The author invites us to embrace God by going "all in" and placing all that we have into God''s hands, which will mean getting much more than we ever sacrificed.

When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? Jesus didn''t die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous. The will of God is not an insurance plan; it''s a daring plan. It''s time to quit living as if the purpose of your life is to arrive safely at death. All In, a four-session video-based Bible study by New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson, challenges participants to resolutely follow God wherever he leads by pointing out that if Jesus is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all. Most people think they are following Jesus. They may think they are following Jesus, but the reality is, they''ve invited Jesus to follow them. They call him Savior, but they''ve never surrendered to him as Lord. Are you following Jesus? Or have you invited Jesus to follow you? Participants will find Batterson''s teaching filled with his customary vivid, contemporary stories as well as biblical characters like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and Judas. It''s time to go all in for God. Sessions include: Now or Never: Pack Your Coffin (19:00) All In: Charge!

Christians who want to take the next step in their faith walk need look no further. It''s time to ante up and go all in with God. The Gospel costs nothing. You can''t earn it or buy it. It can only be received as a free gift, which is compliments of God''s grace. It doesn''t cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that we go "all in," putting all that we have into God''s hands. But why do so many Christians hesitate to do that? And when did we start believing that the Gospel is an insurance plan? We''re afraid that if we go all in that we might miss out on what life has to offer. But Jesus did not die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous. So, let''s step out of spiritual no man''s land and kneel at the foot of the cross of Christ and surrender to his lordship. It''s time to dethrone yourself and enthrone Christ as king, and Pastor Mark Batterson is here to show you how. Using his customary vivid, contemporary illustrations, as well as biblical characters like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and even Judas, you will be challenged to trade what Batterson calls "inverted Christianity" for true discipleship as you strip away your excuses and inhibitions and follow God completely. It''s now or never. Are you ready to go all in and all out for God? Also available: All In student edition, video curriculum, and study guide.

A six-session format that allows for discussion centered around pratical application of the biblical text.

Most of us have no idea where we’re going most of the time. Perfect. “Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit–An Geadh-Glas, or ‘the Wild Goose.’ The name hints at mystery. Much like a wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it’s like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something…. Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.” --from the introduction

Chase the Lion: Stepping Confidently Into the Unknown - Member Book is a 6-session young adult Bible study that expands the message of Mark Batterson''s best-selling book "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day." Inspired by a fearless warrior named Benaiah (2 Sam. 23:20) who changed the course of his future by winning a battle with a real lion, this study examines biblical and modern-day examples of people who were willing to put everything on the line, take risks, seize opportunities, face fears, embrace uncertainty, and look foolish when it comes to chasing after God-given opportunities. Our current Christian culture doesn''t usually encourage sensible people to chase after risky opportunities and dreams. We want to believe that if it''s a good decision, it will always be and feel safe because that''s the way God wants life to be. But what if you discovered that the fulfilling life God wants for you is hiding behind a present problem, a past failure, or a lifelong fear?
