Get Out Of Your Head Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide
$24.99Add to cartStop the spiral of toxic thoughts by learning how to become imitators of Christ.
Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen–the visionary behind the million-strong IF: Gathering–knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: “I’ll never be good enough.” “Other people have better lives than I do.” “God couldn’t really love me.”
We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it’s the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ.
In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study, Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlooks, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by:
*Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ
*Shifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to God
*Fighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delight
*Escaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitude
*Learning to forget what’s behind so we can move ahead
*Defeating anxiety with a mind like Christ’sOur enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.
The Get Out of Your Head Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the book of Philippians to engage the mind and heart.

1. Introduction: Spiraling Out (17:00)
2. Make the Shift (18:00)

Final Days Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$15.99Add to cartThis Lent ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. The Leader Guide contains discussion questions and session plans for a six-week study of The Final Days by Matt Rawle. It includes opening and closing prayers, optional activities, and session goals for each week and is designed to be used with the book and DVD. The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same. Each Gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather the reveal an abundant, diverse, and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Person Of Interest Investigators Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide
$24.99Add to cartImagine investigating a murder in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. How would you identify a person of interest in such a case?
Designed to be used alongside Person of Interest and the Person of Interest Video Study, this study guide will teach you the same investigative strategies used by detective J. Warner Wallace to examine the claims of history.
Dateline featured cold-case detective and bestselling author, J. Warner Wallace, has investigated a number of these “no body missing person” cases and has successfully identified and convicted the killers, even without the victim’s body or evidence from the crime scene.
Can the historicity of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Can the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he employs a unique investigative strategy to confirm the historicity and deity of Jesus–without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Imagine a scenario in which every New Testament document has been destroyed, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone to reconstruct the identity of Jesus as the world’s most important person of interest.
Person of Interest will:
*Invite readers into the life of a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case
*Teach readers how to become good detectives, using an innovative and unique “‘fuse’ and ‘fallout'” investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history
*Help readers to explore common objections to Christianity
Concrete, compelling, and unique in its approach, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.
This study guide has everything you need for a full personal or group experience.
*The study guide itself – with thoughtful introductions, questions for personal reflection and application, and discussion questions for leading a group or team.
*An individual access code to stream all video sessions online. (You don’t need to buy a DVD!)

In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai-a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.

I Want To Trust You But I Dont Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/S
Original price was: $24.99.$17.97Current price is: $17.97.Add to cartTrust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it’s also what trips you up after you’ve been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you’re wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it’s not simply about finding better people to walk with. It’s about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.
In I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t Bible Study, Lysa digs into the Scriptures and helps you apply how to:
*identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you’re feeling uneasy;
*stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial what if questions to better process your doubts;
*recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and
*understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced and start healing from the inside out.

What Happens Next Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99Add to cartWhat comes to mind when you think about the end times? If you are like many Christians, you might not think about it much at all. You have a carpe diem kind of faith that focuses on the here and now. Why occupy your thoughts with the “not yet” when you have enough to deal with in the “right now”? The answer is simple: because Jesus focused on the end times. A full thirty percent of his teachings in the Gospels have to do with discourses on heaven, hell, and the events that will signal the final age. So, if Jesus made the end times a priority, it only makes sense that his followers would make it a priority as well.
Perhaps one of the reasons why you don’t like to think about the end times is because you know it will involve turmoil and strife. Indeed, Jesus said the final days would be marked by events that include economic turmoil, political conflicts, ethnic tensions, persecution of Christians, famines, wars and rumors of wars, diseases, false prophets, waning faith in Jesus, and other fearful sights. Jesus declared, “All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:9). Labor pains increase in frequency and intensity as the delivery draws near. Jesus was speaking of a day in which the same will happen in the world.
Now, when it comes to considering these events that will signal the end of the age, you have a choice as to how you will respond. You can see these circumstances through the eyes of fear or faith. The eyes of fear see little reason for hope and ample reason for anxiety. However, the eyes of faith see history inching closer and closer to a new era that will usher in a heavenly destiny–a time when you will “reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize” (Philippians 3:14 nlt). God has told you what to expect not to scare you but to prepare you. He is like a pilot on the intercom telling the passengers about impending turbulence. A good pilot keeps his travelers informed. Your good Father does the same!
God wants you to have a deep-seated confidence that he is firmly on his throne and the future is in his hands. He has given prophecy to empower his saints with the reassurance that whatever happens in this life, he is ultimately sovereign.

Even when we fully believe that God sees and hears our requests, if we’re honest, we sometimes view waiting as wasted time. But, what if it’s not? What if waiting is the means God uses to make us more like Christ? What if there are some pieces of God’s character that we’ll only learn while we wait?
If that’s true… how do we lean in? What lessons do these seasons hold? How do we keep hoping and believing what we know to be true?

Exodus : Bible Study – 6 Sessions
$11.99Add to cartExplore events foundational to our faith in this six-session study of the book of Exodus. Israel is enslaved in Egypt, wondering whether God’s covenantal promises to Abraham will be fulfilled. Suffering under oppression and violence, Israel cries out, and God hears, remembers, and acts. Through miraculous signs and wonders, God warns Pharaoh to relent, delivers Israel through the Red Sea, and brings the people into covenant at Mount Sinai. What will be Israel’s response?
The defining events of Exodus shape Israel’s identity throughout the biblical narrative, from Joshua to Jesus. With your Bible in one hand and this study in the other, join us as we take an in-depth look at Exodus, the character of God, and the call of Israel as God’s chosen people. Discover foundational truths with the lessons of Israel: The Hebrew people were not just freed from slavery but also freed for a purpose. As Israel carried God’s presence into the world, they were called to live differently so the world would know there is a God in Israel.

2. God Acts: God acts and begins a rescue plan for Israel.
3. God Rescues: Israel is delivered, and God’s rescue plan begins in full.

Daniel Prayer Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video
$22.99Add to cartDo you long for a more powerful prayer life? Do you grow discouraged when your prayers don’t seem to change anything or allow you to hear God’s voice?
In this six-session video Bible study workshop (video access included), Anne Graham Lotz presents a biblical approach to prayer that will help you:
*Learn to listen for God’s voice,
*Know Him in a personal relationship,
*and Communicate with Him through His Word.By taking a close look at the life of Daniel, Anne unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Following the pattern of Daniel’s original prayer as a model for how we speak to our Creator, she helps us develop a more meaningful and powerful prayer life.
For an entire generation, Daniel’s people had been held in captivity and separated from their homeland. But when Daniel read a prophecy in which God said He would restore His people to Jerusalem after seventy years, he claimed that promise and cried out for to the Lord to bring it to pass. Daniel’s example of praying God’s Word back to Him is what Anne calls “reversed thunder.”
In this six-session study, Anne explains how we can reverse the thunder until Heaven is moved and we see real change in our own lives and the lives of those we’re praying for.

Job is living the good life. He is a devout man blessed with good health, a large family, and material wealth, until one day it is all taken away. Yet amid his deep sorrow, Job continues to trust in the Lord. While he struggles to make sense of his desperate situation and respond to the explanations his friends offer for his appalling losses, he also grows in faith and humility, personally explores the problems of evil and injustice, re-evaluates traditional ideas around prosperity and suffering, and even finds purpose hiding beneath his pain.
This six-week study covers key themes in the Book of Job that will help you discover the strength of enduring faith and the ability to reach out and help others who are facing life’s toughest challenges. The six sessions include:
*Job’s Pain

Revelation Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99Add to cartPerhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible-the culmination of God’s great story-speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.
Features
*Verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation
*10 video teaching sessions unpacking truths found throughout the study and offering additional insights, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
