Embracing the God-Filled Life
by Anne Graham Lotz
read by Anne Graham Lotz
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Follow author Anne Graham Lotz in this seven-session small group video Bible study (guide sold separately), on a journey through Abraham's life, and learn, as he did, how to live a life of joy and purpose in the midst of struggle and doubt.
Are you restless in your spirit, with a nagging sense that there has to be more to life than 'this'? Anne Graham Lotz has known this struggle, too.
As Anne searched for answers to her heart's yearning and emptiness, Abraham walked out of the pages of her Bible and into her life. Abraham's life was full of twists and turns, riches and losses, deceit and redemption, failure and success. Nevertheless, his story teaches the key to satisfying a longing heart: embracing a God-filled life.
Join Anne as she teaches you and your group to embrace a God-filled life, choice-by-choice, day-by-day, and learn to know God as Abraham did... as His friend.
This features seven 10-15 live teaching sessions with discussion starters, processing questions, space for recording notes, and daily devotions for between times with your small group.
Sessions include:
• Listening to God Speak Through His Word
• Leaving Everything Behind
• Let Everything Go

Relatable
Making Relationships Work
by Louie Giglio
read by Louie Giglio
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
From the time we are born, relationships are constantly shaping who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Beginning with how we see ourselves, we develop a view of God and others that impact the way we relate to our parents, navigate friendships, dating relationships, and marriage.
This audiobook looks at relationships the way God intended them to be. Because He has gone to extraordinary lengths to relate to us, we have the potential to build incredible relationships with one another. Embracing God's love and receiving His grace changes the way we relate to him, our family, our friends, and ourselves.
In this six-session Bible study, Louie Giglio explores the fundamental question of what makes us relatable to others. He shows how God can change our perspective on relationships, give us greater purpose in dating and marriage, bring us peace amid conflict, and help us restore relationships that seem broken beyond repair.

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

Wine in the Word: Audio Bible Studies
Why God Gave Us the Gift of Wine
by Gisela H. Kreglinger
read by Gisela Kreglinger, Randy Frazee
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren't we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn't have anything to do with that. Doesn't the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?
Does it surprise you that Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went.
Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil's tool of temptation. And we've all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.
In this six-session video Bible study, scholar and author Gisela H. Kreglinger and pastor and author Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God's earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things. In this six-session video Bible study, professor Gisela Kreglinger and pastor Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together.

Redeemed
How God Satisfies the Longing Soul
by Will Graham
read 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.

Our Beginning, Our Rebellion, and Our Way Back

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 the Creator 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 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. 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.

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.
Sessions include:
• A Reason to Celebrate (16 min)

The Promise and Power of Easter
Captivated by the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus
by Christine Caine
read by Christine Caine, Lisa Harper
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
This study is about taking the time to remember the reality and result of our unconditional transformative redemption! When your heart becomes more cognizant of what took place on that old, rugged cross everything changes.
The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross.
The first person who officially acknowledged the deity of Jesus by referring to Him as the Son of God wasn't one of the disciples or someone He healed, it was the Roman military officer who presided over His crucifixion. That centurion never got to watch our Redeemer heal a leper or walk on water. The only thing he watched Jesus do was die. And it changed the trajectory of his life because he realized only the King of all kings would choose to lay down His crown and be crushed on behalf of His people.
Since that Good Friday over 2,000 years ago, Christianity is the only religion in the world whose belief system centers around a Savior who suffered. We're the only ones who place our hope in a deity who's so radically compassionate, He was willing to die so that we could live. Many of us live knowing a lot but living a bit like we don't know much at all. The difference between performance and devotion is rarely defined by outward behavior. The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross. We can all relate to the lengths we go to for those we love. And our Redeemer went to lengths that leave us in awestruck gratitude. That's what this study is about. Taking the time to remember the reality and result of our unconditional transformative redemption! When your heart becomes more cognizant of what took place on that old, rugged cross everything changes.
In this four-week Bible study taught by Christine Caine and Lisa Harper, we will remember together what led up to the cross and join hands in awesome celebration of the restoration we received when Jesus rose again. What a gift to reflect and rise together in the Lord's power and glory!

