Study Summary:
Discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions. 

The Enemy is constantly seeking to fill your mind with destructive and harmful thoughts—whether of fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy. . . . It’s all too easy for Satan to manipulate his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and Jesus, and to try making himself at home in your mind.  It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win! 

In Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio shares practical ways to overcome the Enemy’s lies and instead find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation.  By drawing from Psalm 23 as a framework, he offers biblical insight on how to . . .

• Cancel the lies that will wreck your life.
• Take empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ.
• Stop the spiral of shame, temptation, and insecurity.
• Restore peace and rest in your life.
• Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances.
• Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking.

You can find freedom from the war inside your mind—if you allow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle.  Learn how to find encouragement, hope, and strength no matter what valleys you face.  It’s time to reject the lies and listen to the truth.

Best selling author, Bob Goff, shares what it truly mean to love everybody the way Jesus loved them -- without fear, insecurity or restriction.  Following Christ means more than just putting a toe in the water when it comes to loving others.  It means grabbing your knees & doing a cannonball!  And, as Jesus revealed, it means loving the difficult ones.  This study will provide practical steps to help you take that journey.

Study Summary:  
Fear. Rejection. Addiction. Anger. Comfort...Must Fall.

It’s likely you have a threatening giant in your life…an adversary or stronghold that’s diminishing your ability to live a full and free life. Frozen in the grip of rejection, fear, anger, comfort, or addiction, we lose sight of the promise God has for our lives. Demoralized and defeated, we settle for far less than his best.

God has a better plan for you, a plan for you to live in victory. That’s why he has silenced your giant once and for all.

In Goliath Must Fall, pastor Louie Giglio uncovers a newfound twist in the classic story of David and Goliath. The key to living free from our giants is not better slingshot accuracy, but keeping our eyes on the one and only giant-slayer—Jesus. Put your hope in him and watch Goliath fall.

Study Summary:
Are you ready to move from insecure to God secure? From regret riddled to better-because-of-it? From afraid to die to ready to fly? Today, find freedom in God’s grace.

We often talk about grace, but do we really understand it? Grace politely occupies a phrase in a hymn and fits nicely on a church sign. It never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, “Do you believe in grace?” who could say no? Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado helps us dive deeper into what it means to be changed by grace. God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you.

In this study, you will learn:

• Grace is everything Jesus
• You belong to Jesus
• Jesus lives in you
• You will increasingly grow more like Jesus
• There is nothing you can do to get grace—grace gets you

Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Have you been shaped, emboldened, and softened by grace? Let’s make certain grace gets you.

Study Summary:
The core idea of Romans is that we are saved by grace, through faith.

When we truly understand the power of grace, it sets us free from having to do good, so that we can do good. There's no more have to, instead there's I can do.

In this study, Lucado focuses on several important themes in the book of Romans:

• The reality, danger, and power of sin – the deepest problem humans face (Romans 1-2).
• God's grace, which is real, amazing, available to all (Romans 3-5).
• God has set us free, but the battle with sin continues – becoming like Jesus demands continual surrender (Romans 6-8).
• We are a part of God's beautiful story – creation, fall, redemption, and restoration (Romans 9-11).
• Christians follow in Jesus' footsteps by humbly serving and sacrificially loving others (Romans 12-13).
• Christ-followers are called to live in fellowship with each other (Romans 14-16).

Study Summary:
How often do you feel pressure to conform to things that don’t match your biblical beliefs?  Do you sometimes find yourself hesitant to take a strong public stand for God, afraid that your beliefs will be belittled?

As the world’s values drift further and further away from God’s Word, we face more and more temptations to compromise our faith, or we simply find it difficult to live out our beliefs because they are so counter to the culture we live in.

Have you ever felt pressured to make choices that don’t align with your values?  As the world’s values continue to drift, you need to be equipped with the biblical knowledge to handle whatever life throws at you.

The Unshakable series follows the life of Daniel and offers practical lessons from his story that will help you stand firm in your beliefs.  You’ll learn the same biblical principles that guided Daniel through difficult situations.  These principles will help you make godly choices when you feel pressured to conform in hostile circumstances.  You’ll learn how to publicly stand strong for God, and how to pray the kind of prayers that God answers.
