We live in a radically skeptical age. Tough questions are being asked about Christianity. And most believers are ill-equipped to provide the answers our culture and communities desperately need. Many in today’s church do not know the Bible as well as they should and they struggle with their own “big questions” about the faith. This study helps identify questions people are asking and how a Christian might answer them.

When Jesus called His disciples, they left everything and followed Him. Careers. Possessions. Families. Everything that was safe and familiar. Jesus expects no less of His followers today. In this Bible study, pastor and best-selling author David Platt challenges the notion that Christians can follow Jesus without giving up our old way of life. Redeemed by radical grace, we are called to a radical abandonment of our agendas, to a radical strategy for making disciples, and to a radical vision for being on mission.

Is God only concerned that I “behave correctly?” Am I “white knuckling” my Christian walk – trying hard to “be good?” That’s manipulating my behavior!

In this devotional we will explore how God’s transforming power enables us to live the abundant Christian life.

When you wake up and realize that happily ever after is not happening, you may be tempted to pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep. Sometimes life can be very painful, but there's good news. You are not alone! There is hope! Welby O'Brien helps us see that true spiritual self-care—in the way our loving Creator designed—is a privilege. And it is totally possible.
