Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Share the Dream is a six-session audio study series based on the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Throughout this series, co-hosted by Chris Broussard and Matt Daniels, you will look at six biblical principles that shaped Dr. King's life and motivated him to speak out on behalf of African-Americans in the Civil Rights Movement: love, conscience, freedom, justice, perseverance, and hope.
The best way to Share the Dream is to follow in Dr. King's footsteps and embrace the vision, both individually and collectively with the people of God, for which he died. You can help a new generation better understand... live... experience... and ultimately form a community around the unifying principles at the heart of the dream to which Dr. King dedicated his life.

Hagar
In the Face of Rejection, God Says I'm Significant
by Jada Edwards
read by Jada Edwards, Nicole Johnson
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, this study 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.
The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?
Hagar's story, found in Genesis 16, is a story of cultural victimization. She was betrayed, abandoned, and scorned. Her response? She did what most of us would do when deeply hurt by someone we trust—she ran away. She got defensive. She retreated to a place where she felt safe. She felt justified in her anger and hurt. But deep in her core was a woman who longed to be seen and hoped for redemption.
This Bible study will take you through Hagar's story as she learns from hurt and heartache that what is unresolved is not unseen by God. The lack of finality in Hagar's story teaches us to trust God with the ending—believing he sees us and he knows.
Sessions include:
• Exposing the Lie of Shame (20:00)
• Rejected to Accepted (20:00)

Why Jesus Cares More About Relationship Than Perfection
by Rich Wilkerson Jr.
read by Rich Wilkerson
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this five-session audio Bible study, pastor and author Rich Wilkerson, Jr. reveals how Jesus was referred to as a "friend of tax collectors and sinners" (Luke 7:34). In the religious leaders' minds this was one of the greatest indictments imaginable, but for Jesus it was a sign of success because it was the very definition of his mission. Rich shows that by following Jesus' example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did.

Praying with Passion, Confidence, and Authority
by John Eldredge
read by John Eldredge
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the "right" way.
We ask ourselves:
• How do I listen for God?
• How do I pray for healing?
• How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?
• How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin?
• How do I pray for protection?
• How do I pray for my lost friends and family?
In this eight-session study, bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can't sense He hears us-or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstance-that we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority.
Sessions include:
• There Is a Way Things Work
• The Cry of the Heart
• The Prayer of Intervention
• The Prayer of Consecration
• Listening Prayer
• Warfare Prayer
• Healing Prayer

Listen, Love, Repeat Bible Study
Other-Centered Living in a Self-Centered World
by Karen Ehman
read by Karen Ehman
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this six-session Bible study, Karen Ehman, New York Times bestselling author of Keep it Shut, helps you rediscover the life-changing joy that comes from putting others first. In a culture that tells us a me-first, you-second way of living is the key to happiness, Ehman explains that the key to moving forward in almost every facet of your life is to embrace backward living.
Becoming a person who thinks about others first takes effort. It requires you to live alert. To be on the lookout in conversations for "heart drops"-hints of kindness you might grant to the person right in front of you, right where they are.
But it is worth it.
Listen, Love, Repeat gives you both the encouragement and practical, daily ways you can reach out to others with both planned and random acts of kindness. Topics include loving your family and friends, encouraging coworkers, reaching out to the lonely, blessing the "necessary people" who help you get life done every day but often go unnoticed, and many others who could use an act of thoughtfulness. An additional focus on modeling for your children a lifestyle that listens and loves is accompanied by doable ideas for you and for your family.
Sessions include:
• Finding Your Big "Why?" (23:00)

Who Needs Christmas Bible Study
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)

