The Abundant Life
Speaker: Bryan Apinis
Length: 2 Parts
Jesus once told his followers that he longed for them to have not just life, but abundant life—things like joy, peace, hope, belonging, purpose, freedom, and more. But if we’re honest, a lot of times we ask ourselves: where is all that stuff?
While the abundant life awaits us in eternity, there are opportunities for us to experience it in the here and now. But it takes going over a bridge that we don’t always want to cross.
Tensions
Speaker: Sarah Anderson and Reggie Sumpter
Length: 2 Parts
It’s no secret that there can be tension between what our faith teaches us and what we see in culture. What do you do when faith and culture are at odds? It’s easy to distance ourselves from culture or to be overly critical. But Jesus modeled a better way.
The Bible for Grown-Ups
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 4 Parts
As children, many of us received a Bible and were told everything in it was true. Then we grew up. What was oh-so-simple then is…well, it’s not simple. Perhaps that’s because we were taught Bible stories but not the story of the Bible.
The Expectation Gap
Speaker: Steve Cuss
Length: 4 Parts
There’s a space between what we believe about God and what we actually experience. In The Expectation Gap, Steve Cuss shows how shame, fear, and striving fill that space—and how God invites us to something better. Together we’ll learn to slow down, pay attention, and live with a deeper sense of God’s love, presence, and peace.
The Fundamental List
Speaker: Andy Stanley and Joel Thomas
Length: 8 Parts
With so many denominations and opinions on what it means to be a Christian, it can be difficult to determine what is fundamental to the faith. In this series, we'll look at what's essential—and what's not—when it comes to following Jesus.
The Last Kingdom
Speaker: Andy Stanley & Joel Thomas
Length: 5-Parts
We know from history all kingdoms fade—except for one, the kingdom ushered into the world through Jesus. But what is this kingdom, and where is it?
The Response of a Lifetime
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 4 Parts
The life of Joseph, explores the idea of choosing our response regardless of circumstances. Despite the circumstances Joseph was put into, he consistently responds with faith instead of bitterness, showing that God’s presence is not dependent on comfort or success. The series challenges us to trust God even when life feels unfair, confusing, or out of control, and to live as though God is still working behind the scenes.
Three Prayers
Speaker: Sandra Stanley
Length: 1 Part
None of us want to look like we’re one kind of person but really be someone else underneath. Drifting away from God happens slowly, and it can be hard to notice when it’s happening to us. In this 1-part study, Sandra Stanley shares three prayers that are key to keeping us from being people who are not truly the people we appear to be. These three prayers can shape our relationship with God and become a defense against drift. They will shape who we are and can inform the choices we make in life.
Titus and Philemon
Speaker: Jamey Dickens
Length: 2 Parts
In Paul’s letters to Titus and Philemon, we’ll discover how Paul addressed specific situations that two of his friends had encountered and how their faith should direct their responses. Much of what he told his friends still applies to us today.
To the Ends of the Earth
Speakers: Jamey Dickens, Rahul Agarwal, and Joel Thomas
Length: 3 Parts
In Acts 1:8, Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” But how do we do that, exactly?
Too Good to Miss
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 4 Parts
Some things in life are too important to pass us by. Often, we don’t realize it until it’s too late. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Regardless of your season of life, there’s a better way forward.
Under the Circumstances
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 4 Parts
When life doesn’t turn out the way we hope, it can cause us to doubt God’s goodness. But it’s often in the midst of our circumstances that we begin to better understand God’s presence.
Welcome the Wilderness
Speaker: Clay Scroggins
Length: 3 Parts
The wilderness is that disorienting season of time you’ve probably experienced when something changed externally that made you feel lost internally. The wilderness is scary and confusing. Why should you welcome it? Clay Scroggins explains.
What God is Really Like
Speaker: Clay Scroggins
Length: 3 Parts
What you think about when you think about God is more important than you could ever know. And getting life right is way harder when you’ve got God wrong.
What Makes You Happy
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 6 Parts
Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody is on a happiness quest. For many, happiness is measured in moments. Experiences. It's elusive. Unsustainable. This study explores the three things all happy people have in common and how these three things can be realities for you as well.
You’re Not Far
Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 8 Parts
For several decades after Jesus's death and resurrection, Peter told others about all of the firsthand experiences he had with Jesus. Later in life—possibly in prison and not sure of his future—Peter wanted to ensure that all of those stories were documented. So he asked his traveling companion, Mark, to write down not what he had heard or read—but what he had seen.
