  Katharine Barnwell - How One...

  What if Mother Teresa or Billy Graham lived and worked — and nobody knew their names? What if one of the church’s most influential missionaries went almost unnoticed?Meet Katharine (Katy) Barnwell. Within Bible translation, she’s a legend. Outside of Bible translation, few have heard of her. But not even Billy Graham holds a candle to what God did through Katy.From hiding as a child from Nazi bombing raids, fleeing civil wars, and remaining calm under terrorist attacks and armed gunmen, to utterly revolutionizing every field she touched, Barnwell’s life proves there is no need to treat the missionary hall of fame as if its ranks are closed. On the contrary, her kingdom labor reveals that God is still in the business of raising up contemporary “greats” who are willing to face danger, go the distance, lift up God’s Word in unprecedented ways, and see the lost turn to Christ in droves. In fact, there may be no “great” in all of church history who matches Barnwell’s level of influence. All around the world, hundreds of millions of new believers read and hear Scripture in their own language because of Barnwell’s work, books, and language training. By some estimates, about 3,000 completed or in-process Bible translations swim directly downstream of her work. Since she rebuilt The Jesus Film Project’s methods, more than 300 million viewers around the world have become followers of Jesus. Given such accomplishments, one might expect Barnwell to be arrogant or aloof, and yet those who know her best report sweet surprise at how warm, endearing, patient, and feisty she is.Her African colleagues call her Mama Katy, and such a name is fitting. She is truly the mother of modern Bible translation and the mother of twenty-first-century missions.

  Threaded: Audio Bible Studies -...

  Have you found your place in God's story? 
  God's story is a divine tapestry, intricately woven with intention from the beginning. Every thread connects the past, present, and future, revealing a Creator who intimately leans into your brokenness and chaos to bring redemption. From the first moments of creation, when God's Spirit hovered over the waters, a plan full of shalom—wholeness and harmony—was set into motion. Humanity once walked in communion with God, but when we deviated from His design, sin began to unravel the beauty. Yet God's love and plan never wavered. 
  Through the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic Covenants, we see God's faithfulness and His desire to restore creation. These promises build toward fulfillment in Jesus Christ and invite us to weave our lives into God's larger narrative. 
  This six-week Bible study by author and pastor Tara Beth Leach explores these sacred threads, helping you see God's redemptive hand in your life. No matter where you are in the story, there's a place for you in His plans for restoration and renewal. 
  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.

  Give yourself permission to slow down. 
   
   
   
  Jodi Grubbs did not give herself permission for too long, falling headlong into the endless rush and exhaustion of hustle culture. After leaving her childhood home on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean, she had assumed the rapid pace and stress of city living in the States. Soon she realized God was bidding her to a return to the "island time" of her past. 
   
   
   
  In time Jodi found sanctuary and ways to care for her soul by making space for God, others, and herself. Evoking the contentment she once had in the gentle rhythms of Bonaire, she learned of another path: a path away from burnout and toward restoration. And she invites you, too, to grasp a sustainable approach to life anchored by the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an openhandedness before God. Each chapter offers slow-living shifts to help you put the concepts into practice. Begin to rest and let go of the need to keep up, as you learn to live slowly.

  Matthew 13:31-32 
  The Parable of the Mustard Seed  
  Jesus gave them another parable and said, “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a grain of mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.” 
  “It is the smallest of seeds; but when it is grown it is one of the largest trees even, so the birds of the air come and build nests and lodge in its branches.”

  Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift. 
   
  Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies to deal with them--usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them? 
   
  In this beautifully illustrated collection of prayers and liturgies, spiritual director Anjuli Paschall helps you move from being stuck in your feelings to a place of peace by  
   
  · identifying and giving you words for every emotion--the good, the confusing, and the complicated--helping you name exactly what you feel  
  · offering you 75 prayers to pray--one for every feeling  
  · providing Scripture for every emotion  
   
  Feel is a resource to guide you throughout your day and offer you hope, wisdom, and courage through some of the most challenging seasons of your life. Instead of navigating around your feelings, allow them to guide you toward healing, wholeness, and abiding connection with God. And then, you will begin to see how feelings are a doorway into intimacy with a Savior who loves you.
