Studies have shown that up to 81% of women and 43% of men have experienced some form of sexual harassment—either verbal or physical—at some point in their lifetime. Reflections: A GC2 Summit on Responding to Sexual Harassment, Abuse, and Violence was a one-day event which challenged and inspired pastors, leaders, and lay Christians to address the very real tragedy in our churches and to begin the healing process of being who God designed all of us to be. We brought together Christian leaders today to address what the Bible says about this tragedy, the destruction of silence, how to protect those who are vulnerable and victimized, the role of accountability in leadership, and much more.

The Summit was sponsored by the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College in partnership with the Wheaton College School of Psychology, Counseling, & Family Therapy.

Life has a way of taking the life out of us.

Often we go through situations where the challenge seems so much greater than our strength. During such times, we can find hope and inspiration from the story of Joshua.

God has called Joshua to take over from Moses and lead the Israelites into a paradigm shift from wilderness wandering to promise-believing. In Canaan, they would not fight for victory but fight from victory. God had a Promised Land in store for them, but hey had to grasp that reality, change their mindsets, and take action to receive it.

The same is true for us today. God is telling us that our best days - our "glory days"- are still ahead of us. We only need to grasp that truth and live in faith to realize this promise.

Session include:

  1. These Days Are Your Glory Days
  2. Inherit Your Inheritance
  3. Walk Circles Around Jericho
  4. Pray Audacious Prayers
  5. No Falling Words
  6. God Fights for You

We all pray . . . some. We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out. When the marriage is falling apart. But wouldn't we like to pray . . . more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency?

In this four-session video-based study, bestselling author and pastor, Max Lucado reveals his struggles with prayer and how he discovered that it is not a privilege for the pious or the art of a chosen few but a simple tool everyone has been given to have a conversation with God. He shows you how to let go of uncertainties about prayer, trust that God hears you, and embrace a prayer life that brings peace and rest.

Join Max Lucado on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer and the power unleashed with five simple sentences: "Father, you are good. I need help. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen."

Sessions include:

  1. Father, You Are Good
  2. I Need Help
  3. They Need Help
  4. Thank You

A remarkable gift in an unremarkable package.

A remarkable gift can arrive in an unremarkable package. One did in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. No one expected God to come the way he did. Yet the way he came was every bit as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message. In this four-session video Bible study, Max Lucado explores how the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. He experienced hunger and thirst. He went through the stages of human development. He was taught to walk, stand, and wash his face. He was completely and genuinely human. Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record... just grace. We have the promise that God is always near us, always for us, always within us- and that we have a friend and Savior in heaven. Long after the guests have left, the carolers have gone home, and the lights have come down, these promises endure.

Session Titles:

  1. God Has a Face
  2. Worship Works Wonders
  3. God Guides the Wise
  4. Every Heart a Manger

In a trembling, unsteady world, learn to gain stability, find peace, and trust in God.

This 12-session video Bible study will help you, your group, and your church stand on the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God who governs the world according to his great and precious promises.

This world has a tremble to it. There are things that seem unsteady in this life. But when we belong to God, it allows us to filter our problems through the promises of God. We choose to be people of the promise, we choose to build our lives on the promises of God, not the circumstances of life.

The stories of the men and women in Scripture were different, but the theme was the same: they were People of the Promise. Because of God's promises, Noah built an ark on dry land, Joshua claimed the Promised Land, David became king, Peter preached the first sermon, and John caught a glimpse of the future. Like them, we can also build our lives on God's promises, and trust him to keep them.

Sessions include:

  1. You Are Stamped with God's Image
  2. God Will Win the Victory
  3. You Are an Heir of God
  4. Your Prayers Have Power
  5. God Gives Grace to the Humble
  6. God Gets You
  7. Jesus Is Praying for You
  8. Death Has Been Defeated
  9. Joy Is Coming Soon
  10. You Will Have Power

In He Chose the Nails, a five-session video Bible study, Max continues by examining the gifts that Christ gave at his crucifixion. These include not only the gift of the cross, but also the gift of the nails, and the empty tomb. The cross is rich with God's gifts of grace, and as we unwrap them, we will hear him whisper, "I did it just for you."

Sessions include:

  1. He Chose the Nails, He Chose to Be One of Us
  2. He Chose the Nails, He Chose to Forgive Us
  3. He Chose the Nails, He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence
  4. He Chose the Nails, He Chose to Love Us Forever
  5. He Chose the Nails, He Chose to Give Us Victory

In this five-session video Bible study, Max Lucado explores God’s promise in Philippians 4:4–8 and shows that while anxiety is part of life, it doesn’t have to dominate life. As you follow God’s prescription for worry – celebrate his goodness, ask for help, leave your concerns with him, meditate on good things – you will experience his peace. You can stop letting anxiety rule your day and find true calm and contentment in Christ.

You fear you won't make it through. We all do. We fear that the depression will never life, the yelling will never stop, the pain will never leave. In the pits, surrounded by steep walls and aching reminders, we wonder: Will this gray sky ever brighten? This load ever lighten?

In this six-session small group Bible study, pastor and New York Times best-selling author, Max Lucado offers refreshing assurance. Max reminds participants God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. It wasn't for Joseph-tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed. But his Old Testament story is in the Bible for this reason: to teach us to trust God to trump evil.

With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of the one who has seen what God can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20. What Satan intends for evil, God redeems for good.

The six sessions include:

  1. You'll Get Through This
  2. Down and Out, But Never Alone
  3. Stupid Won't Fix Stupid
  4. Is God Good When Life Isn't
  5. Now, About Those Family Scandals and Scoundrels
  6. God Can Use This for Good

Weary travelers. You’ve seen them — everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks.

Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop.

We’ve all seen people like that.

At times, we are people like that — if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load.

We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We’re worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn’t it be nice to lose some of those bags?

That’s the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let’s release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear.

Using these verses as a guide, Max Lucado walks us through a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this Psalm to remind you to release the burdens you were never meant to bear.

Why Me? Why am I here? Why did this happen? Can you help me understand? Where's the lifeline? Where can I turn? Is there any hope?

We have questions. Real, important and challenging questions. Questions about family, finances, and forgiveness. Unsettling questions regarding illness, death and eternity. Don't we crave answers to these questions that tug on the deepest parts of our hearts?

Max Lucado has received thousands of questions and wrestled with plenty of his own. In these eight Bible study sessions, one of today's most trusted pastors takes on life's most important questions. Here's hoping that his answers to the questions of others will help you find answers to your own.
