Do you ever wonder, "Why doesn't God answer my prayers?" Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Are you tired of playing it safe with your faith? In Dangerous Prayers, New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel helps you unlock your greatest potential and tackle your greatest fears by praying stronger, more passionate prayers that lead you into a deeper faith. Prayer moves the heart of God--but some prayers move Him more than others. He wants more for us than a tepid faith and half-hearted routines at the dinner table. He's called you to a life of courage, not comfort. This book will show you how to pray the prayers that search your soul, break your habits, and send you to pursue the calling God has for you. But be warned: if you're fine with settling for what's easy, or you're OK with staying on the sidelines, this book isn't for you. You'll be challenged. You'll be tested. You'll be moved to take a long, hard look at your heart. But you'll be inspired, too. You'll be inspired to pray boldly. To pray powerfully. To pray with fire.

You'll discover the secret to overcome fears of loss, rejection, failure, and the unknown and welcome the blessings God has for you on the other side. You'll gain the courage it takes to pray dangerous prayers.
We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each
other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults
and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved,
warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other--and
especially from God.

You may be surprised how much we have in common with this guy. By looking at his life, you'll learn how to defeat the demons that make strong men weak. You'll become who God made you to be: A man who knows how to fight for what's right. And don't you dare show up for this fight unarmed. Learn how to fight with faith, with prayer, and with the Word of God It's time to fight like a man. For God's Sake, FIGHT.

In the Think Ahead Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Craig draws on the truth of Scripture and the latest research in human behavior to reveal the power of making decisions in advance—what we might call “pre-deciding”—to position ourselves to make the choices we really want to make and avoid those choices that we do not want to make. In the process, he reveals: The science behind many of our decision-making habits How our small choices shape the kind of people we become Practical steps we can employ to combat decision fatigue How to develop the ability to diminish the role of emotions in decision-making Are you ready to choose who you will become and live the life you really want to live?

In this small group Bible study DVD, WEIRD, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shatters normal and turns weird upside down. Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving.

And when it comes to God, the many believe, but few practice the teachings of Scripture in their everyday lives. Simply put, normal isn t working. In this six-session, video-based study, Groeschel s WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life. This DVD features six, 10 to 15-minute vignettes of teaching from Craig Groeschel, and is designed for use together with the WEIRD Participant Guide (sold separately).

In this twelve-lesson workbook, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel pairs modern psychology and biblical teaching to reveal how to win the war in your mind and restore daily peace in your life. What you think shapes who you are. If your thoughts are out of control, your life will be as well. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. In recent years, a discipline of psychology called cognitive behavioral therapy has gained popularity. This discipline is rooted in an understanding that many problems--from eating disorders to relational challenges, addictions, and even some forms of depression--are rooted in negative patterns of thinking. Treating those problems begins with changing that thinking. This has many parallels with Scripture. In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he writes about turning our thoughts to certain types of things (truth, purity, loveliness...) and putting them into practice so that we experience God's peace. In this workbook, Craig goes deeper into the principles outlined in his book (sold separately) to reveal the strategies he has discovered that will change your mind and, by extension, your life for the long-term. Each lesson includes biblical exploration, reflection and application questions, and practical exercises to help you: Gain insight into how your brain works and how your thoughts affect your reality. Identify your destructive thought patterns and eliminate them from your life. Become a thought warrior and replace the enemy's lies with God's truth. God has something better for your life than your old ways of thinking. It's time to change your mind so God can change your life.
It has been rightly said that "Jesus is the hope of the world." While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that "the local church is the hope of the world." After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless. For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christ-both pastors and laypeople alike-to learn how to lead like it matters. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls "it." While exactly what "it" is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don't kill it): Sessions include: Vision Divine Focus Unmistakable Camaraderie Innovative Minds Willingness to Fall Short Hearts Focused Outward Kingdom-Mindedness Craig also unpacks three important realms that every leader must master: (1) prioritizing mindset over model, (2) creating systems that empower it, and (3) finding a balanced way to lead to stay centered around it. While adopting these seven factors and realms will not guarantee a church will have that "it" factor, it will certainly lead that church toward it. It will help all of us lead like it matters.
We all love the benefits of technology. But even with the upsides, many of us suspect there are negative consequences beyond our control. The more we interact online, the more we crave face-to-face intimacy. The more we compare ourselves with others, the less satisfied we are. The more filtered our lives become, the more challenging it is to be authentic. In this small group video-based study, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shows how we can stay engaged with social media while still keeping our eyes focused on Jesus. In five sessions, he reveals how we can rediscover our understanding of the biblical principles life with Christ brings-contentment, intimacy, authenticity, compassion, and rest-and put God first in our social media saturated world. This study guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for in between sessions. Sessions include: Recovering Contentment Restoring Intimacy Revealing Authenticity Resurrecting Compassion Replenishing Rest Designed for use with the Liking Jesus Video Study (sold separately). |
