Book excerpt: Full Color! The Abundant Life is a powerful 10 week Bible study designed for personal or group use that clearly demonstrates how to enjoy an abundant and fruitful relationship with the true and living God. In John 10:10 Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." What did Jesus mean? What is the abundant life that God wants His children to have? How do we experience the abundant life that Jesus came to provide? This study will examine the abundant life according to Scripture. It is written for all Christians to ensure they are experiencing what Jesus died and paid for. God never intended for His children to live a life of despair and defeat. **Part I examines the abundant revelation that God has provided with particular attention to His grace. Part II reveals and expands upon the amazing things that the Lord has done for us. Contemplating and making these an internal part of our lives invariably translates into an abundant response and relationship with Him. Part III then reviews the abundant transformation that naturally follows a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ. **This is exciting! Clearly, God wants us to have an incredible life that abounds here on earth. We do not have to be joyless Christians going through the motions anymore. Yes! We can have victory over sin and actually know the God who created and saved us. Let's get going and discover the abundant life!
Download or read book Depression Anxiety and Other Things We Don t Want to Talk About written by Ryan Casey Waller and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental illness loves to tell lies. One of those lies is that you should be able to manage what you're struggling with all by yourself, but in Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About, pastor and psychotherapist Ryan Casey Waller reminds us that we don't have to suffer alone. Mental health issues aren't a symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith. In fact, suffering is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward restoration. And yet, as Waller has experienced firsthand, the battle can be lonely and discouraging--but it doesn't have to be. Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep empathy, Waller offers a rare mix of companionship and truth, inviting us to: Have shame-free conversations about mental health Discover why self-knowledge is so important to a deep relationship with God Understand the intersection of biology, psychology, and spirituality Explore varying avenues of healing in community, therapy, and medication Be equipped to support loved ones while practicing self-care Waller bridges the gap between the spiritual and the psychological in this empathetic, imminently helpful guidebook, reminding us all that we are not alone. Hope starts now. Praise for Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About: "I work with Christian leaders from all over the country and have seen firsthand how desperately we need to be talking about depression and anxiety. What prior generations considered taboo, the leaders of today and tomorrow consider essential. Whether you're new to the conversation of mental health or intimately familiar with its complexities, Waller's book has something for you. I can't wait for you to read this." --Grant Skeldon, author of The Passion Generation and Next Gen Director at Q
Download or read book The Other Half of Church written by Jim Wilder and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could brain science be the key to spiritual formation? Why does true Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles—and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible? These are some of the questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began to find answers when he met Jim Wilder—a neurotheologian. Using brain science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation doesn’t last and narcissistic leaders flourish. In The Other Half of Church, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic spread of narcissism is eradicated.
