Jesus focused His time and attention on walking with God and making disciples. Shouldn't we? In His wisdom, He chose to invest deeply in the lives of twelve men. He saw them, called them, taught them, saved them, then sent them into the world to bear witness to what He had done for them. This five-week small group study uses featured clips from the new Kendrick brothers' movie, THE FORGE, to ignite a passion for knowing Christ personally, following Him sacrificially, obeying Him willingly, and helping others become disciples of Christ. The world doesn't need another strategy, it needs men and women who are devoted to Jesus and committed to helping others know and follow Him through lifelong discipleship. Session Topics:

Firefighter Caleb Holt lives to rescue people from flames. But when his marriage is in danger of collapse, how far will he go to save it? Based on the beloved film Fireproof and the inspiration for The Love Dare, this New York Times bestseller reminds us that God will choose to save us every time.
Growing up, Caleb Holt's wife, Catherine, always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter . . . just like her father. Now, after seven years of marriage, she wonders when she stopped being good enough for Caleb. Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something new, something easier, something with more sparks.
As Caleb and Catherine face inevitable divorce, Caleb's father challenges Caleb to commit to a 40-day experiment: The Love Dare. Wondering if his failing marriage is even worth the effort, Caleb reluctantly agrees, not realizing how these forty days will change his world forever.
Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb begins to see his wife and marriage as worth fighting for. But is it too late? His job is to rescue others. Now Captain Holt must face his toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife's heart.
From the makers of Overcomer and Fireproof comes the inspirational novelization of the runaway hit movie Facing the Giants.
It's been six years without a winning season, and Coach Grant Taylor's job is on the line. Unless the Shiloh Christian Eagles turn things around--and fast--he's history. Unfortunately, their leading scorer has just left for a rival school and the team has lost its drive. The pressure is on, and the stakes are high.
On the home front, things aren't much better for Grant. His house is falling apart. His old clunker of a car keeps dying, and the coach and his wife have been unsuccessful in their attempts to start a family.
But God is on the move--in many ways.
When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. When faced with unbelievable odds, Grant and his Shiloh Eagles must rise above their fear and step up to their greatest test of strength and courage.
From the makers of Overcomer and Fireproof comes a novel that asks: what's the most important thing in your life?
Jay Austin did what it took to get ahead and make the quick sell at work. Problem was--the more successful he was, the more he traded what really mattered. His integrity. His relationship with his wife. His time with his son.
He was chasing things that had no eternal significance. It wasn't until God slowly unraveled everything that he saw how empty his life had become.
Now it will take a courageous heart and a saving grace for Jay to finally turn his drive into a desire for a more authentic life with God as well as with his wife and son.
In a world filled with cheap imitations that distract us from God's higher plans, Flywheel is a powerful parable for all who hunger to live an authentic life.

Si Jesús dedicó Su tiempo a caminar con Dios y formar discípulos, no deberíamos hacer lo mismo? En Su sabiduría, Jesús, invirtió profundamente en las vidas de doce hombres. Los vio, los llamó, les enseñó, los salvó y luego los envió al mundo para dar testimonio de lo que Él había hecho por ellos. El mundo no necesita otra estrategia, necesita hombres y mujeres que estén dedicados a Jesús y comprometidos a ayudar a otros a conocerlo y seguirlo a través del discipulado de por vida. Sesiones:

The Overcomer Bible Study Book includes content for five Bible study lessons, personal study guides between group sessions, applicable Scripture, How to Use This Study, and tips for leading a group. The small group sessions and personal study opportunities in this Bible study guides readers through examining how we determine and find our true identity in Christ with clips from the Kendrick brothers' Overcomer movie.
Many people feel they are less than who God says they are. We get our identity from our careers, our political positions, our roles in the family, and a number of other lesser things.
However, what is most true about us is that we are made by a God who loves us, and the gospel can bring us into a relationship with Him. When we understand who God is, we more fully understand who we are.
The Kendrick brothers co-write screenplays and books as well as produce, act in and direct movies that are dedicated to serving Jesus Christ and making Him known around the world. Catch the Overcomer movie in theaters August 23.

Who Are You?
When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you may start with your name, where you go to school, a sport or instrument you play, or your future plans. Each of those may help our culture define us, but are they enough? There are bigger questions culture can't answer: Who am I? and Why do I matter? But first, you must answer, Who is God?
Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We don't define ourselves--the Creator does. We find our identity in Christ. Once you begin to understand who God is and what it means to be created in His image, you'll begin to discover all God has called you to be. This teen Bible study book for boys will examine spiritual truths from the Book of Ephesians in the Bible to lead you into a closer relationship with God and a better understanding and appreciation of your God-given identity--which is fulfilled in Christ.
In this Ephesians Bible study for teen boys, young men will learn through Bible study lessons and workbooks written and led by authors Alex and Stephen Kendrick.
What do you let define you? This theme is inspired by the authors new film, Overcomer. The Kendrick brothers are dedicated to serving Jesus Christ and making Him known all around the world.
