Do you find your faith is a little flat, or that the church hard
to connect with? Perhaps it s because you've inherited someone else
s Jesus: relying on what other people feel and say instead of
discovering the living Lord yourself. In this student edition of
Your Own Jesus, Mark Hall traces what can happen when you
accidentally make a spiritual compromise with the world, while
showing what can occur when believers like you experience authentic
fellowship with the one living God. Through personal stories,
scriptural insights, and discussion questions, Your Own Jesus
Student Edition will set you free to live without compromise with
the Jesus you'll come to know intimately and love fully."
Why are so many youth programs struggling to find depth in their
students' Christian walks? Why are so many students weak in their
faith and fleeing the church after graduation? Perhaps it's because
they have merely inherited someone else's Jesus. They've relied on
what their family, friends, or pastors have told them about Jesus
rather than discovering the living Lord themselves.A true
storyteller and a teacher with a heart for ministry, Mark Hall
traces the downward spiral caused by spiritual compromise with the
world, and then charts the upward road to wholeness and restoration
that comes when we claim our very own Jesus. When that happens,
believers experience authentic fellowship with the one living God.
Through fascinating personal stories, scriptural insights, and
discussion questions for practical interactive study, Your Own
Jesus---Student Edition will set readers free to live without
compromise with the Jesus they come to know intimately and love
fully.

You've probably heard the words 'Live out your faith' dozens, if
not hundreds, of times, but what does that phrase really mean? And
how do you really follow Jesus in today's world? In this student
adaptation of his book Thrive, Casting Crowns' Mark Hall explores
exactly what it means when your faith and your life collide, and
how you can take the next steps in making that faith real and
evident to those around you. Using relatable stories, applications
you can use, as well as some life lessons, Hall shows how you can
root yourself in the truth and grow strong in your beliefs as you
become the person God designed you to be.
Why are so many so close to the Well and still so thirsty? Mark
Hall takes the powerful story of the Woman at the Well and her
encounter with Jesus to help readers understand that the "wells" we
go to for life and sustenance, the "wells" of success, talent,
control, favor, religion, etc., are keeping us from relying on
Jesus and his abundant life, and we will never be truly satisfied
until we realize that and go to Him for our needs.
Casting Crowns' lead singer Mark Hall asks, "Do you have your own
Jesus?" Why do you feel close to God one minute and so far away the
next? Why does your faith seem empty? Why is it so easy to
compromise with the world? Perhaps it's because we have merely
inherited someone else's Jesus, relying on what we've seen and
heard from family, friends, or pastors. A true storyteller and a
teacher with a heart for ministry, Mark Hall traces the downward
spiral caused by spiritual compromise with the world, and then
charts the upward road to wholeness and health that comes when we
claim our very own Jesus. You need to discover your own Jesus. The
real Jesus. The one who wants you to be honest, committed, and
uncompromising. The one who is waiting to have a relationship with
you. Move past imitating a religion to experiencing a relationship
that is vibrant, personal, and fulfilling.
The early church didn't have fancy buildings. They hadn't attended
any church growth seminars. All they had was a simple faith, a
determination to serve God with absolute abandonment, and a resolve
to work together in unqualified unity to achieve the purposes of
God. That church grew from 120 to over 5,000 in a matter of days.
Their Christ-like character and their godly lifestyle allowed for
the power of God to flow through them in their message and their
ministry. The fruit of their lives bore the fruit of souls for the
Kingdom of God. That's the way it is meant to work. Today's church
is different. We have beautiful church buildings. We have the New
Testament teachings in our Bibles. Workshops and seminars on how to
grow a church and to be effective in evangelism are available to us
continuously. Still, when we look at the impact of our lives and
our churches we pale in comparison to that of the early church
fathers. Fruit Loose and Fancy Tree offers biblical truths and
principles that, when applied, will align our character and
lifestyle with that of Christ's. When we are consistent in the
application of these principles, the anointing of Christ will be
released through our lives to fulfil the purpose we have been given
as a church. That purpose is to bear spiritual fruit for the
Kingdom and glory of God. We need to forget the fancy and bear the
fruit. Tim has been in full time ministry since 1984. While most of
those years have been in the pastorate Tim spent nearly five years
in itinerant ministry, preaching and teaching Kingdom principles
that would increase the church's impact on the community. Recently
he and his wife founded Pillars of Wisdom Christian Ministries.
