Tyler ShickMore PostsBrand New: Live Large. Be Different. Shine Bright.

Brand new student devotional book from Doug Fields and Josh Griffin.

Somewhere along the line, an expectation has crept into church youth groups that once you begin to follow Jesus, you just magically turn into a completely mature Christian. Well, that’s just not true!

In Live Large. Be Different. Shine Bright., Doug Fields and Joshua Griffin share about some important character qualities that will help teenagers live large, be different, and shine bright. A lot of what Doug and Joshua write about doesn’t seem to get much sermon time, but these topics are definitely worthy of consideration and experimentation–

Tyler ShickMore PostsHappy, A New Sermon Series from Doug Fields and Josh Griffin

Brand new in the store:

This is a new sermon series from Doug Fields and Josh Griffin. It’s a great series on the beatitudes.

Here’s more details:

Guess what? Life as a follower of Christ isn’t designed to be dull, boring, or sad. In fact, Jesus wants you to be happy! But God’s definition of happiness is quite different from the way our culture interprets and promotes. God doesn’t want us to focus our energy and efforts on pursuing happiness that is defined by our feelings and emotions. Instead, we can seek happiness that is experienced as we follow God’s plan–

Tyler ShickMore PostsSneak Peak: 10 Minute Moments: Plugged In

We wanted to give you “Insiders” a first peak at a new book by Doug Fields, 10 Minute Moments: Plugged In. It’s a companion study devotional to the Plugged In video small group curriculum. Here’s a quick description:

10-Minute Moments: Plugged In is a daily devotional that’s set up as a journal. Students read a Bible passage, poke their brain with a few questions, get some suggestions on what to pray about, and then space to write down their thoughts. It’s a one-month plan that’s easy to read and easy to stick with. And, if you hadn’t guessed from the title, each “lesson” only takes about 10 minutes.

This time around, they’ll tackle the five biblical purposes of our lives–
