[Spanish] - El beneficio de dudar: Cómo confrontar tus preguntas más profundas puede llevar a una fe

"En El beneficio de dudar, el pastor y autor best seller Craig Groeschel muestra cómo la duda no tiene por qué ser un callejón sin salida, y nos enseña que hacer preguntas, buscar respuestas y luchar con la duda puede, en realidad, acercarte más a Dios. Todos tenemos dudas. Es una parte completamente normal de ser humano y de no tener todas las respuestas. Los cristianos dudan de si Jesús es quien dijo ser, de hasta qué punto los descubrimientos científicos contradicen la Biblia e incluso de si Dios existe. Pero las dudas no tienen por qué alejarte de Dios: en realidad pueden acercarte a Él. El pastor Craig Groeschel conoce la aterradora sensación de '¿y si no es verdad?'. Sabe que la duda forma parte de la fe... y que las dudas pueden ser una invitación a una fe aún más profunda. A través de este libro, Craig se adentrará en cuestiones como - ¿Por qué Dios no responde a mis oraciones? - ¿Por qué debo creer que Dios es bueno? - ¿Por qué Dios sólo proporciona un camino hacia la vida eterna con él? - ¿No contradice la ciencia a la Biblia? - ¿Por qué creer en Jesús cuando sus seguidores son tan hipócritas? La duda no tiene por qué ser un callejón sin salida. Si estás en el valle de la duda, sigue buscando, leyendo y preguntando. No será fácil, pero merecerá la pena. Busca a Dios y le encontrarás... o, mejor aún, Él te encontrará a ti. The Benefit of Doubt In The Benefit of Doubt, Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shows how doubt doesn't have to be a dead end, demonstrating how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw you closer to God. We all have doubts. It's a completely normal part of being human and not having all the answers. Christians doubt whether Jesus is who he said he is, how much scientific discoveries contradict the Bible, and even if God exists at all. But doubts don't have to take you away from God - they can actually draw you nearer to Him. Pastor Craig Groeschel knows the scary feeling of 'what if it's not true?' He knows that doubt is a part of faith--and that doubts can be an invitation to an even deeper faith. Through this book, Craig will walk through questions like: - Why doesn't God answer my prayers? - Why should I believe God is good? - Why would God only provide one way to eternal life with him? - Doesn't science contradict the Bible? - Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites? Doubt doesn't have to be a dead end. If you're in the valley of doubt, keep seeking, reading, and asking. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Seek God and you will find him . . . or, even better, he will find you."

WEIRD: Audio Bible Studies: Because Normal Isn’t Working

"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 (16:30) - It's Time to Be Weird (17:30) - Weird That Money Can't Buy (17:30) - Pleasing God is Weird (16:30) - Weird Makes You Truly Sexy (17:00) - The Weirdest Blessing Possible (17:30) Coordinating study guide available separately.
