Collide Resources

• Our Personal and Powerful Bible study reminds us that God is able to intersect with our lives in both personal and powerful ways. 

• Collide and Converse: A Group Video Bible Study for Women This 6-week series centers around New Testament stories of people having life-changing collisions with Jesus.

• NEW Broken & Beautiful: a 5-Day Devotional is a free resource to help you collide with Jesus and see that there can be beauty in the places we often see as broken. We created this tool so that as you work through Luke 7:36-50, you will keep running into the One who renamed the “sinful” woman, not by her brokenness, but by the beauty He could bring out of it.
