  Which are you...striving for perfect, or settled and present?   
  You can't be both.   
  We’re all pushing for something, for the life we think we want. We strive and strain and orchestrate and negotiate, in hopes of stitching together an existence that satisfies, but in the end, all that forced movement, all that contrived exertion, leaves us writhing in pain, in agony, right inside the reality we ourselves created. The pain shows up in addiction. Or in a string of failed relationships. It shows up in overeating, overdrinking, overspending, overfunctioning, over-everything. 
  In Present Over Perfect, Shauna Niequist invites us to consider the landscape of our life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present. In this six-week study, you will answer some vital questions: Have you become someone you wouldn’t want to be around?Are you longing for connection but settling for busy?What sacrifices are you making in order to play the role you find yourself playing?What “no” do you have to say when you say yes? Is this a wise thing to say no to?What has your need for speed cost you along the way?What attitudes, expectations, neuroses, habits, and obligations would you have to upend in order to care more purposefully for your soul?  
  Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. Discover an entirely new way to live…soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most.  
  Sessions include:  Pain Points (23:00) The Roles We Play (20:00) Yes, and No (21:00) Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good (22:00) Living the Love (21:00)

  God's mission is for everyone, every day. 
   
   
   
  In the midst of societal disruption and disillusionment, we're seeing signs of a new season of God bringing people into renewal and revival. Jesus is the Sent One who invites us to become like him and live as sent people. God is leading us into a new normal where all of us—not just the professionals—can encounter him and experience his work. 
   
   
   
  Apostolic mission leaders Linson Daniel, Jon Hietbrink, and Eric Rafferty reveal God's invitation into everyday mission in the way of Jesus. Though Christians may be discouraged by various challenges, this season holds opportunities for experiencing God's movement in fresh ways among unlikely people. 
   
   
   
  With biblical insights into how Jesus and the early church lived, the authors invite us into four Es of reviving mission: Encountering God, Exploring what he's doing all around us, Empowering those he sends us to, and Establishing communal rhythms of transforming habits and habitats. 
   
   
   
  This model of holistic mission brings together the person of God, postures of redemption, and practices of engagement in a way that equips ordinary people for transformation and renewal.

  An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund
  Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul's most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.
  In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes—inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness—and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ's resurrection ushered in the new realm—one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God's power is intertwined with human weakness. 
  
  - Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include The Joy of Hearing; United to Christ, Walking in the Spirit; The Beginning of the Gospel; and more 
  - Ideal for Anyone Wanting to Study the Bible More Deeply: Perfect for pastors, seminarians, college students, and laypeople
  - Written by Dane C. Ortlund: Pastor and bestselling author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers and Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners

  The Everlasting Man - A Guide to...

  Among the many masterpieces of G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man is his crowning achievement. It was the book that set a young atheist named C.S. Lewis on the path toward Christianity. Evelyn Waugh called it “a permanent monument” that “needs no elucidation.” And its lively prose and compelling defense of Christianity have dazzled readers ever since.  But a little elucidation, it turns out, is needed. Chesterton’s presentation of the story of humanity and religion is filled with obscure literary, historical, mythological, philosophical, and theological references—most of which are largely lost on today’s readers. And Chesterton’s paradoxical and apparently wandering style proves, at times, disorienting to newcomers.  In this groundbreaking guide—the first of its kind—one of the world’s leading authorities on Chesterton walks readers through the entirety of this great apologist’s text. Complete with an introduction, footnotes, and running commentary, Dale Ahlquist’s tour through Chesterton’s classic will draw new readers into his literary world—and old readers even deeper into his literary genius.

  Grace

  Grace stopped to catch her breath and look over her shoulder. Her misfortune began when she’d seen her boss shoot his partner and had run to St. Louis as a mail-order bride. If that wasn’t bad enough, her groom-to-be was a monster. She grimaced and pulled a briar from her hand. A quick look down the street proved they were still coming after her. 
  She rounded the corner of the depot and prayed the train was ready to depart. She looked for a friendly face in the crowd. A man twenty feet ahead turned at that moment and looked right at her. She ran to him, grabbed his arm, and walked with him onto the train. Time would tell if she’d found safety or made another poor choice.