Hidden Bible Study
The Beauty and Bounty of a Concealed Life
by Allison Allen
read by Allison Allen
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
What would your life feel like if the pressure valve to be known and seen was finally released? What if there's a different way of living altogether-one that leads to a unique beauty and bounty, one where we're firmly planted in Kingdom values?
Unveiling seven hidden characters in Scripture, we will mine their lives for the unique lessons of the concealed life, understanding that we are often concealed so that His glory might be revealed. Rather than fixating on the number of likes our posts receive or how many online followers we have, being hidden in Christ means living out of the truth of Who holds our hearts, hidden and secure. When God sees us, it doesn't really matter who else does or doesn't.
"...your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3b, CSB). What an astounding promise! In a world where excellence is equated to exposure, and legacy is equated to likes, what does it mean to pursue a hidden life? God's Word offers us an astoundingly counter-cultural way of existing-one without the pressure to perform or make a platform. While there's nothing inherently wrong about exposure, we often confuse God's favor with famousness.
Living a concealed life (whether known by many or by none) is about resetting our motivations and thoughts. Excavating multiple concealed characters in God's Grand Narrative (including the Sons of Korah, Baruch, Ichabod, Huldah, the daughters of Shallum, Jerushua, and Jael), we'll explore the power and purpose of hiddenness.
We will also explore hiddenness throughout Scripture:
• Why does God hide Himself? (Isaiah 45:5)
• Why is it God's glory to conceal a matter? (Proverbs 25:2)
• Why do secret things belong to the Lord? (Deuteronomy 29:29)
• What's the significance of Jesus' "social hiddenness"? Why did Jesus often heal people and instruct them to "tell no one" (Matthew; Isaiah)?
• What might we learn about God's hiddenness from the 400-year silence between Malachi and Matthew?

Signs and Secrets of the Messiah Bible Study
A Fresh Look at the Miracles of Jesus
by Rabbi Jason Sobel
read by Rabbi Jason Sobel
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Are you or someone you love desperate for a miracle-a sign that God knows about your situation and is willing, ready, and available to do something about it? As witnessed through Scripture, the God who was and is and is to come has been performing miracles from the beginning of time. So, you can trust that Jesus wants to do something miraculous in your life today!
In Signs and Secrets of the Messiah, bestselling author and teacher Rabbi Jason Sobel dives deep into Scripture, biblical culture, and ancient texts to help you better understand the truths and the power behind God's miracles and to increase your faith that Jesus can perform miracles in your life. By taking a deeper look at Jesus' miracles, he reveals promises for all Christ followers based on miracles throughout Scripture:
• Jesus takes the ordinary and turns it into something extraordinary, because He wants you to live out of His overflow (He turned water into wine).
• Jesus wants to renew you so that He can do something new in you (He revealed to Nicodemus the miracle of rebirth).
• You can stop wandering aimlessly or feeling stuck in your current situation, but instead experience abundant life and healing (He healed the man at the Pool of Bethesda).
• God wants to bless you abundantly so you, in turn, can bless others and sow into His kingdom (Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish).
As you go on this journey with Rabbi Jason, a Messianic Jew, he is praying that God will lead you to new insights and breakthroughs in your life. And as God reveals Himself to you in a fresh and powerful way, you will be filled with a sense of His presence and shalom.

Christmas. It comes the same time every year. We have plenty of time to anticipate it. Or, in some cases, dread it. And, before we know it, it's gone as quickly as it came, leaving us wondering, What's it all for? Is there really hope for today in the story of a baby born so long ago?
The story of Christmas is one of waiting. It is a story of how the people of Israel waited years and years for the promised Messiah to arrive. But the story of Christmas is also one that reveals how God works during seasons of waiting-times in which he is developing us to carry out his plans in our lives.
In “Waiting Here for You,” bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio will lead you through you through the season of Advent and show how your waiting is never wasted when you are waiting on God.

According to Karen Ehman, popular author and speaker with Proverbs 31 Ministries, and Ruth Schwenk, of www.thebettermom.com, it's time to stop the "Mommy Wars."
Today's wives and mothers have been hoodwinked; convinced that serving their family is a subservient and antiquated role. Because of culture, family, friends, or lack of biblical teaching, many moms miss how valuable and powerful their calling really is. Some have bought into the pressure to be "Supermom." Others have believed the myth that they can "do it all" and do it perfectly.
This six-session study will encourage and inspire women to embrace their roles as mothers wholeheartedly yet realistically, whether they work outside the home, have a home business, or are stay-at-home moms. Mothers will find a fresh new vision for an age-old calling as they tackle the challenges and embrace the blessings of motherhood.

In this six-session study, Judah Smith, bestselling author of Jesus Is_____, asks a surprisingly different question from the usual "How are you?"-but this is the question Judah chooses to ask his friends, because he knows the health of the soul is too often overlooked in the busyness of everyday life.
In the rush of living moment to moment, many of us find ourselves simply surviving, struggling daily with frustration, restlessness, boredom, and ever-fleeting joy. But if we would pause, we'd find the things that matter most in life-stability, peace, hope, love-are rooted in the health of what Judah calls the "inside you."
Judah shares his own mistakes and foibles to help you find your way through the emotional roller coasters of life and discover the soul-healing essentials of rest, responsibility, restraint, and relationships. This is an invitation to find lasting satisfaction by bringing your feelings into alignment with God's truth, moving beyond surviving to thriving, and learning how to live each day with eternal significance.

