Every Thought Captive: Audio Bible Studies: How Renewing Your Mind Can Change Your Life

"Allow God to Shape Your Thinking Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. In Romans 12:2, we read these words: 'Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.' Just like molten glass, our lives are constantly being shaped and molded by the thoughts we think. Join pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman for a five-session journey where you will learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn't a study on the power of positive thinking-or how you have the power to change your life-but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word. Sessions run times: - Conformed or Transformed (19:00) - The Pattern of Distraction (19:00) - The Pattern of Offense (18:30) - Say It Out Loud (19:00) - Win the Morning (18:00) The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

When Your Way Isn't Working: Finding Purpose and Contentment through Deep Connection with Jesus

"Read by the author. Equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so that you can be free to live the life you long for. When you are worn-out, when you feel discouraged, when you think you don't have what it takes, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget? In some of his final words to his closest friends, Jesus didn't suggest a five-year plan for success or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor about what the good life really looks like: I am the vine. You are the branches. Abide in me. In other words, No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to stay connected to me. In When Your Way Isn't Working, pastor and bestselling author of Not a Fan Kyle Idleman offers a unique exploration of John 15 for all of us who are going through the motions and feel frustrated. Idleman reminds us that it's connection, not production, that leads to a fruitful life--relationships, not circumstances, that bring joy. He offers his distinctive, biblical perspective on how to: - Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life - Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production - Recognize what you can't do makes room for what God can do - Step out of isolation even when it feels scary - Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God--and how to counter them In the end, the fruit of your life won't have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you."

John: Audio Bible Studies: Life in His Name

"WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST? We all believe in something. We all put our faith in what we trust will sustain us and help us move ahead. For some of us, that might be a relationship or a job. For others, it could be an education, a financial portfolio, or a political platform. But the disciple John, in his Gospel, invites us to put our belief in something much more secure. As he states, "These things [in my Gospel] are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31). In this six-session audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that John didn't write his Gospel just to tell us about a profound teacher or a powerful miracle worker. Rather, his purpose was to tell us about the very Son of God who came to this earth so that we "may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). John challenges us to trust in Christ-and to demonstrate our faith in him through the way we live and love others. The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God's Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study.

Not a Fan Updated and Expanded: Becoming a Completely Committed Follower of Jesus

"Read by the author. Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: - Examine your relationship with God - Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules - Pray the way Jesus prayed - Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower."

Gods at War: Defeating the Idols that Battle for Your Heart

"Join pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman as he illustrates a clear path away from the heartache of our twenty-first-century idolatry and back to the heart of God--enabling us to be completely committed followers of Jesus. What do Netflix, our desire for the corner office, and that perfect picture we just posted on Instagram have to do with each other? None of these things are wrong in and of themselves. But when we begin to allow entertainment, success, or social media to control us, we miss out on the joy of God's rule in our hearts. In Gods at War, Idleman helps every believer recognize that there are false gods at war within each of us, and they battle for the place of glory and control in our lives. According to Idleman, idolatry isn't an issue; it is the issue. And he reveals which false gods we are allowing on the throne of our lives by asking insightful questions, including: - What do you sacrifice for? - What makes you mad? - What do you worry about? - Whose applause do you long for? We're all wired for worship, but we often end up valuing and honoring the idols of money, sex, food, romance, success, and many others that keep us from the intimate relationship with God that we desire. In this updated and expanded edition of Gods at War, Idleman adds a new introduction as well as new content about the battle many of us face with technology, whether we are tempted to send just one more text, stay online when our bodies need rest, or put email before in-person relationships, teaching us how to seek God with our whole heart instead. Praise for Gods at War: 'Today's false gods are more tempting than ever as they promise comfort, wealth, and happiness. Kyle Idleman equips us to kill the deceitful pests that harass our hearts. Get ready for battle.' --Mark Batterson, pastor, National Community Church, and bestselling author of The Circle Maker 'Don't just read this book--read it now! Kyle's words will dig deep to expose the false gods that drive us away from the real One. In these pages, liberation awaits.' --Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith"
