rather, their goal is to have churches follow their example and start the conversion in their congregations.

Redeemed
Turning Brokenness into Something Beautiful
by Randy Phillips
read by Jeremy Affeldt
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
God never designed us to just figure things out on their own. When Jesus came to earth to start a revolution, he did so by gathering a small band of ordinary men around him. These men had unique backgrounds, diverse occupations, and individual personalities. Jesus orchestrated learning environments as they worked alongside each other that changed them into the most powerful transformative community in the history of the word. Together, they went from self-centered individuals to united powerhouses.
The goal of the CORE studies is set men on a similar journey that will transform them their group into this type of community. Each study features five real-life stories of men who have faced real-life challenges and discovered transformation, redemption, restoration, purpose, and identity. These stories serve as a catalyst for men to start being real about their own stories and realize they are not alone in the struggle. In turn, this opens them up to getting the encouragement necessary to engage in life proactively.
There has never been a more critical need to equip men with the tools to win the battles over their hearts and futures. CORE gives them the ability to create spaces where they can show up as they are without judgment, be open about their struggles, and find freedom to discover who God says they are. They will be invited to step out of shame and isolation and encouraged to step into their God-given purpose.
This five-session study features an introduction from Jeremy Affeldt and stories featuring well-known speakers on the topics of calling, redemption, spiritual adoption, restoration, and purpose.

No More Holding Back
Emboldening Women to Move Past Barriers, See Their Worth, and Serve God Everywhere
by Kat Armstrong
read by Kat Armstrong
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
"Don't be afraid. Just give me your everything."
When Jesus told us to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength (Mark 12:30), did he mean it one way for men and another way for women?
Through heartfelt biblical teaching, Kat Armstrong challenges the way our church culture has limited the terms of Jesus' command to the perceived strengths of each gender. She dares to ask and explore what faith and life in general would look like if we broke through the barriers holding us back and lived giving Jesus our ALL.
In this six-session Bible study, Kat offers a fresh perspective of encouragement that aligns with Scripture from beginning to end: "Don't be afraid. Give me your everything." She urges women to wholeheartedly love the lord beyond our heart and soul, as well as with our mind and strength. If you have ever felt challenged or insecure following your dreams, or in your career, or in your personal pursuit of God, this is your study. Dare to answer his invitation to show up daily, holding nothing back.

The God the Savior
Our Freedom in Christ and Our Role in the Restoration of All Things
by Randy Frazee
read by Randy Frazee
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this small-group study series, pastor and author Randy Frazee reveals how the story of the Bible reveals two parallel dramas. First, there is a Lower Story. As finite human beings, we view things from a horizontal perspective. We can't see what is around the bend but must make decisions based on our own intuitions. We struggle to know why certain things happen and why other things don't happen.
But the Bible reveals there is also an Upper Story. This is the story unfolding from God's vertical perspective-from above. Heaven is breaking into our world more than we recognize, and the story of God's seeking love, perpetual grace, and longing for relationship with ordinary people is breathtaking.
The Bible tells us that at the beginning of the Story, God walked with his first children in a beautiful garden... in harmonious relationship. At the end of the Story, he will walk with us again, in a beautiful garden. In the time in between, he calls us to walk with him in every area of life. As we do this, and begin to recognize how closely the Upper Story and Lower story fit together, we will experience his love and grace and be guided by his wisdom. God's story will become our story.
This all-new video study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of 1 Samuel through Malachi. The curriculum also includes an updated study guide with new content and questions adapted from The Story Study Guide, The Heart of the Story, and Exploring the Story by Randy Frazee.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
In the summer of 1969, Buzz Aldrin had a mission. His goal was to fly 240 million miles from earth and, along with fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong, be the first to walk on the moon. But, moments before that historic step, Aldrin poured a specially prepared drink into a cup and partook of a sacred celebration that had first occurred two thousand years before.
The lunar Last Supper was full of meaning, just as it had been when Jesus himself took of the elements and acknowledged his calling and purpose. But, the significance didn't end there. Today, as we remember the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, followed by his resurrection, we are reminded that what seemed to be an end became the genesis of everything-including the rescue and restoration of anyone who calls on Jesus' name.
In this six-session study, bestselling author and pastor Levi Lusko journeys back in time and forward in hope, using the 1969 lunar mission as an analogy of the metamorphosis that was unleashed by the man from Galilee. Along the way, he uncovers the remarkable "seven statements" that Jesus made from the cross-words that provide us everything we need in the chaos of our world to conquer judgment, persecution, anxiety, and pain.