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.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
Push past the loss of your "normal" with bestselling author Laura Story and embrace the soaring freedom found in living secure in God's love.
Bible teacher Laura Story gets what it's like to have plans altered and to surrender perceived security when faced with circumstances beyond our control. But she also understands the blessing of having a Father who loves you enough to take off the training wheels and place his beloved children in the best possible scenario for good and growth.
Building on Laura's previous two titles, When God Doesn't Fix It and I Give Up, So Long, Normal guides us to leave behind the idols of comfort, caution, and routine so we can live strong and well, even when life takes an unwelcome turn.
She says, "Jesus doesn't just save us from hell in the next life; He saves us from our addiction to 'normal' lives this side of eternity. Our preference for cautious, ordinary lives is really rooted in a lack of faith and a failure to understand how much better His plan is than ours."
In her confessional, conversational style, Laura weaves her own personal stories with examples from Scripture of characters whose lives were upended by unexpected (and undesired) change. Leaving, loving, or losing our "normal" is not the end of the world but the beginning of a new adventure with God who will change us forever.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges draws on the story of Elijah to show no matter how powerful, accomplished, or successful we may be, we can all still succumb to fear, doubt, despair, and hopelessness. In 1 Kings 18, we read how Elijah (whose very name means "Yahweh is my God") won renown for defeating the priests of Baal during the reign of King Ahab. But when the wicked Queen Jezebel sent a message vowing to take his life, the prophet fled into the wilderness and "came to a broom bush," where he "sat down under it and prayed that he might die" 1 Kings 19:4).
Elijah's story reveals that even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But the good news is that we don't have to stay there! Like Elijah, we can become overcomers in Christ and press on to God-inspired victory. As Out of the cave reveals, God will provide rest for the weary, hope for the desperate, and balm for the aching soul.

Many people are obsessed with the approval of others. The problem is that living for what people think of you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about you.
In Altar Ego, author Craig Groeschel shows individuals and small groups how to abandon self-worth based on accomplishments and possessions, turning instead to the eyes of God to define them. Participants will learn to expose false labels and selfish motives as the roadblocks they are, going instead to the altar of God's truth and pursuing the higher values he sets above the world.
You don't have to get caught up in your self-worth or lack thereof. Your worth is not based on your opinion of yourself. You are valuable because God says you are His. You are not your past. You are not what you did. You are not who others say you are. You are who Christ says you are.
This study will help you delve further into God's divine plan, and will ultimately help you sacrifice any old, unhealthy, untrue, and unbiblical thoughts about yourself and introduce you to your altar-ego-who you are in Christ.

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)

I Give Up
The Secret Joy of a Surrendered Life
by Laura Story
read by Laura Story
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
But I don't want to surrender!
Have you ever felt those words bubbling up so deep inside you want to shout?
It's normal. It's natural. It's human to want to be in control.
But when your need for peace surpasses your desire for control, God—who truly uses all things for our good—demonstrates how much we can trust him. The very act of completely surrendering our will to his can become the one act that will change your life forever.
In this five-session Bible study, recording artist and bestselling author Laura Story demonstrates the ironic joy found when we surrender it all to God and simply give up. Surrendering expectations and power is not a step-by-step process but a willful, daily decision worth every single ounce of effort.
Though surrender sometimes flies in the face of our instincts, hopes, and dreams, it's never without benefit. A surrendered life includes the surprise of a truly full and satisfying existence where trust is reasonable, reconciliation is possible, and relationships can heal.

Listen, Love, Repeat
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)
• Let Love Complete the Circle (23:00)