This Bible study will take you through Rahab's story as she trusted God's final word about her worth above society's. You will learn how to shed unhelpful labels and fears, and instead revel in God's unconditional love and acceptance of you - just as you are. You can be free from shame and doubt.

The women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?
Naomi's story, found in the book of Ruth, is a story of lost identity. She lost her husband and her sons, which in her culture left her completely without a home or a means to support herself. She was a Hebrew woman in Moabite territory, alone among strangers. She reacted by letting her circumstances define her. But even in her angry, fearful, rather dramatic season of feeling like the victim, God kept showing his faithfulness.
This Bible study will take you through Naomi's journey from comfort and security to despair and bitterness, from hopeless drifting to faithful obedience, and from loss to redemption in one short lifetime. We'll learn that when we go through trauma, loss, and hardship, it's normal to feel Just. So. Done. Yet God remains close. He is not done. He can and will redeem even in our darkest circumstances.

Unwavering: Audio Bible Studies
Living with Defiant Joy
by Stasi Eldredge
read by Stasi Eldredge
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this six-week study, Unwavering, Stasi Eldredge draws powerful lessons from her book, Defiant Joy, to help us defy, resist, and oppose the powers that threaten to destroy our souls and steal our joy.
For instance, we may be whiplashed by an unexpected crisis. The man controlled by a legion of demons cried out to Jesus, "Why are you interfering with me?" Sometimes, that's just what Jesus does, especially when our great crisis happens in the very place we don't want Jesus messing with. Jesus interferes with us because he wants to restore to us the joy of knowing who we really are.
Or, fear may have gripped us, causing us to bury our dreams. But we are not meant to live in a tomb. Jesus called to Lazarus, "Come out!" and he shed his graveclothes and left his tomb behind. Our callings are needed in the world, they are not to be buried under the burdens of others' demands or judgments.
Sad endings can also make us waver, from loss or hopelessness. When we study the lessons of nature, we can see how the cycle of endings lead to beginnings, and it helps us cultivate a heart of gratitude. Like Joshua at Gilgal, we can set up stones of remembrance to recall God's faithfulness and use times of ending to express thankfulness and unlock joy.
Throughout this study, Stasi teaches us how to remain unwavering in the face of numbing loneliness, unexpected crisis, gripping fear, desolate waiting, sad endings, and hurtful offense. God means for us to have joy - a joy from him that is defiant in the face of this broken world.

He Chose the Nails
Love Is Born, Hope Is Here
by Max Lucado
read by Max Lucado
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.
In this Easter season study, Max will help you:
• Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God.
• Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life.
• Receive the grace of Christ's work for us and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him.
• Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.
Sessions include:
• He Chose to Be One of Us (15:00)
• He Chose to Forgive Us (16:00)

Ten years ago, Hosanna Wong packed her life into suitcases and started traveling the country to talk to people about Jesus. Along the way she discovered lies she had believed that held her back from actually sharing God's love. Lies such as:

• You're not qualified
• It would be best if you waited until everything is perfect
That's how not to save the world. The truth is better.

With honesty and humor, Hosanna will help you:
• Embrace your unique story to naturally talk about Jesus without being weird or pushy

It turns out, you can naturally share God's love in your everyday life. You can fight for those you love, and a world Jesus loves. There is a way for every person you know to realize how valuable they are to God. You've been created for it, equipped for it, and you're ready for it. Let's go!

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.