In a time when societal disruptions are rampant-have you wanted to cut and run?
Have you considered your own gender versus the opposite in a defensive way?
If we are honest, we all have. And that truth is where we begin to be set free. We are only as strong as our understanding of our differences-and they are many and varied and begin with each our fingerprint. But we were not created alone, or separately. We were in fact created of and from and in the image of the same God. Until God created man AND woman, he called everything he created 'good.' When he saw us together, he declared, "It is VERY good" Gen 1:1-31.
So how then, in a current state of division at every intersection of life, do we return to the flourishing of men and women together as originally intended?
Author, activist, and headlining international speaker Danielle Strickland will guide us through our differences and mutuality with a biblical lens and foundation. She will teach and inspire us to face the core challenge that drives all division-FEAR-and to change the story of our culture. We will transform and become examples of equality and equity as in the Garden of Eden where we were made better, together.

Awaken to the Call God Has for Your Life
You were made for more than a life of holy discontent - more than the frustrating sense of sitting on the sidelines of your own life's purpose. From the beginning, Jesus has beckoned us out of passivity and into a high-stakes adventure with hearts fully alive, lives fully engaged, and the courage needed for both.
With a heart-stirring message and compelling stories, founder of Jesus Culture and pastor Banning Liebscher will equip you with practical guidance to be and do all that God has called you to. The Three-Mile Walk Bible study draws from the biblical story of Jonathan who, after a treacherous three-mile hike, boldly stepped into battle and watched God work a stunning victory in the midst of impossible odds. Likewise, Liebscher presents the three key attributes you need to fully engage your mission - courage, holiness, and faith.
You are meant to change the world. It's going to be tough, surprising, and more fulfilling than you can imagine. You just need the courage to rise up and walk it out.

Spiritual Warfare Is Real
How the Power of Jesus Defeats the Attacks of Our Enemy

Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Spiritual Warfare Is Real includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
"Finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" (Ephesians 6:10). Paul penned these words to a group of believers who endured severe persecution for their faith. Each day, they were confronted with new attacks from their spiritual enemy against their faith in Christ, their love for one another, their calling as God's ambassadors in the world, and in their heavenly Father. So, Paul encouraged them-each day-to stand strong and "put on the full armor of God" so they could take their stand "against the devil's schemes" (verse 11).
Jesus described the nature of this enemy when He said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy." But He also promised, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10). Today, the enemy has been seeking to steal much from God's followers. For this reason, we need to "suit up" and make sure we are equipping each piece of God's armor-truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, prayer-so that we can see through Satan's schemes, stand strong in God's power, and repeal the enemy attacks.
In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author Jim Cymbala will guide participants on how to recognize they are in a spiritual war, understand the enemy's plots against them, and develop practical strategies for fighting back. He will reveal that as believers in Christ, we have been given everything we need to stand strong and take the fight to the enemy. As we do, we will recognize-in the words of the apostle Paul-that God "gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT).

Kasey takes the pressure off of outing our past, revealing God as the perfecter of everything that brings us shame or pain. God does not care if we are the reason for or the recipient of our messes—he wants us to understand the magnitude of receiving his grace and trust him to transform our pain into something glorious!

Truth Plus Love: The Jesus Way to Influence
by Matt Brown

Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Truth Plus Love includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and love.
Evangelist Matt Brown draws on the example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their love. In the first half of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he issued no imperative commands except to "remember." Paul did not instruct the believers to do anything new but only to remember the gospel they had received. But in the second half of his letter, he issued forty imperative commands, instructing them to "[speak] the truth in love [and] grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ" (Ephesians 4:15 esv).
Truth Plus Love is the formula for transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ. It begins as we seek to develop the fruit of the Spirit in our lives: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Galatians 5:22—23 esv). As the Holy Spirit develops these traits within us, it transforms our character and makes us appealing ambassadors for Christ. We naturally begin to draw others to love of Christ within us... and to the truth found in God's Word.

