Title: The Expectation Gap: The Tiny, Vast Space between Our Beliefs and Experience of God

Author: Steve Cuss

Narrator: Steve Cuss

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 34 minutes

Release date: May 28, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. Learn how to quiet your inner critic, confront chronic anxiety, and relax into God's perfect presence. Do you truly experience the promises Jesus gave to those who follow him—the benefits of peace, freedom, and love? The fact is that many of us struggle with a gap between what we believe about God and how we encounter him in our everyday lives. We don't want our faith to be merely conceptual—we want to experience it viscerally—and yet we often come up against one or more of these major gaps:   - I believe God loves me, but I don't feel it. - I believe God is with me, but I don't see him. - I thought I'd be further along in my spiritual progress by now.   In The Expectation Gap, Steve Cuss—pastor and founder of the leadership organization Capable Life—offers tangible tools for engaging with God in a deeper, more soul-satisfying way. You'll unveil harmful expectations and patterns that keep you spiritually stuck so that you can replace them with habits and practices that will lead to a more vibrant faith life. 'This is the most helpful book I've read in my thirty-five years of ministry when it comes to recognizing, naming, and bridging the gap between what we believe about God and what we experience from God.' —Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women Exercises, discussion questions, and appendixes can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 51 minutes

Release date: May 28, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

En Sígueme, el pastor y autor Carlos Erazo nos explica cómo nos hemos convertido en la generación con los niveles más altos de ansiedad, preocupación, estrés, depresión, incertidumbre y temor en la historia porque seguimos al guía equivocado. En vez de enseñarle al corazón a seguir a Jesús, hemos permitido que alguien le enseñe a nuestro corazón a seguir otras influencias, otras tendencias, otras ideologías. Pero no es demasiado tarde para darle un nuevo destino al corazón comenzando hoy como aprendices de Jesús. En el nuevo libro de Carlos Erazo, Sígueme, el autor revela cómo estas plataformas influyen en nuestras vidas más de lo que creemos, abordando temas como: - La adicción a las redes sociales - El consumo desenfrenado de pornografía - La escalada de problemas de salud mental como la ansiedad y la depresión - La obsesión por uno mismo y la caída en picado de la autoestima A través de una mirada profunda a las Escrituras, descubriremos que Jesús nos ofrece una vida libre de todo aquello que te tiene enredado, atrapado o atascado. Para que cuando otros vean tu vida, comprendan que la única explicación de una vida tan radicalmente diferente a la de la mayoría es porque está marcada por la devoción a Jesús. Follow Me In Follow Me, pastor and author Carlos Erazo explains how we have become the generation with the highest levels of anxiety, worry, stress, depression, uncertainty and fear in history because we follow the wrong guide. Instead of teaching our hearts to follow Jesus, we have allowed someone else to teach our hearts to follow other influences, other trends, other ideologies. But it is not too late to give a new destiny to the heart starting today as apprentices of Jesus. In Carlos Erazo's new book, Follow Me, the author reveals how these platforms influence our lives more than we think, addressing topics such as: - The addiction to social media - The rampant consumption of pornography - The escalation of mental health problems such as anxiety and depression - Self-obsession and plummeting self-esteem Through a deep look at Scripture, we will discover that Jesus offers us a life free of anything that has you entangled, trapped or stuck. So that when others see your life, they will understand that the only explanation for a life so radically different from most is because it is marked by devotion to Jesus.

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the authors. Discover the satisfaction of becoming the man God created you to be. In a world that’s grown increasingly confused about--and hostile toward--the very notion of masculinity, authors Jefferson Bethke and Jon Tyson send a powerful call to men everywhere: it's time to step into the light of Jesus' vision for you as a man. There's a shadow that's settled over the hearts of men today. Masculinity is in crisis. Critiques about the dangers of toxic masculinity and the abuses of patriarchal systems have grown louder than ever. The very notions of masculinity and manhood are under attack. In response to cultural shifts, some have doubled down on old stereotypes in ways that just add to the conflict and confusion. The result? Many men simply feel paralyzed--worried about saying the wrong thing, unsure what to do with their ambitions or strengths, simultaneously tempted and shamed by a hypersexualized and pornified culture. Our models and mentors have failed us. Based on their years of working in men's ministry, Bethke and Tyson have good news for men looking for clarity and courage in this age of quiet desperation. In Fighting Shadows, they help men - overcome the temptations of escapism, passivity, or overcompensation; - combat the most harmful shadows that men battle today, including loneliness, apathy, distraction, lust, and shame; and - embrace masculinity as a God-given gift, not a curse to be avoided, suppressed, or battled.   An entire generation of men is being told they should abdicate the responsibility and joy of living into God's calling on their lives—don't be one of them. If you're a man who's wondering what to do with your strength, your longings, and your gifts, it's time to step out of the shadows. Jesus has a vision for you.

Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty says that if you can tell someone about your spouse, kids, friends, school, pets, and hobbies, you know how to talk about the most important thing in your life, your Lord! Could you share the gospel with another person? Would you know where to start? Do you even know what the gospel is? It's the Good News of Jesus, and a gospeler is simply someone who shares it with others.

Or you might say you haven't figured it all out yourself, so you aren’t equipped to help anyone else. Whatever may be holding you back will be covered in this book, giving you the inspiration, guidance, and encouragement you need.

Title: Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing?: Learning to Ask What God Wants for You, Not Just What You Want

Author: Travis Greene

Narrator: Travis Greene

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 25 minutes

Release date: May 14, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. The Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the reader to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life. Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing. When something--or everything--feels stuck because God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what next? Pastor and Grammy–nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers--Are we praying for the right thing? Are we planning and preparing for what we've asked for? Are we praying for our will to grow closer to His? Or do we sometimes treat him like a genie in a bottle? Using Biblical examples, Travis invites readers to reconsider our prayers and - navigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God’s purposes; - learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost; - be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; and - believe in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided.   Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us--something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages the readers that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize. Management can be a magnet for miracles.

Title: The Hope in Our Scars: Finding the Bride of Christ in the Underground of Disillusionment

Author: Aimee Byrd

Narrator: Aimee Byrd

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 56 minutes

Release date: May 7, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. Aimee Byrd peels back the church's underlying and pervasive theology of power to face the shame that lurks there and find the lasting hope of belonging in Christ. Some things happening in the church these days should provoke our anger. It's racked with scandals of fraud, abuse, cover-up. It's embroiled in racism, misogyny, marginalization, and hatred. The truth is that we have to fight to love Christ's church. Many of us are left wondering what kind of hope can the church offer if its leaders will not care for its wounds, admit their complicity, and move toward true reconciliation with God's people. From the author of Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood comes a passionate plea to work through our disillusionment with the church and rediscover what's true and beautiful about our covenantal union with Christ. Having tread her own path of disillusionment, Aimee Byrd invites us to see Christ among the chaos so apparent in his church. Along the way, Aimee guides us through deeply theological and personal reflections on how we can: - Cultivate healthier forms of trust by recognizing power structures at work. - Understand the limits of authority, and free ourselves from tribes and celebrity culture. - Take appropriate social risks by speaking up when we're uncomfortable. - Rediscover how our stories matter to God.   This book is written to those who have been wounded by the church. To those who have suffered abuse at the hands of church leaders and are left with deep scars. To those who are disillusioned or deconstructing their faith, The Hope in Our Scars offers a way forward with a God who walks with us in our affliction and wants to make it into something beautiful. Reflection questions can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: The Storied Life: Christian Writing as Art and Worship

Author: Jared C. Wilson

Narrator: Adam Barr

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 42 minutes

Release date: May 7, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

When writers write, they are getting in touch with the image of God in them. This is true in some way of all artistry, but writers especially create worlds, characters, histories, and transformation--all ex nihilo ('out of nothing'). In The Storied Life, veteran author Jared C. Wilson explores the ins and outs of writers and writing, exploring the myriad ways the craft is more about transformation than simply communication. From decades of experience and with his signature wit, Wilson brings well-earned insight, autobiographical reflections, and meaningful meditations to the topic of writing as a way of life and as a way of worship, showing how the concept of Story--our personal stories and God's grand story of redemption--shapes fiction and non-fiction writers alike. Chapters focus on topics like: - The liturgy of story. - Writing as a spiritual act. - Perseverance and endurance. - Writing as a calling. - Promotion, publishing, and platform.   Whether you're a long-time writer or a beginning author, a daily journaler or an occasional dabbler, The Storied Life will help you improve your craft. It will lead you to think more deeply about the disciplines and dispositions needed to write for transformation. Recommended readingcan be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
