Find Your People: Audio Bible Studies: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

Never in the history of civilization have we been more connected and felt more alone. We are all so lonely. What if fundamentally the ways we have set up our lives is broken? We've withdrawn rather than moved through it. We want supper clubs and friends, instead of war partners. We have a wrong view of community. This seven-session video Bible study begins with a look at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along. We will also discover throughout the study the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships: - Proximity - Shared Mission - Transparency - Accountability - Consistency The seven sessions include: - Week 1: Introduction It is not good for man to be alone. (Creation) - Week 2: The Disruption of Community Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. (Shame) - Week 3: Proximity I will make My dwelling among you. (God's Presence) - Week 4: Transparency And all who believed were together and had all things in common. (Acts) - Week 5: Accountability Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (The Church Grows) - Week 6: Shared Mission Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. (Jesus and the Disciples) - Week 7: Consistency Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.

Restless: Because You Were Made for More

A practical plan to identify the threads of your life and how to intentionally weave them together for God's glory and purposes Restless explores the fact that God has called us all to do great things in his name, and then helps us discover what that might mean for each of us individually. Jennie says, "We are called to dream but we're afraid to. But because we are called, when we don't act on it we become restless—restless to find purpose, to make a difference in the world, to matter." Using the story of Joseph, the dreamer, Jennie explains how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater story of God—and how our stories can do the same. Then she introduces Threads—a tool to help readers see their own personal stories and to uncover and understand the raw materials God has given each one to use for his glory and purpose while on this planet.

Stuck: Audio Bible Studies: The Places We Get Stuck and the God Who Sets Us Free

Do you feel stuck? So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. In Stuck, Bible teacher Jennie Allen shows us where we are stuck and why: - We are stuck in anger because we aren't trusting God to defend us. - We are stuck in discontentment because we are looking to the wrong things for fulfillment. - We are stuck in worry because we have made something other than God our idol. - We are stuck doing too much because we don't know our real purpose. - We are stuck in sadness because we have wrong expectations. Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, Jennie shows us how we've been trying to fix this stuck feeling with everything but God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore us. Our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, and we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom. Sessions include: - stuck (8:00) - broken (7:00) - mad (5:30) - discontent (8:00) - scared (9:00) - overwhelmed (8:00) - sad (8:30) - unstuck (7:30) Coordinating study guide available separately.

Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul

Safe. Comfortable. Happy. Words we all love. Feelings we want. Even crave. We may love God, but being that he’s invisible, words like comfortable seem to feel better faster. We are all chasing something. Our hearts were made to run hard and fast after things that move us. But as a generation, we are all beginning to stir and wake up, identifying that these words don’t satisfy for long, especially when compared to God. If God is real, and we are going to live with Him forever, shouldn’t He be everything? Caught in this familiar haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie Allen and her husband Zac, prayed a courageous prayer of abandonment that took them on the adventure God had written for them. “God, we will do anything. Anything.” Anything is a prayer of surrender that will spark something. A prayer that will move us to stop chasing things that just make us feel happy and start living a life that matters. A life that is... Surrendered. Reckless. Courageous. If we truly know a God worth giving anything for, everything changes.

With an eye to the fears and doubts teeming beneath the surface for many female churchgoers, she compels her audience to figure out whatÆs stopping them from using their God-given talents, and to be willing to do anything that God asks of them. By giving readers a glimpse of her own introspection and the interior life sheÆs revealed on her personal blog, she employs heartfelt honesty to connect with readers. Tales of loved ones who have taken the ôjourney to total abandonmentö show how giving oneÆs life over to a higher purpose can ôwreckö comfortable livesùand allow people to seize more important opportunities. Though the book is aimed at women who must balance their calling against more practical tasks like finishing the laundry and shopping at Target, AllenÆs friendly yet urgent messages will have the wheels spinning in the minds of all audiences and may be the tough medicine that propels them to action.''Jennie Allen is a visionary, a girlfriend, and a Jesus-chaser. I can't think of three qualities I appreciate more in a woman. I loved this book from cover to cover and have been really contemplating the way a one-word prayer can affect one's heart and ministry in this life. I want to be an 'anything' kind of girl, and I appreciate and respect the example Jennie has set in pursuing God and what he desires in us. It's just a word on a paper, but it's a lifetime choice that can make all the difference. You in?' - Angie SmithSpeaker, Women of FaithAuthor, I Will Carry You and What Women Fear

Controla tu mente: Libérate de los pensamientos tóxicos que te limitan

En la lista de los MÁS VENDIDOS de NEW YORK TIMES y USA TODAY La visionaria detrás de IF: Gathering, con un millón de personas, desafía a las mujeres cristianas a transformar sus perspectivas y sus vidas al interrumpir sus pensamientos en espiral y darse cuenta del poder que les da Dios para pensar de manera diferente. La oradora y profesora de la Biblia Jennie Allen escucha todo el tiempo a mujeres que se sienten atrapadas en patrones de frustración y derrota. En su búsqueda de una solución, ha aprendido que la mayor batalla espiritual de nuestra generación se está llevando a cabo entre nuestros oídos. Cómo pensamos da forma a cómo vivimos. Por lo tanto, es crucial que aprendamos a detener nuestros pensamientos obsesivos y rechacemos ser víctimas de patrones tóxicos como la victimización, la ansiedad y la distracción. En este libro, Jennie se basa en la verdad bíblica y los descubrimientos recientes de la neurociencia para mostrar exactamente cómo podemos luchar contra los enemigos de la mente con la verdad de quién es Dios y de quién nos llama a ser. ¿Tus pensamientos te mantienen cautiva? Nunca voy a ser lo suficientemente bueno. Otras personas tienen mejores vidas que yo. Dios realmente no podría amarme. Jennie Allen sabe lo que es girar en una espiral de pensamientos destructivos, pero también sabe que no tenemos que quedarnos atrapadas en ellos. Como descubrió por experiencia propia, Dios creó una vía de escape para ese espiral descendente. La libertad llega cuando nos negamos a ser víctimas de nuestros pensamientos y nos damos cuenta de que ya hemos sido equipados con el poder de Dios para luchar y ganar la guerra de nuestras mentes. En Controla tu mente, Jennie nos inspira y nos equipa para transformar nuestras emociones, nuestra perspectiva e incluso nuestras circunstancias al tomar el control de nuestros pensamientos. Nuestro enemigoestá decidido a meterse en nuestras cabezas para hacernos sentir impotentes, abrumadas e incapaces de hacer una diferencia para el reino de Dios. Pero cuando sometemos nuestras mentes a Cristo, las promesas y la bondad de Dios inundan nuestras vidas de maneras increíbles. Comienza en tu mente. Y a partir de ahí, las posibilidades son infinitas.