Unleashed: Audio Bible Studies
Releasing God's Glorious Kingdom in and Through You
by Tony Evans
read by Tony Evans
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In Unleashed, bestselling author and pastor Dr. Evans uncovers what is needed in our lives for us to unleash the power that God has placed within us and bring His Kingdom to this world. All too often, we feel paralyzed by our situation, unsure of how to move forward, and stuck in habits and patterns that we can't seem to break. We don't recognize the wisdom and authority that God has given to us and are unwilling to give up our comfortable lifestyle to sacrifice anything for His Kingdom. As a result, we tend to lead apathetic, weak, and disengaged lives as followers of Christ.
God wants so much more for us! He has given us the authority and the ability to truly be victorious in this life. But attaining that power will mean overcoming certain roadblocks the enemy puts in our path to discourse and distract us from our purpose. The key to unleashing God's power is thus learning how to identify these roadblocks and implement spiritual strategies to overcome them. This is the goal of the Unleashed Bible Study-to show believers how to not merely survive but thrive in this life.
Sessions include:
• Unleashing Kingdom Praise and Truth
• Unleashing Kingdom Power and Authority
• Unleashing Kingdom Purpose and Commitment
• Unleashing Kingdom Unity and Pursuit

Dream Big
Know What You Want, Why You Want It, and What You're Going to Do About It
by Bob Goff
read by Bob Goff
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
At some point, we resign ourselves to living by the scripts and rhythms established by other people. Perhaps it's a parent. Maybe it's a pastor or a boss or a teacher. Maybe it's a mortgage or wedding date or that next pay raise. Wherever the source, today there is an ocean full of people living on the life rafts of what they were expected to do. If we look at the mirror, we might see ourselves on that life raft as well.
In this five-session study, bestselling author Bob Goff dares to ask the questions: What would you do if opinion, reason, or probability were no objects? What do you deeply desire to do even if it scares you to the marrow of your bones? What were you meant to do even if no other person thinks you should? He shares stories from the Bible that show how God called certain individuals to follow him-regardless of their lack of "qualifications"-and how those people changed the world when they dared to follow God's dreams for their lives. In the same way, God is calling us to step into the version of our lives that he intended for us before others told us it was impossible and once again dream big.
If anyone knows how to live life to the fullest, it is Bob Goff. He has already dazzled readers and audiences with his crazy, audacious, live-out-loud approach and stories told in Love Does and Everybody, Always. Yet as unique as Bob might seem, he had to make his own choice to dream big. In this study, he will take participants on this journey he has already traveled and help them to rediscover the dreams God has for them and turn them into reality.

Acts
by Randy Frazee

Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
YOU CAN BECOME PART OF GOD'S AMAZING REVOLUTION!
When you put your faith in Jesus, you become a member of the amazing family of God. You come into a place where you are known, loved, accepted... and never alone. But you also become part of a revolution that shook the foundations of society when the early church burst onto the scene-a revolution that still changes lives and even societies today.
In this six-week audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee will guide you through this "revolution of faith." You will trace the unlikely growth of the movement, as recorded in the book of Acts, from a marginalized man in Nazareth (Jesus), to twelve marginalized men from Galilee (the disciples), to the regions of Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth-encompassing some 2.4 billion followers of Jesus today.
If you are a follower of Jesus, you are part of this revolution... a revolution in which you are called to serve alongside your family in Christ and share God's love with the world.
The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God's Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study. As you do, you will gain an understanding of the background and culture of the book, insights into key passages that you might have overlooked before, and clear takeaways that you can apply today to your life.

Who Needs Christmas
by Andy Stanley
read by Andy Stanley
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
The details of the Christmas story are amazing... and can seem a bit unbelievable. There is the angelic announcement to Mary that she will give birth to the Messiah. The dream from God that convinces Joseph to take Jesus as his own son. The angelic host who announces Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The madness of a king who tried to put an end to Jesus' life.
The narrative of Jesus' birth is miraculous. But as pastor Andy Stanley explores in this four-session study, when you look at all the events in the Old Testament leading up to this point in time, the unbelievable story of Christmas becomes quite remarkable.
It was only "when the set time had fully come" that God sent Jesus into the world "that we might receive adoption to sonship" (Galatians 4:4-5). God sent Jesus to do what laws and regulations, judges and prophets, and exile and punishment could not accomplish. He sent Jesus not merely to deliver us from the penalty and consequences of our sin, but to actually break the power of the enemy and free us from our slavery to sin.
Through Christmas, we are reminded that even when it seems God is silent, he is always working. God sent Jesus not simply to be the Savior of the world but to be the Savior in our world. Through Christmas, we are reminded that God always keeps his promises to us.
Sessions include:
• The Story Behind the Story (Genesis 12:3)
• The Author of Life (Acts 3:15)
• The Message of Christmas (Matthew 1:21)
• Ready or not... He Is Coming (Luke 1:37)

