The John the Baptist Generation
The gun has gone off! The race does not stop until the finish line. What is the race? How do we cross that finish line? In order to renew our apocalyptic edge and prophetic focus we must answer God's call and run the race.

Mea Culpa
Already saved? John the Baptist calls even the saved to repent, even if it's only for the sin of unrepentance. What does it mean to repent? Only by doing so can we grow closer to God.

Something in Common Sabbath School

Relatable

In this six-session video Bible study (guide sold separately), Louie Giglio explores the fundamental question of what makes us relatable to others. He shows how God can change our perspective on relationships, give us greater purpose in dating and marriage, bring us peace in the midst of conflict, and help us restore relationships that seem broken beyond repair.
