A mustard seed. God asks us to have faith the size of an itty, bitty, tiny mustard seed. Now that shouldn't be so hard, should it? And yet, so many times we experience difficult, even traumatic events in our lives that make us ask questions like, "If God loves us and wants the very best for us, why does He allow such horrible things to happen?"For Kevin, it was a mass shooting in his town of Buffalo, Minnesota that brought him to ask this important question. And each time he prayed, he heard the words, "Can you trust me this much? Those words kept replaying in his mind over and over again. Kevin eventually wrote those six words down on strips of paper and Scotch-taped a mustard seed to each one. He proceeded to place the strips in random places. They were in his house, his business, on his computer, and even in his car.What Kevin discovered was how the traumatic events we all face in life can either destroy us or bring us to a place where we realize our pain has a purpose. And when we finally get real and have the crazy courage to face the big hurts - those life-changing events - we can answer with certainty, "Yes?yes, I can trust you this much!"

But life became a maze of responsibilities, obligations, and expectations.

You have to want to dream again before you can come to any clear idea about who you are. Set Absurd Expectations – Dreaming big requires you to suspend your practical way of seeing things long enough to look beyond logistics and limitations. Clear the Path – Discover new paths through places you previously assumed were impassable by looking at the reasons you think you can''t pursue your dreams. Push Through Setbacks – Learn to push through your fear of another failure by exploring the story of Peter trying to walk on water.

In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author Bob Goff shares some of the stories from his life that have helped him understand what it truly means to love everybody the way Jesus loved them-without fear, insecurity, or restriction. This begins by loving people right where you are through serving and helping the neighbors God has placed into your world. It means loving people when they mess up and helping them move past the place of shame to acceptance. It continues by being courageous and following where God leads one step at a time-even if you feel you are flying blind. Above all, it means not just agreeing with Jesus but actually stepping out and doing what Jesus said. Following Christ means more than just putting a toe in the water when it comes to loving others. It means grabbing your knees and doing a cannonball And, as Jesus revealed, it means loving the difficult ones. Everybody, Always will provide practical steps to help you take that journey. Sessions include: Love People Where You Are Catch People on the Bounce Don't Play It Safe Look at What's in Your Bucket Love Even the Difficult People This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

What happens when we give away love like we''re made of it? This study guide is a five-week experiment in learning how to love unconditionally--just as God does. To the world around us, this kind of unconditional love makes little sense. The world is really good at loving some people, sometimes. Most of us are. But what about loving people who don''t talk like us, think like us, vote like us, or see the world like we do? In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), Bob points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible--to love everybody the way Jesus loved them--without fear, insecurity, or reservations... Love everybody: Begin by loving people right where you are through serving and helping the neighbors God has placed in your world. Love always: Love people when they mess up, and help them move past the place of shame to acceptance. Love God: Be courageous and follow where God leads one step at a time--even if you feel like you''re flying blind. Love now: Don''t just agree with Jesus, but actually step out and do what Jesus said. Each session explores a different aspect of unconditional love: Love People Where You Are Catch People on the Bounce Don’t Play It Safe Look at What’s in Your Bucket Love Even the Difficult People Following Christ means more than just putting a toe in the water when it comes to loving others. It means grabbing your knees and doing a cannonball! And, as Jesus revealed, it means loving the difficult ones. The Everybody, Always Study Guide provides practical steps to help you take that journey. Includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions, and a leader''s guide. Designed for use with the Everybody, Always Video Study (9780310095361), sold separately.

This is a study about God''s love... and the most amazing thing about that love is that it''s not a bunch of rules or stuff we have to agree with. God''s love is different. It changes things. It''s active. It works. It risks. God''s love... does. Tapping into this love requires a different skill set than what it takes to memorize answers for a test. This isn''t a love we can earn, buy, or win. It''s something bigger and better. It''s something we discover more about by "doing stuff." This dynamic five-week church-wide campaign explores a different aspect of God''s active love as seen through the stories of Bob Goff. Five video sessions expand on Bob''s teaching in the bestselling book of the same name, combing teaching elements with interactive creative elements. The included study guide and DVD will help small groups and Sunday school classes dig into each topic through a guided Bible study and small-group time with discussion questions, hands-on exercises, and further activities for participants to engage the content on their own between sessions. This church-wide campaign kit includes: One Love Does trade book One study guide (provides teaching notes, discussion questions, Bible study, between-session activities and a practical application called "Putting Love into Action," which will give participants the opportunity to put the principles they have learned into practice) One DVD containing five small-group video sessions One Getting Started guide Love Does Action Guide (a small booklet containing practical ideas for how church members can put the principles outlined in Love Does into action during the week)

Tydens sy studentejare het hy sestien dae in die Stille Oseaan gespandeer saam met vyf vriende en ’n kas blikkiesvleis. As pa het hy sy kinders op ’n wêreldtoer geneem om roomys te eet saam met staatshoofde. Hy het vriende gemaak in Uganda, en so baie van hulle gehou dat hy die Ugandese konsul geword het. Dit het hom drie jaar geneem om sy vrou te oortuig om met hom uit te gaan. Sy punte op skool was nie goed genoeg om in die regte te gaan studeer nie, daarom het hy vir sewe dae op ’n bankie buite die rektor se kantoor gaan sit, totdat hulle hom uiteindelik toegelaat het om in te skryf. Bob Goff het ’n legende geword, en sy vriende beskou hom as die wêreld se besbewaarde geheim. Dieselfde vriende dring al lank by hom aan om ’n boek te skryf. Wat volg is paradigma-skuiwe, mymerings en stories van een van die wêreld se genotvolste, innemendste en bekoorlikste karakters. Wat is die geheim van sy impak? Liefde. Maar dit is nie die soort liefde wat by gedagtes en gevoelens eindig nie. Bob se liefde doen. Bob glo daarin Om die Liefde te Leef. Wanneer die liefde geleef word, word die lewe interessant. Elke dag verander in ’n uitgelate, rare en betekenisvolle geleentheid wat geloof eenvoudig en werklik maak. Elke hoofstuk is ’n storie wat ’n boek, ’n lewe vorm. En dit is een lewe wat jy nie wil misloop nie. Lig en prettig, uniek en diepsinnig, sal die lesse uit Bob se lewe en gesindheid jou dalk net inspireer om ook heimlik fantasties te wees.

Taking it seriously is where life meets faith. Free to Fail - exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does with it.
