Everyday Revolutionary: Audio Bible Studies: How Daniel's Story and Peter's Example Help You Live as

"Living quietly for God and speaking your faith loudly Have you felt the tension between living faithfully as a Christian and navigating an increasingly complex cultural landscape? Perhaps you've found yourself wrestling with questions that seem to have no clear answers. Questions such as . . . When should you speak up and when should you stay silent? How can you show love to your neighbors while standing firm in your convictions? What does it mean to be both gracious and truthful in a world that often sees these as mutually exclusive? Join pastor J. D. Greear as he answers these questions by looking at the life of Daniel-a Jewish man who was distinctively faithful yet genuinely beloved in the culture of Babylon-and at the writings of Peter and other New Testament authors, who used Babylon as a metaphor for the secular world after Jesus' ascension. In the process, you will discover what it means to 'live quietly' in this world while 'testifying loudly' for Christ-whether that is in in your workplace, children's school, neighborhood, or even on social media. Sessions run times: Made to Make a Difference (18:30) Why We Are Here (17:30) Citizens of Another Kingdom (18:30) Live Quietly: Creation-Fulfilling and Excellence-Pursuing (14:00) Live Quietly: Holiness-Reflecting, Redemption-Displaying, and Mission-Advancing (17:30) Testify Loudly (17:30) The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

Kiss the Fire: 7 Ways to Get Back Up When You Want to Give Up

"Read by the author. When life turns up the heat and everything inside of you wants to give up, will you face the flames? Will you keep the faith? Will you keep fighting until God does the miraculous? Pastor Shawn Johnson found himself asking these questions after he received a devastating diagnosis that made him want to give up on everything, including his faith and his future. The turning point for Shawn was a phone call from a friend and UFC fighting coach who told him that this situation was not going to steal his joy, take away his peace, or change his calling. Instead, he said, "You're going to kiss this fire and walk away whistling." The phrase "kiss the fire" doesn't imply that it won't get hot from time to time. It's not saying there won't be hard days. It's a declaration that you're choosing not to give up and has become Shawn's battle cry. It acknowledges that you can get through this and will be stronger on the other side. Kiss the Fire will inspire you to trust that God is present and to tap into that inner fighter spirit. In Kiss the Fire Shawn shares - the three reasons why you should keep fighting and refuse to give up, - seven strategies you need in order to kiss the fire and walk away whistling, and - how to experience the amazing plans God has for you even when you have no idea what those might be. This book is a lifeline. If you or a loved one are struggling to hold on, Pastor Shawn will show you how to face spiritual, physical, and emotional battles with determination and tenacity. It will give you the faith, the encouragement, and the tools you need to persevere through whatever you are going through, so that one day you can look back and with all sincerity say, "Thank God I didn't give up, because look what God has done!""

Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins

"BFreedom From The Seven Deadly Sins is a concise yet powerful exploration of the human condition through the lens of Scripture. Originally adapted from Billy Graham's impactful radio sermons, the book dives deeply into the seven cardinal sins--pride, anger, envy, impurity, gluttony, laziness, and greed. Graham unpacks each sin with clarity and compassion, illustrating its damaging effects on individuals and society. The book doesn't just diagnose these spiritual maladies; it offers actionable steps, rooted in biblical wisdom, for overcoming these destructive patterns and embracing God's transformative grace. The resurgence of interest in topics like morality, spirituality, and self-help creates fertile ground for revisiting the concept of the seven deadly sins. Current trends reveal: - Moral Anxiety: In a world grappling with rapid cultural shifts, many seek a moral compass to navigate issues like greed, vanity, and anger. - Renewed Interest in Ancient Wisdom: Platforms like podcasts, blogs, and social media are reviving interest in traditional virtues and vices, often using secularized or philosophical approaches. - Mental Health Focus: Pride, envy, and anger frequently appear as underlying factors in discussions on anxiety, depression, and relational breakdowns. The book's straightforward, biblically grounded approach makes it accessible for a wide range of readers, but the deeper philosophical and theological reflections are likely to resonate more strongly with adults who are at a stage of life where they are engaging with their spiritual journey in a meaningful way. This book is perfect for: - Readers seeking spiritual growth and clarity amidst modern moral dilemmas. - Faith-based counselors and church leaders looking for discussion material. - Individuals who feel burdened by guilt and seek a redemptive path forward. By blending biblical truth with relatable insights, Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins equips readers to break free from the snares of sin and step into the abundant life God desires for them. Billy Graham's approach uniquely combines timeless Christian principles with practical guidance, providing readers a hopeful and redemptive path forward. Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins now includes a special Pray the Scriptures section with specially chosen verses to help readers overcome the grip of the seven deadly sins and find God's help and direction, along with the hope and freedom they need to live in peace. Scriptures for prayer and steps to peace with God can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America

"Misogyny is not a thing of the past. Despite undeniable progress for women and girls in the 20th and 21st centuries, misogyny persists in our culture--often in ways that are more subtle and more insidious than the outright sexism of the past, and in spaces that we overlook or excuse as normative. If we hope to disrupt and eventually heal from misogyny, we must first be able to identify and understand it. Misogyny has shape-shifted through the generations while maintaining a consistent through-line. It blinds individuals and cultures from seeing women as equal image-bearers, fosters hierarchies rather than partnerships, disdains vulnerability, and prevents all of us from fully thriving. For the Love of Women relies on in-depth research, interviews, biblical concepts, and personal stories to explore how misogyny continues to impact six spheres of contemporary culture: healthcare, legal and judicial, the workplace, media and entertainment, religious institutions, and intimate relationships. While the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements succeeded in raising consciousness and initiating important changes connected to misogynistic practices, we still have much work to do. Misogyny is not confined to the director's couch in Hollywood or certain old-boy networks. It's everywhere. And misogyny is neither morally neutral nor random. It's pernicious and calculated. Like other deeply rooted, systemic injustices, we may never be able to eradicate misogyny this side of heaven. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. For the Love of Women will educate, inspire, and empower women and men to affect real change for everyone's benefit."