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
In this small-group study series, pastor and author Randy Frazee reveals how the story of the Bible reveals two parallel dramas. First, there is a Lower Story. As finite human beings, we view things from a horizontal perspective. We can't see what is around the bend but must make decisions based on our own intuitions. We struggle to know why certain things happen and why other things don't happen.
But the Bible reveals there is also an Upper Story. This is the story unfolding from God's vertical perspective-from above. Heaven is breaking into our world more than we recognize, and the story of God's seeking love, perpetual grace, and longing for relationship with ordinary people is breathtaking.
The Bible tells us that at the beginning of the Story, God walked with his first children in a beautiful garden... in harmonious relationship. At the end of the Story, he will walk with us again, in a beautiful garden. In the time in between, he calls us to walk with him in every area of life. As we do this, and begin to recognize how closely the Upper Story and Lower story fit together, we will experience his love and grace and be guided by his wisdom. God's story will become our story.
This all-new video study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of Genesis through Ruth.

When Making Others Happy Is Making You Miserable
How to Break the Pattern of People Pleasing and Confidently Live Your Life
by Karen Ehman

Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Women are being pulled in three directions. They sense the desire to pursue a career or perhaps a home-based business, utilizing their God-given talents and abilities and in keeping with their interests. Many long to be married and to transform into the biblical wife God intended them to be, although they are often uncertain just what that actually looks like. Some desire to be a mother who has her priorities straight and is serving her family whole-heartedly without neglect. The question is... can she do it all?
In these six sessions bestselling author Karen Ehman guides women through answering the particular call that God has on their individual life. If they could learn to get their marching orders from Him rather than listening to the world or trying to replicate the lifestyle of another mom or group of moms, they could go forth in confidence knowing that they are fulfilling the call He has placed on their life. Could that mean they make some money at home or in the workforce? Could they be a full-time at-home mom with babies and small children? Could they homeschool? Could their kids attend a traditional school? Could they help run their husband's business? The answer to all of the above questions is yes!!! Women can have it all, just not always all at the same time! It is all about seasons and strategic selections. And it is all about their bottom line in life which should be to give glory to God-meaning to make HIM famous by living a life that gives those around them an accurate picture of just who God is so that others, in turn, will desire a relationship with Him as well.

The Abide Bible Course
Five Practices to Help You Engage with God Through Scripture
by Phil Collins
read by Phil Collins, Randy Frazee
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Jesus instructed his followers, "Abide in Me.. as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me" (John 14:4 NKJV). We were created to abide with God. Our heavenly Father, through his very nature, is relational. He has designed us to walk with him in an intimate relationship.
Followers of Christ abide with him the way a branch dwells on a vine-in a life-sustaining connection. We consume his Word through Scripture engagement and, as we do so, learn God's love and his designs for us. But often the difficulty is where to start and how to form this unique connection with our heavenly Father. After all, interacting with God is different than interacting with other humans on earth. Furthermore, one style of experiencing this type of relationship with God does not fit all. We each have unique ways that appeal to us of meeting with God.
The Abide Bible Course is designed to expose participants to different methods of interacting with God that Christ-followers have pursued throughout the ages. Each of these practices is firmly grounded in encountering God through Scripture. This is because the Bible is the authoritative "word" of God-the story that He provided so we can meet, know, love, and obey Him. Scripture gives us access to the very heart and mind of God. Keeping this in mind, participants in the course will explore the following methods of engaging with Scripture:
• Contemplate: Participants learn a practice in the church known as lectio divina, which involves reading, meditating on, and praying through a passage. This practice allows them to reflect more deeply on specific passages, take time to experience God's presence, and pray according to what they discover.
• Journal: Participants are guided on how to record their thoughts and feelings in response to a passage from the Bible. This practice allows them to open themselves to God's voice as they ponder the text.
• Identify: Participants follow a method recommended by Ignatius in which they place themselves within a biblical narrative or text. This practice allows them to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the event.
• Pray: Participants are encouraged to follow another long-standing tradition in the church by praying back a particular passage of Scripture to God. This practice allows them to personalize the text for their own unique situation and gain language for the thoughts and emotions they want to express to the Lord.
• Picture: Participants examine a particular work of famous art-paintings, drawings, sculptures-that are based on a text or theme in the Bible and record their responses. This practice enables them to see the events of the biblical text in a different way than they might have previously considered it.

