Sara Maynard author of "The Prayer of All Prayers Finding Life and Revival in the Lord's Prayer" joins Tim Klassen for a conversation about prayer. A bonus resource from the "168 Discipleship" series.

Praying As Jesus Taught. More than a religious ritual or a relic of Christianity this essential how-to from Jesus is a practical and powerful way to join God in shaping the church and the world.

Understanding Why We Pray. The story of God's activity in response to his people's prayers broadens our perspective and compels us to participate.

An introduction to the teaching series "168 Discipleship" that explains how God's grace rescues us to a life most fully lived when our intentionality meets God's gracious empowerment.

As we embark on the runway of a new year, all of our plans are charted along a specific trajectory to arrive at a purposeful destination. What is it for us as a church and why does it matter?

Words to Live By

Jesus wept over Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. Some within Israel embraced Jesus; some rejected him. How could Israel's perspective of Christmas shape and inform our own? How might it counterbalance our impatient, individualized, idealized cultural moment?

He was known as Herod the Great. Such a powerful man, and yet his whole life was turned upside down by a tiny infant? How does his reaction and response inform our lives today?

Righteous living is not always a trendy topic, but at the first Christmas, a man named Joseph gives us an example of how to act in turbulent times.

The Christmas story asks us to embrace the unbelievable and unexpected. But it also invites us to both encounter and trust the God who came to be with us.
