Each of us has a choice in the type of lens we use to view our lives. Some of us view our lives through a lens of lack. We keep a mental inventory of everything we don''t have and worry there won’t be enough for us in the future. Others among us view our lives through a lens of abundance. We notice everything that we do have, thank God for providing those things for us, and then choose to live our days depending and trusting in him to keep on providing for us in the future.In Practicing Thankfulness, based on the bestselling book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, you will explore how you can switch your perspective to view your life more through the lens of abundance than of lack. You will explore what the Bible has to say about the many ways that God provides for you, learn why you should give thanks to him (in every situation) for this abundance, and discover how to truly make thankfulness a part of your daily life.

Discover the gift found in a life that doesn’t seek to be seen.In a world where excellence is equated to exposure, and legacy is equated to social media likes, what does it mean to embrace a hidden life?What does it look like to exchange: Performance culture for unconditional love? Visibility for inherent value? Earthly accolades for heavenly reward? Enslavement to people-pleasing for freedom in Christ? Hiding from life for being hidden in God? In Scripture, Jesus presents us an astoundingly countercultural way of existing—one without the pressure to perform or make a platform. The life Jesus offers us is focused on him. Simply and surely. Living a concealed life, whether known by many or by none, is about resetting our motivations and focus.In this study, we will learn from and relate our own stories to examples of multiple concealed characters in the Bible including the Sons of Korah, Cleopas, Huldah, the Daughters of Shallum, Pilate’s Wife, and Gideon.

Mark’s gospel has an urgency to it that’s hard to ignore. It's as if he is breathless, trying to get the information out as quickly as he can.

These questions are not born of a lack of faith but serve to strengthen and stabilize our relationship with the Savior. So, lace up your running shoes. Open your heart and mind. And come with your questions!

He wanted his life to have meaning, and he wanted to overcome his struggles, but the self-help books he read only left him feeling defeated and discouraged.

Do you feel like you have to settle for a life of duty?Many women feel pressure to strive to be the women they "ought" to be, often living with the sense that they’ve failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women do nothing but add to the pressure: "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there.Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.Staci Eldredge wrote Captivating to share that your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. Throughout this study guide, you will: Learn how to guard the most important thing about you...your heart. Find courage to walk away from the ways we live out of fear. Let God tenderly open our wounds to set us free. Fight the right enemy, which is not men. And it's not women. Possess a beauty that is worth pursuing. Our wounds reveal what we are meant to bring to the world. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. Really. He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story--to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.Sessions include: The Heart of a Woman (16:00) Fallen Eve (17:00) The Wound and the Healer (19:00) A Special Hatred (17:00) Beauty to Unveil (17:00) Your Irreplaceable Role (15:00) This pack contains: Captivating Study Guide Captivating Video Study DVD (streaming video access included)
