Rediscover how to pursue your dreams, see beyond limitations, and find clarity in God''s plan for your life. Once upon a time we had big dreams. But life became a maze of responsibilities, obligations, and expectations. Maybe we see that there''s more to life and more to faith, but we''re distracted by the next crisis or urgent diversion, and that stirring of purpose always seems out of reach. We still have dreams, but we''re no longer in touch with them... This video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately) will help you understand that God has a plan for your life. Bestselling author Bob Goff provides a step-by-step road map to breaking through the barriers that are holding you back. Each of the five sessions explores a different aspect of what it means to dream big: Get Ready to Dream Big – Before he healed him, Jesus asked the blind man, "Do you want to get well?" 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. Land the Plane – Time to advance from ideas and get started by taking action with real steps. If anyone knows how to live life to the fullest, it''s Bob Goff. He''s already dazzled readers with his audacious, live-out-loud approach and stories told in Love Does and Everybody, Always. Yet as unique as Bob might seem, he had to make his own choice to dream big, and he wants to take you and your study group on this journey and help you rediscover the dreams God has for you and to turn them into reality. No matter where you are in life, it''s not too late to dream big. Designed for use with the Dream Big Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

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.
