Let's Talk about Sex Most people are curious about sex and would love a few answers. "Are we normal?" "Why isn't my spouse as interested in sex as I am?" "I don't want to feel pressured, but don't want to disappoint my spouse either—what do I do?" "How do we handle the impact of medication, menopause, porn, ED, pain . . . ?" Most importantly: "How can we get on the same page and create a thriving intimate life?" Sex is one of the most common marriage issues (for example, almost 80% of couples are mismatched in how often they want it), but it doesn't have to be that way. Relationship researcher Shaunti Feldhahn and renowned sex therapist Dr. Michael Sytsma have identified eight simple, transformational factors to help you move from disconnection to delight. This is knowledge you can trust, based on vast clinical experience and their breakthrough research, including the largest nationally representative study ever conducted with married couples about sex. This book is not a "sex manual"; it is a fascinating, practical field guide that will help you intimately understand your spouse and create the marriage you've always wanted.Ver livro
God Won't Leave You There is a powerful reminder that God has a plan for your life, even when things are tough and seem hopeless. Drawing from the story of Joseph, rediscover how God can lift you from your pit to fulfill a glorious purpose, convert your struggles into strength, and lead you through perceived detours the destiny He planned all along. Could it be that God has an ultimate purpose for our trials and hardships? Could it be that we, like Joseph, are in the process of becoming a reflection of Jesus? God Won't Leave You There is an inspiring and moving guide for anyone navigating life's deepest struggles. Drawing profound lessons from the biblical story of Joseph, Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright weave together Scripture, personal testimonies of hardship, and the unwavering hope found in God's promises. Anne's life was suddenly changed by the tragic death of her husband of forty-nine years, then followed three years later by a totally unexpected cancer diagnosis. Rachel-Ruth's life was forever changed by two back-to-back rare SCAD heart-attacks. These events occurred when both Anne and Rachel-Ruth were faithfully serving their heavenly Father and seeking to make Him known through lives of service to Him. Through it all, they learned these valuable lessons about God:We can trust His placement.We can trust His promises.We can trust His path.We can trust His plan. If you find yourself on a path of suffering that is made even more painful because you feel you've done nothing wrong and struggle with injustice, look in the shadows. Jesus has been there; He is there with you. He is not surprised or frightened as He grips your hand to lead you forward. No matter how desperate we find ourselves in this broken world, we can rest in the God who is trustworthy, knowing He won't leave us there!Ver livro
In this audio Bible study, 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. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. Lust and frequent “casual” sex are far more common than purity and a healthy married sex life. 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 study, Groeschel’s WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life. Sessions include: The God Kind of Weird (16:30)It’s Time to Be Weird (17:30)Weird That Money Can’t Buy (17:30)Pleasing God is Weird (16:30)Weird Makes You Truly Sexy (17:00)The Weirdest Blessing Possible (17:30) Coordinating study guide available separately. 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.Ver livro
Rediscover the essential beginning of the most important story ever told. Although the Bible contains sixty-six books that usually span over a thousand printed pages, most Christians turn first—and sometimes only—to the New Testament. So often, Christian readers have little idea what to do with the Old Testament, if we read it at all. Sure, we value a few well-known stories and use a few psalms for personal devotions and for worship. Beyond that, many Christians find the Old Testament mostly confusing, troubling, or irrelevant. But to understand the Bible as the grand story that it is—the story of God’s dealings with humanity and relationship to the whole universe—we must learn to read the first three-quarters of Scripture as Jesus did, and as the New Testament teaches us to do. Walking through the arc and major themes of the Old Testament narrative, author and biblical scholar Timothy J. Geddert guides curious readers of the Word into a fruitful and fulfilling reading of the Bible’s first thirty-nine books, restoring joy in reading and studying the most important story ever told.Ver livro
Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name. When God calls, the artist listens. Featuring stories based on the following artists: Genesius of Rome, James Tissot, Gabrielle Bossis, Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Dorothea Sayers, and Tony Fontane. Performed by a Full Cast: Emma Faye, Adam Skousen, Ana Clements, Richard Crossman, A.J. Shuck, Lillian Rachel, Mike Lenz, Lance Danton, PJ Freebourn, Lisa Negrón, Judith Bareham, Ian Lahlum, Cutler Hollist, Julie Hinton, Ali Gifford, Charlotte Chiew, Riley Bishop, Tucker Bishop, Dane McLean, Rocky McLean, and Emma JoAnnVer livro
Our culture wants you to be happy. It rewards those who smile through the pain, who pretend everything's fine, who compartmentalize grief and get on with life. But everything's not fine. And God does not expect us to pretend it is. He wants all of us—including our pain. Perhaps nowhere in Scripture do we get as full a picture of the heights and depths of the human experience as in the Psalms. The outpourings of emotion never shy away from the darkest moments of life, and yet they also point toward the light—toward the God in whom we place our hope. Inspired by Psalm 37, Voices of Lament is a powerful collection of reflections from Christian Women of Color on themes of injustice, heartache, and deep suffering. Their essays, prayers, poems, and liturgies lay bare the experiences of the oppressed even as they draw us into deeper intimacy with God and a more fulsome understanding of each other. For anyone who longs to better express and understand the beauty of lament held in holy tension with hope and love, this extraordinary collection presents both well-known and new voices from various ethnic and people groups and different generations, putting God's faithfulness on full and glorious display.Ver livro
