Multigenerational Church Crisis
$24.99Harness the strengths of every generation to create a church that endures
– open the lines of communication
– appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church
– unite in one mission to impact your community and the worldIt may seem hard for younger Christians to believe that people over 50 were raised during an era when 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. These older believers were once part of a majority group that understood the mission of the church was to take control of our culture to halt its evils. At the same time, Christians under 50 have lived their entire lives perceiving themselves as a minority that needs to make credible their faith to a secular, pluralistic culture.
These distinct experiences and perceptions have a profound impact on the priorities different generations have for church ministry. It’s no wonder that younger and older believers don’t always see eye to eye! But imagine what could be accomplished in the name of Christ if we could better understand each other and turn that understanding into shared purpose and aligned priorities?
Backed by thorough research, this eminently practical and hopeful book from pastor and scholar Bryan Chapell shows you how to open the lines of communication, appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church, and unite in one mission to impact your community and the world.

Becoming The Pastors Wife
$24.99As a pastor’s wife for twenty-five years, Beth Allison Barr has lived with assumptions about what she should do and who she should be.
In Becoming the Pastor’s Wife, Barr draws on that experience and her academic expertise to trace the history of the role of the pastor’s wife, showing how it both helped and hurt women in conservative Protestant traditions. While they gained an important leadership role, it came at a deep cost: losing independent church leadership opportunities that existed throughout most of church history and strengthening a gender hierarchy that prioritized male careers.
Barr examines the connection between the decline of female ordination and the rise of the role of pastor’s wife in the evangelical church, tracing its patterns in the larger history (ancient, medieval, Reformation, and modern) of Christian women’s leadership. By expertly blending historical and personal narrative, she equips pastors’ wives to better advocate for themselves while helping the church understand the origins of the role as well as the historical reality of ordained women.

Live Free Bible Study Book With Video Access
$36.65We long for peace, to have lives marked by freedom from difficulty and pain. We look to countless places to fill this need-our possessions, relationships, intellect, spirituality, political affiliations, and so on. But, by relying on these things for freedom, we unintentionally make them our savior instead of Christ. This exchange leaves us enslaved to a false gospel and to the very things we hoped would set us free.
In this 8-session study on the book of Galatians, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson reveals that the struggle to fully embrace our freedom in Christ is not a new problem. Walking verse-by-verse through Paul’s letter, Elizabeth highlights how this letter teaches us that in the gospel alone do we gain what we desire-freedom from sin and freedom to experience true peace, living the abundant life Jesus offers.
Features:?
*7 weeks of personal study to be completed between 8 group sessions
*8 videos, approximately 30 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
*Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups

AI Shepherds And Electric Sheep
$24.99Since ChatGPT burst into the public consciousness in 2022, AI has thoroughly infiltrated everyday life. Machines can now take on work once thought to be solely the domain of human beings–from writing college essays to composing worship music. How should Christians respond to this brave new technology?
In this accessible introduction to AI, Sean O’Callaghan and Paul Hoffman explore its social and ethical impacts for ministry and teaching. The authors shed light on the biblical vision for human flourishing–and on how AI can help or hinder that flourishing. Avoiding both alarmism and uncritical acceptance, O’Callaghan and Hoffman offer resources and practical tools for using AI in our classrooms and congregations.
AI can write a generic three-point sermon, but it cannot replace an authentic encounter between humans and the divine. In a time of cultural confusion, O’Callaghan and Hoffman encourage readers to embrace the clarity found in the gospel.

Heart Of The Preacher
$18.99“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.” –1 Timothy 4:16
*Understand the greatest threats to your preaching
*Identify common tests of your character
*Learn gospel-based habits that guard your heartPreachers cannot separate themselves from their preaching. Every time a preacher proclaims the word, something of themselves is also delivered to the congregation–for better or worse.
In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed draws from over three decades of preaching experience to emphasize how preachers must prepare their hearts before they are ready to preach. Sermon preparation involves more than mere technical steps. Preachers are people. Exhaustion, discouragement, insecurity, and more threaten a preacher’s character, and thus their preaching. Reed equips pastors with practices and habits to face these threats. Preachers must guard their lives so that their teaching will be accompanied by the fruit of the Spirit.

Gathered For Good
$17.99We live in a season when church attendance is still building back to what it was before the pandemic. Many Christians have been separated from their church communities. How do we resume and re-prioritize church life and join back together? Why do we even need to-especially when online church fits so neatly around our schedules? Gathered for Good addresses this felt need with empathy and authority and encourage believers to commit to their local church community as a way to deepen their spiritual growth and invest in treasure that will last.
Jonathan Griffiths offers a path that calls Christians to “gather.” As believers, Jonathan reminds us that God’s design for our lives is to gather to serve, to give, to commit, and several other reasons that are discussed powerfully. But above all, God’s gift to his people is that gathering is for our own good.