3:16 Bible Study
The Numbers of Hope
by Max Lucado
read by Max Lucado
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this updated classic, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado unpacks the meaning behind John 3:16, one of the best-known and most-beloved passages in the Bible. This simple verse came out of an unusual conversation that Jesus had under the cover of night with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From the start, Nicodemus made it clear he inhabited a land of good efforts, sincere gestures, and hard work. Give God your best, his philosophy said, and God does the rest. Jesus' response? Your best won't do. Your works don't work. Unless you are born again, you can't even see what God is doing.
Born again. The word born, by definition, implies a passive act. The enwombed child contributes nothing to the delivery. Postpartum celebrations applaud the work of the mother, who does the delivery. And the Greek term that Jesus used for again implies that the one, who did the work the first time will repeat it. In other words, the original Creator will re-create his creation! Born: God exerts the effort. Again: God restores the beauty. We don't try again. We need, not the muscle of self, but a miracle of God.
The thought bewildered Nicodemus. "How can this be?" he asked. Jesus answered by leading him to the Hope diamond of the Bible: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment... yet solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. As this study will reveal, the heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God's treatment for the human heart is prescribed in John 3:16: "He loves. He gave. We believe. We live."
The five sessions include:
•The Most Famous Conversation in the Bible
•Hope for the Hard Heart
•The Heart He Offers
•Heaven's "Whoever" Policy
• The Last Word on Life

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

Know What You're FOR
A Strategy for Living the Life God Wants You to Live
by Jeff Henderson

Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Do the people in your world know you're FOR them?
In our world today, people are often known more for what they are against than what they are for. Unfortunately, this extends even into the church. We want to reach the lost with the incredible good news of Christ, but often all they ever hear us emphasize are the behaviors and attitudes we are against.
In this Bible study, pastor Jeff Henderson points out God is FOR the people in our world. He is FOR breaking down unnecessary barriers that keep people away from experiencing his love. And as his followers, he calls us to be spouses, parents, friends, leaders, and employees who do the same.

The Overcomers Bible Study
Thriving in a World of Anxiety and Outrage
by Matt Chandler
read by Matt Chandler
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this five-session video Bible study, Matt Chandler draws on the book of Revelation to reveal what our lives would look like as followers of Christ if we lived from a place of believing that we were fully equipped and fully empowered by God to handle anything that the enemy threw our way. In “The Overcomers”, bestselling author and pastor Matt Chandler reveals what our lives would look like if we lived from a place of believing that we were fully prepared and equipped by God to handle anything that life threw at us. God has built us to be victors in this world. From the moment we received his salvation, we were given the gift of the Holy Spirit to fight the present darkness on this earth with his light.
But in these bleak times, we often find that Christians-and the Church-are snubbed, attacked, and criticized in this fight against evil. As a result, many of us struggle with accepting our role in the fight or feel we are on the losing end of a cultural war with no hope for victory. Yet regardless of the events and circumstances in our day, we can live a life of courage emboldened by the Lord. Marked by joy and conviction, we can push back darkness while being used by God to establish light and order.
We were made for this exact moment in history-and we are far more dangerous to Satan than we realize! We don't need to be afraid of anything in the present or the future, for Christ has already triumphed over anything we might face. We don't need to live as victims or our circumstances, for God is using our stories-regardless of how messy-to accomplish his will. We don't need to feel isolated, for we belong to a global community that has thrived for centuries to effectively overcome the enemy's plans.
This is our reality. We are not liabilities or weak links in God's rescue plan for the world. We are a powerful force for change today. We just need to accept this truth and engage in the battle.
Undistracted Bible Study
by Bob Goff
read by Bob Goff
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Disappointments are a fact of life. Setbacks will happen to us all at some point. It is easy to allow such events to steal our joy and distract us from our true purpose. But we don't have to fall into that trap. We can choose to keep our focus on Christ even in turmoil and be the kind of people who get busy moving in another direction.
In this five-session video study, bestselling author Bob Goff shares some of the stories from his life that have helped him understand what it truly means to be joyful in every situation. As he notes, the hard truth is that most of us live our lives consumed by worries and fears about things over which we have no control. We struggle to know how we should interact with family or friends. We fret about our finances and our faith. We question our college major and career choice. Add to this that we're following a God we can't see, for a lifetime we can't measure, to a heaven we can't comprehend, because of grace we didn't earn.
We're all trying to figure it out as we go. This leaves more offramps than onramps, more chances for confusion than certainty and more ambiguity than clarity. All of this vagueness plays right into the hands of darkness. The enemy doesn't seek to destroy us with an obvious all-out assault. No, he wants to distract us, keep us locked up in worries, and prevent us from experiencing those things that will give us true joy in life.
This is the goal of this study-to provide a roadmap to defeat discouragement and regain joy in life by becoming captivated by something better. Undistracted will provide practical steps to help participants make that journey.

