In a culture that views absolute truth as a fixture of the past, it is necessary to have a deeper explanation of the hope available to us in Jesus. If this explanation is indeed plausible and the Bible is true, then the implications for how we live are nothing short of profound!

Your "turning" or "conversion" is only a beginning, and no more. It is not the whole journey; it is merely the first step. You are a disciple, that is, one who is under teaching; but your teaching, your discipleship, has only just begun. Your life is a book; it may be a bigger or smaller volume, but conversion is only the title page or the preface. The book itself remains to be written, and your years, weeks, and days are its chapters, pages, and lines. It is a book written for eternity; make sure that it is written well.

No matter where you are or who you are with, Jesus wants to include you in what he’s doing in the world. He genuinely enjoys being with you and his great delight is for you to join him as he reveals the reality of his love to others. All of life is an opportunity! In Threads, you’ll find how disciple making can be woven like threads into every aspect of your life, your family, and your church. The approach is biblical, life-giving, and reproducible. It's all about learning to genuinely enjoy and follow Jesus in a way that we can show others.

Churches are full of differences. Those differences might be rooted in culture or personality or even musical style. In recent years, differences over political and social issues have frayed the unity of many churches. Yet if a church is centered on Christ alone, then unity at church will sometimes require building genuine friendships that bridge across all those differences. How can Christians navigate those relationships? This practical guide explores 8 truths from Romans 12–15 that show us how to find God-exalting unity at church with those we struggle to love.

For many people the “why” for following Jesus seems to be mere eternal fire insurance, with often little to no effect on their lives here and now. Consequently, their lives are generally indistinguishable from the rest of the world. Their portrayal of Christianity is lifeless and uninspiring to those seeking true meaning and fulfillment.

What would be the impact if just one Christian in a hundred knew how to listen to God’s voice in daily situations and act on what they heard? Can you imagine how the ripple effect of a few well-tuned ears leading to small acts of obedience would spread across continents and down through successive generations? This is Jesus’ master discipleship plan for changing the world: teach people to hear the Holy Spirit and do what He says.

With all the hostility boiling just under the surface of our world, we need a renewed vision of Jesus as the Lamb of God who can lead us in the peaceable ways of the Kingdom. When we fail to keep Jesus at the center of our lives, we lean into the desires of our hearts more than the desires God has for us. As a result, our entire spirituality becomes driven by the self and for the self. We need renewed practices of centering Jesus in our hearts and minds. Derek Vreeland invites you to imagine what it looks like to keep Jesus as the Lamb of God at the center of three key areas of our lives.

What does digital discipleship look like practically in children’s ministry? Time To Update explores 7 areas of your children’s ministry strategy where you can incorporate digital means and methods to increase your effectiveness in discipling the next generation.

"On the way living" is a learned skill, not an innate ability. Suddenly the homeless person, the prisoner, the addict, the person who argues with you in the grocery store, the disagreeable boss, the customer becomes an opportunity with a chance to intervene and offer life-changing hope, even when they were not your intended destination. When we put into practice "on the way living," we begin to see people differently--not as a threat or inconvenience, but as a mission field with opportunities to allow God to use us to change minds and hearts so they can experience life and peace.

What is the nature of reality according to the Scriptures? What is the nature and purpose of God’s creation, and of humanity within creation? Did our role change after evil entered the world in Genesis 3, or is it fundamentally the same as at creation? What is “the meaning of life” according to the Scriptures, and how can such a vision be lived out and conveyed meaningfully in our generation? These are the sorts of questions this book is beginning to address, the first fruits of more than twelve years of research at the intersection of philosophy and biblical studies.

Traveling through a dry, empty desert with rolling tumbleweeds can leave us with cracked lips and a parched spirit. We travel to the well in the heat of the day, hunting for water, but after a short time, we realize we are still dehydrated. We need the Messiah and His Living Water to flow out of our innermost beings.

So much of our belief can be formulaic. We often think that if we do A, B, and C, then God will do X, Y, and Z. We check things off the “Good Christian Checklist,” trusting we’ll be okay, and our trials will be minimal. But when our experiences inevitably deviate from that belief, our trust in God often crumbles. After a series of life-altering trials—including a devastating diagnosis—uncovering faith in the cracks of pain is something Kristen LaValley knows well.

Whether it's a painful end or a joyful beginning—or even an uncertain middle—theologian and minister Amy Davis Abdallah has found something that helps: rituals. In Meaning in the Moment, she shows why we need rituals to help survive and even thrive through various seasons of life.
