Take Courage: Audio Bible Studies: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion

When you take a look at our world today, it often seems as if society is imitating the decline of ancient Israel. In a historical blink of an eye, we are shedding old beliefs and grasping for new ones. What was unthinkable two decades ago is acceptable today. Yes, the world around us is changing . . . but the story of Elijah offers us hope. He shows us that one person praying to a living God is greater than 850 people praying to a dead one. He shows us how to find faith in a whitewater torrent of odd gods and bad odds. Elijah's story is a field manual on how to thrive during a spiritual drought. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, you will explore his story and be reminded to: - Wait for God in solitude and silence - Pray impossible prayers - Live with an expectation of divine disruption - Turn to God during emotional lows - Understand the spiritual battle we fight Elijah's story will help calm your fears and guide your steps. Faith in our living God stirs a force for living life. With God's help and following Elijah's encouraging example, you will discover strength to ride the storm of this turbulent life with a steadfast faith. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life

When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. 'Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind' (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! In Tame Your Thoughts, Max explores three key thought-management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap us. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind. Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Readers will learn to - take thoughts captive, - test each message against the truth of Scripture, - interrupt poisonous thought threads, and - think and act like Jesus. If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness? Take God at his word. 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind' (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, the reader will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge. We can tame each thought, friends.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

This study was born in a hard season—a pandemic that locked down the world. Church doors closed. Students were stuck at home. Masks hid smiles. And as if this weren't enough, the ancient sin of racism and hatred seems to be trying to undo us. Many of us are left wondering if this season will ever pass. To all these things, God has a six-letter word of encouragement: E-S-T-H-E-R. The book that bears her name was written to be read in hard seasons. It was crafted for those who feel outnumbered by foes, outmaneuvered by fate, and outdone by fear. In the You Were Made for This Moment five-session audio Bible study, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado presents the story of Esther in all its drama, urgency, and hope. Esther's is a story that reaches out of the past to our present circumstances with a singular message: God is present, and he will act. It's a story that demands from us a singular response: what will we do when he does? Sessions include: - Cozy in the Culture (Esther 1:1–2:18) - A Moment of Decision (Esther 2:19–4:14) - Heaven Set in Motion (Esther 4:15–6:14) - The God of Great Turnarounds (Esther 7:1–8:17) - Remembering God's Faithfulness (Esther 9:1–10:3)

What Happens Next: A Traveler’s Guide Through the End of This Age

Are we living in the end times? If so, what does that mean for me? Max Lucado's optimistic, accessible, and non-sensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's timeline will empower readers to face the future with faith. Seven years of chaos called the Tribulation. A cruel and cunning Antichrist. The dreaded battle of Armageddon. These images and ideas associated with prophecy can be stimulating but also unnecessarily scary. Max Lucado believes God wants us to be prepared, not scared. In his first book exploring the end of this age, Max provides a wise, well-researched, and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety. Max explores four big ideas that will provide a solid foundation for understanding God's plans and will remind us that we are headed to a far better place than where we started. He explains that - we were made to reign with Christ; - God has made and will keep his promises; - heaven has a timeline; and - a golden era, the millennium, awaits God's children. In a world filled with political tension, personal trials, and international turbulence, we find ourselves drawn to exploring what happens next on heaven's timeline. Whether readers find themselves in the 'I can't wait,' 'I'm almost ready,' or 'I'm not sure about all of this' camp, they will be encouraged to ponder God's plans and promises for the future. In Max's signature encouraging style, he reminds us, 'It's all about hope. It's all about him.'

What Happens Next: Audio Bible Studies: A Traveler’s Guide through the End of This Age

Do you view the events of the end of the age through the eyes of fear or through the eyes of faith and hope? In this audio Bible study, Max Lucado provides a wise and reassuring overview of what God's word has to say on the topic of end times-so that you can be prepared, not scared. Why think about the end times at all? Why occupy your thoughts with the 'not yet' when you have enough to deal with in the 'right now'? The answer is simple: because Jesus focused on the end times. So, if Jesus made the end times a priority, it only makes sense that his followers would as well. God has told us what to expect from the end times not to scare you but to prepare you. He is like a pilot on the intercom telling the passengers about impending turbulence. A good pilot keeps his travelers informed. Your good Father does the same!

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails: Audio Bible Studies: Love is Born, Hope is Here

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails is a collection of two audio Bible studies for Christmas and Easter by Max Lucado. Because of Bethlehem Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it's like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we know he doesn't say, 'Clean up before you come in.' He offers, 'Come in and I'll clean you up.' Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record... just grace. In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will help you: - Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. - Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope. - Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done. - Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you. He Chose the Nails The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more. In this Easter season study, Max will help you: - Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. - Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. - Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him. - Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.

God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Lo

Read by the author. Ever wonder if you've stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God's unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion? If your answer is yes, it's time for you to see how God's grace transformed Jacob's life. And if you feel undeserving of God's grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God's perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things. God Never Gives Up on You is for the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel; we mean well, but we don't always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. But where can we find examples of God's steadfast grace? No one is more suited to help assure you of God's grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob. And he won't turn his back on you. If you are ready to start counting on God's grace and believe he never gives up on you, this book is for you. Discussion questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
