This audiobook can become the beginning parts of a spiritual formation not founded in earth systems, religious centers like churches, but rather in the heart of a loving Father, that wants all of his children to know, understand and fall in love with the way of life that became the Jesus way, right after his death, burial, and resurrection.

Too often, what we call "peace" is really just silence, sameness, or surface unity, while below the surface, division is growing. But what if true Christian unity embraces differences instead of erasing them? What if real Christianity means we commit to dethroning the uniformity we often require...

We live in a world increasingly defined by division, dominance and self-interest. Our pursuit of freedom and power, untethered from grace, has moved us, not toward liberation or strength but toward exclusion, oppression and moral decay. We need to rethink what it means to live graciously. Grace is not weakness or naivety. It is courage in its purest form. It is the audacity to forgive without being asked, to listen without needing to be right, and to love without expecting anything in return.

Today, affection for the Jewish people based on Romans 11 is thought to be an error rooted in the Post-war Consensus or Dispensationalism. But in this book Doug Wilson has assembled quotes from countless Reformed teachers, many untethered from the 20th century and its Left Behind series, each writing about what they believe the Bible really teaches about Romans 11. We must reject the mistakes made in 20th century theology. But we must not throw out our heritage as we do so.

To end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and facts. For over a century, the primary Christian ministry model for the un­housed in North America has been gospel rescue missions that offer shelter and food but prioritize evangelism over proven solutions. This approach often perpetuates homelessness rather than ending it.

Everyone has secrets. Elizabeth Good’s seem shocking – at first – until the room begins to shift, hands raise, tears well, and hurting hearts respond, “I thought I was the only one.” Brave enough to lay her own story on the table, Elizabeth Good noticed, as the scales of shame and fear began to fall from her eyes, the same was happening to others in domino effect of healing. Thousands who have lived paralyzed by secrets are learning to speak up and live free through Good’s Real Talk curriculum, and the move of God is not so quietly transforming churches, business, families, and communities.

In a world obsessed with fitting in, Better Than Normal dares to ask a revolutionary question: What if the problem isn’t people who don’t conform, but the idea of “normal” itself? Author and pastor MaryAnn McKibben Dana delivers a powerful critique of society’s restrictive expectations while offering a transformative vision for human flourishing.

In "What the Trump?" Rev. Dr. A'Shellarien Addison showed us the pendulum swing of political division and the hope for unity. Now, in "The Wounded Follower," she reveals the hidden psychological and spiritual wounds that make that pendulum swing so violently—and shows us how to heal. Dr. A'Shellarien poses questions like: Why do some people need their political leaders to be saviors? What makes ordinary believers become political zealots? How do we bring our loved ones back from the brink?

Too often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches' response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+...

The apostle Paul is often associated with a theological perspective focused on the afterlife and eternity. But what if Paul's letters aren't just about the next life? What if he teaches us how to live transformed lives here and now? In Paul for the World, acclaimed New Testament scholar Nijay K...

We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions. In The...

Once in a while, someone says something that stops me in my tracks. Their words seem to encapsulate a truth, showing me a life very different from mine, or perhaps an idea new to me, an insight, or something we unexpectedly share. That truth seems to expand, in somewhat the same way that poetry expands, as we add imagination, empathy, experience. It seems to invite me in.

Charlie Kirk invited Rev. Jim Harden onto his show to talk about the firebombing of one of the Christian pro-life medical offices he runs in New York. In one of those interviews, Charlie told Rev. Harden, “We have your back 100%.” When Charlie was assassinated, Rev. Harden was the first one in America to say that Charlie’s assassination was not an act of political violence but an act of Christian persecution. Why? Because Rev. Harden is experiencing it firsthand.

The prophet Elijah is one of the most remarkable biblical examples of standing for truth in an age of deception, and his life offers an inspiring model for facing today’s challenges with clarity and confidence. From New York Times bestselling author Amir Tsarfati with Middle East analyst and media professional Tolik Piflaks, The Elijah Mandate explores the powerful parallels between Elijah’s ancient battles and today’s cultural conflicts.

Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez was an invisible architect behind evangelical Christianity's digital empire, crafting messages of belonging for some of the most influential megachurches, all while secretly questioning his own place within the faith. In a desperate attempt to "fix" himself, he turned to conversion therapy, spending eight years trying to pray the gay away. And he wasn't alone. Even though Exodus International, the largest ex-gay organization, closed in 2013, the practice still thrives in many conservative religious communities.

Think of an issue that makes your blood boil. Now imagine lunch with a friend who is just as passionate about it—on the other side. How can the two of you even broach the issue, let alone hear each other with curiosity and compassion? The answer begins long before the lunch does, by learning to engage dialogue as a habit of the heart—an inner transformation that the ancient practices of Christian spirituality can address.

Whether it's prudes, feminists, Christian Mommy Bloggers, socialists, the trans community, bot farms in India, or Christian wives themselves, a lot of people sure seem to be against Christians having sex. But why? Why are so many people, Christians themselves, against Christians having a good sex life? Some might point to the "porn addiction" epidemic ravaging today's Christian husbands (98% of which curiously have fat wives). Others might point to a tsunami of uncontrolled lust compromising Christian men.