Redeemed
How God Satisfies the Longing Soul
by Will Graham

Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Only God can satisfy the hungry soul.
In this five-session Bible study, Will Graham, the grandson of renowned preacher Billy Graham, shares stories and teachings from his life about what it means to be redeemed in Christ. As Will has traveled the globe, he has observed that deep inside each of our souls, we are all hungering for something. Some of us try to satisfy that need by throwing ourselves into relationships, jobs, or hobbies. Some try to fill the hunger by engaging in destructive vices. Others pursue good deeds, social work, or donating money to worthy causes. But as the psalmist writes, only God "satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness" (Psalm 107:9 NKJV).
As we experience this redemption and walk in God's ways, He leads us to a new understanding of His love, helps us to let go of our past, gives us a new heart and outlook on our trials, and opens our eyes to see the eternal needs of those around us.

Who Needs Christmas/Why Easter Matters Bible Study
by Andy Stanley
read by Andy Stanley
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Who Needs Christmas:
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)
Why Easter Matters:
As believers in Christ, we all would like to say that we trust in God. We would all like to claim that we believe God has our best interests in mind and that obedience to him is the best pathway to finding joy, peace, and fulfillment in life. But the truth is that we often find ourselves actively resisting the very God in whom we say we trust.
This was true of people even back in the days of first-century Israel, when Jesus walked the earth. In this four-session study pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as: Joseph Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, the two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, and the disciples and other followers of Jesus, who found their world turned upside down when the one they believed to be the Messiah was first put to death... and then rose again.
Sessions include:
• The High Cost of Following Christ (John 12:25)
• The Risk of Surrendering to God (Matthew 19:27)
• The God Who Can Be Trusted (Luke 23:39—41)
• The Foundation of Our Faith (Acts 1:8)

Faith, Hope, and Luck Bible Study
by Andy Stanley
read by Andy Stanley
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Through this five-session small group bible study DVD, Hope, Faith and Luck, Andy Stanley unpacks the power of faith and the need for maintaining your confidence in Jesus Christ amid the ups and downs of daily life.
Our faith in God often hinges on his activity-or inactivity-in our daily experiences. Sure, faith soars when our prayers are answered. When God's presence appears in an unmistakable way, our confidence in him is boosted. But when he doesn't come through, our confidence often wanes.
It doesn't have to be that way though-and it's not supposed to be that way!
This five-session small group study is guaranteed to transform your thinking about FAITH. As you listen or watch you will discover the difference between faith and hope. You will be presented with a definition of FAITH that will shed new light on both the Old and New Testaments.
Andy explains what we can expect of God every time we come to him with a request. In addition, he exposes the flaws in what some have labeled The Faith Movement. Faith, Hope, and Luck is not just another small bible group study. This content is foundational for everyone who desires to be an informed, active follower of Christ.
This DVD features six sessions, each with 15-20 minutes of teaching from Andy, and is designed to be used with the companion Faith, Hope and Luck Participant Guide (sold separately). When used together they provide a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth.
Sessions include:
1. Better Odds
2. Betting on Hope
3. Beating the Odds
4. No Dice
5. All In

The Last Supper on the Moon Bible Study
The Ocean of Space, the Mystery of Grace, and the Life Jesus Died for You to Have
by Levi Lusko
read by Levi Lusko
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, The Last Supper on the Moon 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.
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.
Starting Point Bible Study
A Conversation About Faith
by Andy Stanley
read by Andy Stanley
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
You had a first day of school, a first date, a first kiss, a first job.
But here's something you may not have considered-faith has a starting point.
Starting Point is a conversational environment where you can explore faith and experience community. It's a safe place for you to ask questions and to learn about the Bible and Christianity.
You may have questions that you've always wondered about but never felt you could ask at church, legitimate questions that would make many Christians uncomfortable. Ask them. Nothing is off-limits. We want to have conversations about the stuff that really matters to you, even when it's difficult to talk about-especially when it's difficult to talk about.
We believe that God loves you... specifically. And we believe he's big enough to handle your toughest questions, darkest moments, and deepest doubts. We want to honor him and you by creating an environment where you can be open, honest, and transparent.
This study is for:
• SEEKERS: those who are curious about God, Jesus, the Bible, or Christianity
• STARTERS: those who have just begun a relationship with Jesus Christ
• RETURNERS: those who have some church experience but have been away for a while
During the eight sessions, you will:
• Use this Starting Point Conversation Guide to reflect on central questions of faith and life.
• Watch the video component each week in preparation or as part of the discussion.
