Out of the Cave: Stepping into the Light when Depression Darkens What You See
by Chris Hodges
In Out of the Cave, Hodges uses Elijah’s life to show us that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when we’re walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But we don’t have to stay there, because we serve a God who meets us in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps us remove the stigma of depression and realize we’re not alone, understand the ways our temperament and view of God affect the way we handle depression, and learn a comprehensive approach to wellness—mind, body, and soul—from Elijah’s journey.
Reach People Movement
by Dino Rizzo
In Acts 10:38 we read that Jesus was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit – and from that position, He went around doing good, healing people, and abiding in the presence of God. This brand new Small Group Curriculum dives deeper into what that verse means for us and how to model our daily lives accordingly. You’ll spend 6 weeks studying, hearing from a diverse set of ministry leaders with a passion for outreach, and processing what you learn through discussion questions. You”ll then get to put what you’ve learned into action – by serving, doing good works, and spreading the Good News to every person we encounter. Because PEOPLE matter!