Lysa TerKeurst admits that she, like most women, has experiences where others bump into her "happy" causing her to come emotionally unglued. What do we often do with our raw emotions? We stuff, we explode, or react somewhere in between. Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us? Her answer is yes, and in her usual inspiring and practical way, Lysa shows you how.
Filled with gut-honest personal examples and Biblical teaching, Unglued will equip you to know with confidence how to:
• Resolve conflict in your important relationships
• Find peace in your most difficult relationships as you learn to be honest but kind when offended
• Identify what type of reactor you are and how to significantly improve your communication
• Respond with no regrets by managing your tendencies to stuff, explode or react somewhere in between
• And how to gain a deep sense of calm by responding to situations out of your control without acting out of control
Sessions include:
• Grace for the Unglued
• Freedom for the Unglued
• Four Kinds of Unglued
• A Procedure Manual for the Unglued
• Lingering Words for the Unglued
• Imperfect Progress for the Unglued

Threaded: Audio Bible Studies
Unraveling Our Story Through God's Covenants
by Tara Beth Leach
read by Tara Beth Leach
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Threaded is an inclusive, engaging, and thought-provoking study that appeals to a wide range of Christians, fostering both individual and collective growth in understanding the Bible's overarching narrative of God's redemption. Our story is found in the threads of God's covenantal promises.
“Threaded: Unraveling Our Story Through God's Covenants” is a transformative study focusing on unraveling the intricate tapestry of God's promises throughout the Bible. This study aims to illuminate how each covenant, from Noah to the New Covenant, acts as a vital thread leading to the ultimate revelation of Jesus Christ.
The series begins by setting a foundation for understanding what a covenant is in the Biblical context, a sacred, binding promise between God and His people. This serves as a gateway to explore the depth and significance of these divine agreements and their impact on both the ancient world and contemporary Christian life. The methodology of this study is interactive and reflective, encouraging participants to engage with Scripture, theological insights, and personal application. Each session includes discussions, activities, and reflection questions designed to foster a deeper understanding and personal connection to the material. Participants are encouraged to explore how these ancient promises affect their faith journey and understanding of God's narrative.
In concluding the study, "Threaded: The Covenants" brings participants to a place of reflection on the personal and communal implications of these divine promises. It encourages an appreciation for our role in God's ongoing redemptive story and a deeper understanding of the Bible as a unified narrative, not just a collection of isolated stories. The study closes with a call to see our lives and faith through the lens of God's covenantal promises, inspiring a commitment to live in a way that reflects the grace and truth found in Jesus Christ.

Love Does: Audio Bible Studies
Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World
by Bob Goff
read by Bob Goff
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Love isn't a feeling. It's an activity. It's something you do. And participating in the act of love is the secret to understanding God's love-the secret to a life well lived.
Building on the foundation of the New York Times bestseller, Love Does, the Love Does video study (guide sold separately) is a case study in love done-a love that's practical, functional, active. Not a "love" that has all the right answers. Not a "love" with ulterior motives. Not a "love" that's all talk or paralyzed by doubt. But a radically alive love that's an intentional participation in God's world.
How is that kind of love done?
The how is what this study is about. Real growth happens when you learn how to tap into the empowering, energizing love of God. Using it fills you. Risking it secures you. Giving it satisfies you.
Each of the five sessions in the Love Does video study explores a different aspect of God's active love through Bob Goff's teachings and stories:
• I'm With You - we've been given the invitation to love. Taking it seriously is where life meets faith.
• Free to Fail - exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does with it.
• Audacious Love - understanding why receiving love is essential to giving love.
• Be Not Afraid - chasing out the anxieties that keep us from acting and living the life that Jesus has called us to.
• Follow Me - delving into how to bring our passions and plans together and bind them to God's plan.
This study guide provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called "Putting Love into Action," which gives you the opportunity to put the principles you have learned into real-life practice.
It's time to step off the ledge and fall into God's immeasurable love.
Sessions include:
• I'm With You (8:00)
• Free to Fail (14:00)
• Audacious Love (8:00)
• Be Not Afraid (15:00)
• Follow Me (11:00)

by Clay Scroggins
read by Clay Scroggins
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Are you letting your lack of authority paralyze you?
One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders lead with or without the authority and learn to unleash their influence wherever they are.
Clay Scroggins knows all about this. His former boss, Andy Stanley, explains: "Clay was making a difference at North Point Community Church long before he was in charge of anything significant. Everything he touched got bigger and better whether he was in charge of it or not. In this study, Clay shares everything he learned about leading beyond his title, position, and authority. It's amazing." ~ Andy Stanley
In this study you will:
• Learn to leverage influence instead of authority
• Create a game plan for leading yourself well
• Change the energy of your team by choosing positivity
