This Fall: First Thursday Nights in Central IL!

This four-session disciplemaking training experience takes you to the very heart of disciplemaking friendships that flourish and multiply. It's an exploration of how to live the "one-another" verses as found in the Bible. This will NOT be a lecture or a passive workshop. Expect fun, thought-provoking interactions, encouragement, and God-directed transformation that you'll be able to apply to your life and ministry immediately. Bring your Bible and your framily (friends and family). Each person receives a training manual and a One Another Living Guide for taking what you learn back to those where you live, work, play, and church. You'll encounter these four sessions:

* Session 1 
(Thursday PM, September 5th, 6-8 PM)
No Relationships = No Ministry; 
Know Relationships = Know Ministry
An out-of-the-box learning experience will get us started and explain why relationships are the heart of ministry—and God’s mode of operation for impacting and changing the lives of those in our ministry!

* Session 2 
(Thursday PM, October 3rd, 6-8 PM)
God-Powered Relationship Skills
Learn the biblical motivation for disciplemaking friendships.  Learn the three key building blocks for disciplemaking friendships.

* Session 3 
(Thursday PM, November 7th, 6-8 PM)
He That Hath Ears—Let Him Hear!
Disciplemaking friendships aren't so much about talking—they're about listening. Surprise! You'll learn how to listen—and connect with hearts. It's an experience you will never forget—and you'll be able to use what you've learned with your friends and family.

* Session 4 
(Thursday PM, December 5th, 6-8 PM)
CLEAN UP Messy Relationships

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible?

Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:

Brand New: The M.A.D. Student Bible

Image
Sometime ago, my dear friend,  Dr. Ken Castor , invited me and 29 others to participate in creating a brand new out-of-the-box study Bible for the next generation.   The Make a Difference student Bible    is hot off the press!  Here's WHY the M.A.D Bible is so needed right now . There's never been a study Bible for students quite like the M.A.D (Make a Difference) Bible ! It was so much fun to contribute to this Bible especially for students . I loved helping to write the introduction to the Old Testament and the introduction to the book of Leviticus. Yeah. That's right. Leviticus . There's so much to unpack about the M.A.D. Bible ! (Click on image above for viewing and reading.) Did I mention that this M.A.D study Bible is for the next generation —so they can "make a difference" for Jesus Christ in the world? Hanging out with Dr. Ken Castor at Ignite Youth Leadership Conference . Explore more about the M.A.D Bible here... Instagram Facebook Get yours at www.