3:16
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 Your Way Isn't Working
Finding Purpose and Contentment through Deep Connection with Jesus
by Kyle Idleman
read by Kyle Idleman
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Discover How To Live The Life You Long For
Maybe you've found recently that you are getting more irritable with people. Or you're feeling more overwhelmed and defeated by the challenges that life is throwing your way. Or you're spending more time scanning social media than you are connecting with God in prayer. Even doing things your way isn't working out the way you think it should.
If you're feeling discouraged, frustrated, and worn out, it's a good indication that something in your life is out of sync. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem found in Scripture. In John 15:5, Jesus tells his followers, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can't do anything." Instead of going it alone in this life, we are to stay connected to him.
In this audio Bible study, pastor Kyle Idleman reveals how we can actually do that by:
• Seeking out greater rest, depth, and connection in our lives
• Recognizing that what we can't do makes room for what God can do
• Finding freedom from the pressures of performance and production
• Stepping out of loneliness and isolation even when it feels scary
• Getting rid of the distractions that keep us disconnected from Christ
In the end, Kyle reveals that the fruit of your life will have nothing to do with your accomplishments and everything to do with your connections. No matter what happens in this world, the greatest joy comes from staying close to the God who stays close to you.
Sessions and run times:
• Diagnosing Disconnection (15:00)
• The Wheel of Emotions (15:00)

The Hard Good
Why Every Struggle Matters More Than You Know
by Lisa Whittle
read by Lisa Whittle
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
The Hard Good shows why the divine road that leads to God's perfect plan for our lives is often paved with difficulties.
At our very core is the desire to be God's woman or man-faithful, having fulfilled the potential God created in us. To reach that point, sometimes we have to endure hard things, things God has designed for good, to supernaturally shape us into the people he wants us to be. When we choose to accept the "hard good," we discover our life's purpose, and he promises to give us the joy and passion as our deepest longing is fulfilled.
The hard good is a powerful path to growth, as you learn to:
• accept things you wish were different
• apologize and forgive first
• come clean (repentance)
• give up the now for the best
• stay in the journey
• cheer for someone who has what you want
• open your heart, even when it's been hurt
• tell yourself no
The Hard Good is a six-session video Bible study (study guide sold separately) based in 1 Samuel. It will help you discover a practical roadmap to help you find God's true purpose for your life-a study in becoming the person God uniquely created you to be. With counsel from Scripture, which speaks into relevant and universal issues that touch each one of us, The Hard Good inspires and motivates you to discover the growth you have long desired as you search for your purpose in God's perfect plan.

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.

Weird: Audio Bible Studies
Because Normal Isn't Working
by Craig Groeschel
read by Craig Groeschel
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this audio Bible study, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shatters 'normal' and turns 'weird' upside down.
Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. Lust and frequent "casual" sex are far more common than purity and a healthy married sex life. And when it comes to God, the many believe, but few practice the teachings of Scripture in their everyday lives.
Simply put, normal isn't working. In this study, Groeschel's WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.
Sessions include:
• The God Kind of Weird
• It's Time to Be Weird
• Weird That Money Can't Buy

Judah Smith digs deep to answer the most common and the most difficult questions about Jesus, a man so few understand and so many desperately need.

No matter what the world throws at us-anxiety, fear, confusion, temptation-we have a choice on how to respond.
We can either concede defeat, or put on God's armor and overcome.
We all know it's hard out there. Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams. And, yet the Bible promises we were created to be overcomers, conquering the greatest obstacles in our lives.
In Overcomer, beloved teacher Dr. David Jeremiah offers his insights on one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the Bible: the apostle Paul's admonition to the Ephesians to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We are to daily put on each piece of armor:
• Belt of Truth
• Breastplate of Righteousness
• Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
• Shield of Faith
• Helmet of Salvation
• Sword of the Spirit
When we are armed with God's armor, we receive God's power to face life's challenges and be assured of success. With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool each day as we confront the specific challenges in our lives and of our time.

Glory Days
Living Your Promised Land Life Now
by Max Lucado
read by Max Lucado
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Life has a way of taking the life out of us. Often we go through situations where the challenge seems so much greater than our strength. During such times, we can find hope and inspiration from the story of Joshua.
God had called Joshua to take over from Moses and lead the Israelites into a paradigm shift, from wilderness wandering to promise-believing. In Canaan, they would not fight for victory, but fight from victory. God had a Promised Land in store for them, but they had to grasp that reality, change their mindsets, and take action to receive it.
The same is true for us today. God is telling us that our best days-our "glory days"-are still ahead of us. We only need to grasp that truth and live in faith to realize this promise.

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.

Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad
by John Eldredge
read by John Eldredge
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
We live in soul-scorching times. The 24-7 onslaught of contemporary life-with its never-ending feed of global tragedies, demands for our attention, and pressures of work, family, and friends-has left us feeling ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. But if we have no margin in our lives, how do we find room to change anything?
In this life-changing Bible study, John Eldredge distills a lifetime of wisdom into five practical and ready-to-implement practices for putting your life back together. These practices include:
(1) the one-minute pause,
(2) benevolent detachment,
(3) practicing kindness,
(4) getting outside, and
(5) stepping back from technology.
These practices, ready for the taking, will enable you to begin recovery, focus on what matters most, disengage from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.
You don't need to abandon your life to get it back. You can restore it here and now. And you will never be the same.

Hoodwinked
Ten Myths Moms Believe and Why We All Need to Knock It Off
by Karen Ehman
read by Karen Ehman, Ruth Schwenk
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.
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.
Sessions include:
• Build Bridges, Not Fences: When Others Mother Differently
• Mothering Matters: Seeing the Hard Years as the Heart Years
• At the Top of the Tightrope: When You Try to Do It All
• Pressing the Pause Button: Taking Your Schedule from Racing to Rest
• In Armor of Their Own: On Revealing the Picture God's Painting

You Belong
Because God Is Who He Says He Is
by Candace Payne
read by Candace Payne
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
BEST NEWS - Belonging Has Nothing to Do with Us At All!
Have you ever wondered why a true sense of fulfillment, abundance, freedom, joy, and connection seems elusive?
Sometimes our biggest questions are answered in ways we just didn't consider. With insight and exuberance, Bible study teacher Candace Payne walks through the five ways God names Himself in relation to us and how each name adds a layer of truth to how we belong. It has nothing to do with us, but everything to do with Him and He meets us at every turn to prove it.
In this six-session Bible study, dig deep into the characteristics of the God who claims us, considers us, names us, and loves us. Understanding who we are through who God says He is erases all the boxes we've put ourselves and others into and unleashes joy-filled freedom.

The Nehemiah Code
It's Never Too Late for a New Beginning
by O. S. Hawkins
read by O. S. Hawkins
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
In this six-session Bible study, O.S. Hawkins, bestselling author of the Code series, draws on the book of Nehemiah to show how each of us can begin again when we look to God for help. Whether we have suffered broken relationships, integrity missteps, devastating loss, or any other setback, it is never too late to rebuild our lives!
Nehemiah understood this truth when he called on the Lord for insight during his people's hard times. He was an ordinary man who applied principles from God that enabled him to rebuild a broken city wall and, in the process, rebuild a lot of broken hopes. Nehemiah left behind some secrets of his success—a sort of hidden "code"—which can become a fountain of hope and strength to us. Nehemiah's message across the centuries is plain and powerful: it is never too late for a new beginning!

Present Over Perfect
Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living
by Shauna Niequist
read by Shauna Niequist
Part of the Audio Bible Studies series
Which are you... striving for perfect, or settled and present?
You can't be both.
We're all pushing for something, for the life we think we want. We strive and strain and orchestrate and negotiate, in hopes of stitching together an existence that satisfies, but in the end, all that forced movement, all that contrived exertion, leaves us writhing in pain, in agony, right inside the reality we ourselves created. The pain shows up in addiction. Or in a string of failed relationships. It shows up in overeating, overdrinking, overspending, over functioning, over-everything.
In Present Over Perfect, Shauna Niequist invites us to consider the landscape of our life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present. In this six-week study, you will answer some vital questions:
• Have you become someone you wouldn't want to be around?
• Are you longing for connection but settling for busy?
• What sacrifices are you making in order to play the role you find yourself playing?
• What "no" do you have to say when you say yes? Is this a wise thing to say no to?
• What has your need for speed cost you along the way?
• What attitudes, expectations, neuroses, habits, and obligations would you have to upend in order to care more purposefully for your soul?
Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. Discover an entirely new way to live... soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most.
Sessions include:
• Pain Points (23:00)
• The Roles We Play (20:00)
• Yes, and No (21:00)
• Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good (22:00)
• Living the Love (21:00)
