In a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we're often tempted to do life alone, whether because we're so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we're experiencing an epidemic of loneliness.

- overcome the barriers to making new friends and learn to initiate with easy-to-follow steps
- find simple ways to press through awkward to get to authentic in conversations
- understand how conflict can strengthen relationships rather than destroy them
- identify the type of friend you are and the types of friends you need
- learn the five practical ingredients you need to have the type of friends you've always longed for

You were created to play, engage, adventure, and explore--with others. In Find Your People, you'll discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Because while the ache of loneliness is real, it doesn't have to be your reality.

A must-have resource for anyone looking to get control of their thoughts.--Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FINALIST - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY COSMOPOLITAN

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I'll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn't really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it's like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don't have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.

As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.

It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

Spinning, anxious thoughts can sometimes take over our minds and not let go, but we have the power to choose what to think and believe--and so do our children. In this edition for young readers, bestselling author Jennie Allen draws on the insights, truth, and experiences from her New York Times bestsellers Get Out of Your Head and Find Your People to help younger kids and tweens:

- trade fear, anxiety, loneliness, and shame for God's love and peace
- learn how to notice lies and believe what's true
- hit pause on negative thoughts and retrain their brains to think life-giving thoughts
- gain tools to rely on God's power and truth every day

Kids don't have to be at the mercy of toxic input and negative thoughts. In these pages, they'll discover exactly how to interrupt swirling thought patterns, develop better friendships, and create new day-to-day habits that will lead them closer to God and to a life of peace, joy, and love. You Are Not Alone includes questions, action steps, Bible verses, and real-life stories to help them be who God has called them to be.

This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling.--Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of the Becoming Something podcast

How often have you heard, Don't let your emotions get the best of you? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others?

Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing.

In Untangle Your Emotions, Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you

● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it
● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others
● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as emotional or not
● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God's love and compassion for you

Feelings aren't something to fix; they are something to feel. As we discover how to name and navigate our emotions, we'll learn how they can draw us closer to the God who built us--soul, mind, and heart.

Your emotions are a gift from God.

Most of us have been taught some damaging lessons about our emotions. Does the Bible really tell us that our emotions are untrustworthy? Were we meant to control and suppress our deepest feelings?

Learn what it means to live an emotionally healthy life with Jennie Allen as she guides you through your own tangled up emotions and helps you discover how they actually help you notice what's wrong and connect with God and others more deeply.

Do you live for something? Or do you feel like you're just waiting to find your purpose?

Many of us feel restless, but that might not be a bad thing. When our restlessness awakens our longing to be woven into God's story, it can launch us into living the life of purpose God designed for us.

In Restless, Bible study teacher and bestselling author Jennie Allen will help you discover a practical plan to identify the loose threads of your life and how to weave them together for God's glory and purpose.

Jennie uses the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis to explain how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater tapestry of God's narrative--and how our story can do the same. In this book you will:

• Explore practical ways to identify the threads of your life.
• Learn how to intentionally weave those threads together.
• Discover how your gifts, passions, places, and relationships are deliberate and meaningful, not random.
• Speak the truth about your suffering: it's possible it has produced the very thing you want to give back to the world.

What would happen if you spent the rest of your life running without reservation after His purposes for you?

Author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen invites us into a different experience, one in which our souls overflow with contentment and joy. In Nothing to Prove she calls us to...

* Find freedom from self-induced pressure by admitting we're not enough--but Jesus is.
* Admit our greatest needs and watch them be filled by the only One who can meet them.
* Make it our goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what He does in and through us.

As you wade into the refreshing truth of the more-than-enough life Jesus offers, you'll experience the joyous freedom that comes to those who are determined to discover what God can do through a soul completely in love with Him.

Stopping the spiral of toxic thoughts.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen--the visionary behind the million-strong IF: Gathering--knows what it's like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: I'll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn't really love me.

We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it's the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ.

In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study (video access included), Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds.

This study guide includes:

• Individual access to six streaming video sessions
• Personal Bible studies and interactive projects
• Full Leader's Guide with tips and resources
• How to Find God personal salvation guide

What are you chasing?

Through deep Bible study and practical exercises with Jennie Allen, discover that God has carved out a space in each of us that only he can fill.

Are you doing everything right but still feel empty? Are you so busy doing things for God and everyone else that you altogether miss him? Do you ever, in your busy life, stop and see him, really see him?

Jennie Allen once felt paralyzed in her relationship with God. It occurred to her that maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe God was after something else. When she stumbled across the phrase in 1 Samuel 13, David was a man after God's own heart, she was intrigued. She knew David was both completely broken, and completely sold out for God.

David's life shatters our ideas of what God wants from us. In Chase, Jennie shows us a man who spent his life chasing after God, which points to several things we shouldn't be chasing:

• Don't chase self-worth by achieving more
• Don't chase freedom by protecting yourself
• Don't chase approval by being moral
• Don't chase satisfaction by rebelling
• Don't chase fulfillment. Chase God!

Whether you're running from God or working your tail off to please him, David's journey will challenge your view of God. He is the only thing we can chase that won't leave us feeling more empty.

The Chase Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the life of David to engage the mind and heart.

Are You Tired of Striving?

Too many of us walk through life feeling like we don't measure up. We always seem to thirst for more. We think if we could only work harder or be better, we could be enough. But the truth is, we will never be enough. Thankfully, we don't have to be.

In this eight-session video Bible study, Jennie Allen walks through key passages in the Gospel of John that demonstrate how Jesus is enough. We don't have to prove anything because Jesus has proven everything. Discover how our thirsty hearts can only be quenched by the living water.

This study guide includes:

• Individual access to eight streaming video sessions
• Personal Bible studies and interactive projects
• Full Leader's Guide with tips and resources
• How to Find God personal salvation guide

Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared--and in this revolutionary book from the bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head, you'll learn how embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions can bring freedom and healing in every area of your life.

Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal.

In this transformational look at our inner life through the lens of science and Scripture, Allen shows how, instead of managing and minimizing our difficult emotions, we can intentionally notice, name, and connect with our feelings in ways that lead to deeper connection and lasting health.

So many of us live stuck. Stuck trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but . . .

God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore it, to restore us.

Do you feel like you're just waiting to find your purpose? Do you want to live like you were made for more?

Many of us feel restless, and that might not be a bad thing. . . When our restlessness awakens our longing to be woven into God's story, it can launch us into living the life of purpose God designed for us.

In this video-based small group Bible study (DVD/video streaming sold separately), Bible study teacher and author of Get Out of Your Head Jennie Allen helps you discover a practical plan to identify the loose threads of your life and how to weave them together for God's glory and purposes.

Jennie uses the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis to explain how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater tapestry of God's narrative--and how our story can do the same. In this study you will:

• Explore practical ways to identify the threads of your life.
• Learn how to intentionally weave those threads together.
• Discover how your gifts, passions, places, and relationships aren't random; they're deliberate and meaningful.
• Speak the truth about your suffering: it's possible it has produced the very thing you want to give back to the world.

The Restless Study Guide engages the mind and heart through stories, Bible study from the life of Joseph, and Threads--a tool to help you see your own personal story and to uncover and understand the raw materials God has given you to use for his glory and purpose.

What would happen if you spent the rest of your life running without reservation after His purposes for you?
