Get The End of Me for Free, Plus 3 More Kyle Idleman Books for under $7

When pastor and author Kyle Idleman tried to finish the simple sentence, “Jesus became real when . . .” it began a journey of discovery resulting in his new book The End of Me.

Kyle realized that Jesus Christ becomes real for each of us when we come to the end of ourselves. And for that to happen, we need to embrace the counter-intuitive teachings of Jesus Christ: brokenness is the way to wholeness, mourning is the path to blessing, and emptiness is required to know true fullness.

Missed Paul Tripp with the Eagles? Watch it On Demand through September 30

They became world champions, winning the big game on one of the biggest stages in pro sports. And to millions of fans, they instantly became heroes and athletes to admire and emulate.

They’re also men who face unimaginable pressures from fame, money, and a lifestyle few will ever know. But some live their lives for a greater purpose than football, and with a deeper motivation than winning. They live by faith in God. [Read more…]

Introducing Faithlife Sites: Church Websites That Run Themselves

When you entered the ministry, you probably didn’t dream of sitting at your computer tinkering with your church website.

And now you don’t have to.  

Faithlife Sites frees you to focus on what matters most by giving you a church website that runs itself.  

Plus, it’s free.

Set it, forget it, and get back to ministry

Faithlife Sites takes the work you and your staff already do every week—like keeping a calendar, creating announcements, or uploading a sermon—and uses it to automatically populate your church website.

You can get your site up and running in minutes and leave the updating to us.

When you send newsletters, create events, or post sermons through your Faithlife church group, all that information shows up on your website instantly. You never have to worry about conflicting or out-of-date information on your site, because Faithlife keeps everything in sync automatically.

And if you already use Faithlife tools like Proclaim and Faithlife Sermons, your work is even more effortless.

Now when someone asks, “Who runs your church website?” you can truly answer, “No one.”

Engage your community

Your church website is the front door of your church. When families are searching for a new church home, they start online. When they hit your homepage, you want to be sure you’re putting your best foot forward—accurately representing the heart and mission of your ministry.

You also want to be sure everything is clear and up to date.

Visitors will easily find:

  • Service times and locations, including maps and text directions
  • About us pages—such as staff, beliefs, mission & vision, and special ministries
  • Links to sermons, study guides, curriculum, and more
  • Your church calendar and newsletters
  • A prominent link to online giving
  • And more

Plus, Faithlife Sites offers members-only pages, revealing custom content to anyone in your church’s Faithlife group. That way sensitive information—like your church directory—isn’t exposed to the the whole internet, but is still easy to find for those in your church.  

All of this helps bring more people into your church family, and bring your church family closer together.

No more waiting on the tech guy

Why rely on one tech-savvy person to make changes to your church website? If you or your staff need to change something, you should be able to do so immediately.  

With Faithlife Sites, you can. You can grant anyone admin access, and no one needs to know any coding.

Simply update the relevant information in your Faithlife.com church group—such as event details or a new small group discussion PDF—and it will show up instantly on your website, beautifully designed and ready to go.

All your information lives in one central, easy-to-navigate place.

If you can type, you can have a website.

Get started with a free church website now.

Women Delighting in the Word: Join Elyse Fitzpatrick for a Virtual Conference

How do we delight in reading God’s Word when we find ourselves bored by it? It’s an honest question that we’re oftentimes afraid to ask or even admit to ourselves.

But we all experience days when we find it difficult to enjoy reading our Bibles. We read a passage but the words seem to fall flat. Or we struggle to discover how seemingly obscure passages apply to our lives. On days we do have the desire to read, there’s often an endless list of things to be done, children to care for, or other distractions—or we’re simply to zapped of energy to read anything at all.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Join popular Bible teacher Elyse Fitzpatrick for a virtual conference as she teaches how to overcome what’s been holding you back from truly delighting in the Bible. Elyse reveals how God’s Word is a love story and every chapter is a scene that speaks of God’s eternal love for you, as a woman. Each section of the Bible—the Law, history, poetry, Epistles—points to his love and the good news of redemption through his Son.

Elyse’s four-session conference is a perfect event for both church and small group leaders to encourage women of all walks of life who want to grow in their passion for the Word and fall in love with their daily devotional times.

Watch Women Delighting in the Word live on May 18 & 19, and stream it unlimited times through July 31, 2018. To join, purchase a license for you, your family, small group, or even your church!

***

Elyse Fitzpatrick is a frequent speaker at churches, retreats, and large conferences as well as an author who has written over 20 books on daily living and the Christian life. She has an MA in biblical counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary.

Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and Do

Humans are hardwired for awe. Whether it’s the Grand Canyon, a beautiful work of art, or the birth of a baby, we love to be amazed. But there’s something—or someone, rather—who surpasses all others: God himself. This book by popular author Paul David Tripp reminds us of the importance of awe for shaping everything we choose, decide, think, desire, say, and do.
