As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, communities, and personal lives, the church stands at a critical crossroads. How should we respond to this transformative technology? What role can AI play in ministry, and what are the ethical boundaries we must respect? AI and the Church by Jason Moore tackles these questions head-on, offering church leaders a thoughtful, practical, and faith-driven roadmap.

This book provides an in-depth look at AI, from its basic concepts and history to the cutting-edge tools available today. But AI and the Church is more than just a technology guide; it's a call to action. Moore challenges readers to see AI not as a threat, but as a tool that, when used wisely, can enhance the church's mission in powerful ways.

Explore how AI can streamline administrative tasks, help craft sermons, and even create immersive worship experiences. At the same time, Moore addresses the ethical concerns and biblical principles that must guide the church's approach. Whether you're excited about AI, cautious, or even opposed to its use, this book invites you to engage with this technology thoughtfully and courageously.

With a blend of practical advice, theological reflection, and real-world examples, AI and the Church is the definitive guide for pastors and church leaders who want to lead their congregations into the future with wisdom and integrity.

In Search of the Holy paints a picture of a full and complete life-a life that lives up to our craziest childhood dreams.

But rather than freewheeling pursuit of some individual ideal, the hero life comes from an old concept, freshly relevant again today, called holiness.

When a lot of regular people think about being holy, they think about keeping the Ten Commandments. But the Ten Commandments are impossible. If the self-proclaimed holy rollers can't keep God's commandments, regular people don't have a chance.

The good news is that in the Bible, being holy doesn't mean being pious or good enough. It means to be set apart for a special purpose. The antonym not profane or obscene; it is ordinary.

And we don't get there by following a set of rules, but by following the One who was there when the rules were written, Jesus. What makes life exciting is who we worship, what we believe, and how we live-all of these are connected. Following Jesus turns life from ordinary to extraordinary as His love and grace change us from the inside out.

We live in a time when a healthy, right mind feels rare.

Have you ever wondered if your spiritual life and the state of your mind are connected? The Bible says they are-your thoughts shape your feelings, actions, and even your destiny.

Yet, how often do we think about training our brain for discipleship? Many Christians don't realize that following Jesus requires transforming the way we think.

Love or rejection? Peace or torment? Joy or misery? Life or death? Whatever path you choose, your mind is the key to getting there.

God wants to renew and transform your mind to reflect Christ, while the enemy wants to trap you in destructive patterns.

What is the mind of Christ? In short, it is the foolishness of the world. The mind of Christ goes against the grain of worldly knowledge and seeks to do the will of the Father. It is formed by Scripture and focused, controlled, and led by the Holy Spirit.

In Losing Your Mind (And Gaining the Mind of Christ), Dr. Peter Bellini brings together science and Scripture to explore how discipleship impacts your brain. Through practical steps, biblical wisdom, and relatable insights, you'll discover how to renew your thinking, overcome mental struggles, and deepen your spiritual walk.

Why the church continues to decline in almost every metric is the great contemporary dilemma of pastors and church leaders.

One thing is certain: The root cause for the lack of impact and fruitfulness of the church is a shortage of authentic disciples of Jesus.

Growth requires discipleship-not just any form of discipleship, though, but passionate discipleship.

And passion is a function of environment.

We thrive when we fit, when we have a strong sense of belonging, purpose, and shared mission in a community. When the conditions of mission align, everything changes-instead of pulling and struggling along, we are practically propelled forward.

Creating the right environment is essential if you are hoping to thrive and multiply.

When we begin to discover environments where we can dream about our contribution to the world-when we begin to see ourselves as an essential part of God's plan-we find

passion and energy to live a deeper sense of purpose and calling. Our work becomes meaningful, and our relationships become powerful.

With Sims and Robertson as guides, discover the transformative power of discipleship environments. Creating Space offers practical guidance on how to create environments

where disciples of Jesus can truly thrive and multiply. Drawing from decades of ministry experience, the authors explore the challenges facing the modern church and provide a

compelling vision for nurturing authentic, passionate spiritual disciples who embody the love and mission of Jesus.

The book emphasizes the importance of deep listening, accountable relationships, and intentional disciple-making environments that can ignite a movement of spiritual renewal

within churches and communities.

Through biblical wisdom, powerful narratives, and actionable tools, Creating Space equips leaders and laypeople alike to shift from maintaining programs to fostering transformative relationships.

Life's challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and looking for answers. The God is For You Workbook is your guide to finding clarity and strength for life, with God's wisdom.

Embark on a transformative journey with Shadow Self, where pastor and philosopher Mark Chironna guides you through the depths of the human soul. Here, shadows and the potential for resurrection coexist.

Chironna invites you to face your darkest corners head-on, not merely to heal but to truly live. Drawing on powerful biblical and cultural stories-from Moses to Michael Corleone, from Elijah to Spiderman-he shows how our fears and dreams awaken our desire to confront adversities with courage.

The key to every story? The shadows. Our heroes, like ourselves, are not immune to pain and failure.

Anxiety and fear. Grief and loss. Financial stress. Old trauma and wounds. Social strife. These shadowy parts of ourselves-those things we try to hide-are not residues to bury. They are the means of our flourishing, the tools to find and live our fullest self. Our darkest moments are essential. Our greatest mistakes become the very means by which we summon

strength and find our truest selves.

According to Chironna, this means of grace is resurrection. Resurrection is not just a historical event but a daily practice, a habit of rising above life's trials. Practicing resurrection leads us out of the shadows.

Through this practice, we move from languishing to flourishing. We rediscover joy and move beyond trauma and fear toward a life well-lived.

THE GREATEST STORIES EVER TOLD

When something is difficult to explain, a story is good.

'It's sorta like....'

Which is why Jesus told stories.

'How do I describe heaven? Well, it's sorta like....'

We know those stories as parables. They give us incredible insights into God's world.

Jesus told them using imagery that made sense to the ancient, agricultural society he was speaking into.

They featured kings and servants; wineskins and vineyard workers; shepherds and their sheep; fig trees and goats; tax collectors and Samaritans.

But what if Jesus were to tell his stories to us, here and now?

Surely he'd use different imagery to share his timeless truths.

Imagery that would resonate with our 21st century, ultra-diverse society.

Maybe he'd tell stories involving builders and electricians; entrepreneurs and investors; lawyers and newspaper editors; Ferraris and Fords; sailboats and motorboats; a ski trip and a theme park.

However, while he might change the storylines, the underlying messaging would remain unchanged.

Rediscover Lent as a time for gathering and growing.

In a world of rapid cultural and technological change, how do we faithfully worship and share the good news of Jesus Christ? The global pandemic brought online worship of thousands of congregations to homes and people for the first time. To build on the incredible momentum, we cannot go backwards. Instead, we must dream about what the next iteration of worship and online ministry looks like in a post-pandemic world. This important, field-tested new work by worship technology pioneer and expert by Jason Moore helps us understand how to harness radical changes in technology and culture to faithfully worship and experience Jesus, his message, and ultimately our means for carrying out the Great Commission.
