You Aren't Alone in Feeling Alone

Never in the history of civilization have we been more connected and felt more alone. We are all so lonely. What if the ways we have set up our lives are fundamentally broken?

In the Find Your People video Bible study, bestselling author Jennie Allen looks at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along, Jennie offers practical solutions for creating true community in a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before.

Drawing on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life, Jennie helps us discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Along the way, we'll discover the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships.

You were created to play, engage, adventure, and explore—with others. Because while the ache of loneliness is real, it doesn't have to be your reality.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I here?” Recognize your calling, find your place of service, and follow God to a life of purpose.

This 40-day journey is for you—and it might surprise you. What if God hasn’t hidden His purposes for your life from you? That life doesn’t have to be so exhausting and heavy and confusing all the time? That God has given you everything you need to live out the calling He has placed on your life right this minute as you read this?

In Made for This, a beautiful blend of bestselling books Anything and Restless, join Bible teacher Jennie Allen on a 40-day interactive journey that takes you through a step-by-step process to guide you in answering life’s ultimate question.

This unique book will help you:

• Stop living afraid and insecure by discovering how God can use your dreams and passions for a greater purpose
• Identify the threads in your life and how they intentionally weave together 
• Trade control and safety for a life of God-honoring adventure by praying one prayer

Discover how to fully surrender to God and identify the threads of gifts, passions, places, relationships, and sufferings in your life—not to get what you want, but to find what God wants of you.

Stopping the spiral of toxic thoughts by learning how to become imitators of Christ.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen--the visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering--knows what it's like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: "I'll never be good enough." "Other people have better lives than I do." "God couldn't really love me."

We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it's the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ.

In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by:

• Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ
• Shifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to God
• Fighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delight
• Escaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitude
• Learning to forget what's behind so we can move ahead
• Defeating anxiety with a mind like Christ's

Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.

The Get Out of Your Head Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the book of Philippians to engage the mind and heart.

Sessions include:

1. Introduction: Spiraling Out
2. Make the Shift
3. Weapons We Use, Part I
4. Weapons We Use, Part II
5. A New Way to Live
6. A Mind Like Christ

Designed for use with the Get Out of Your Head Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.      

Never in the history of civilization have we been more connected and felt more alone. We are all so lonely. What if fundamentally the ways we have set up our lives is broken? We've withdrawn rather than moved through it. We want supper clubs and friends, instead of war partners. We have a wrong view of community.

This seven-session video Bible study begins with a look at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along. We will also discover throughout the study the five life patterns required to build deep, connected relationships:

• Proximity
• Shared Mission
• Transparency
• Accountability
• Consistency

The seven sessions include:

• Week 1: Introduction  It is not good for man to be alone. (Creation)
• Week 2: The Disruption of Community  Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. (Shame)
• Week 3: Proximity  I will make My dwelling among you. (God's Presence)
• Week 4: Transparency  And all who believed were together and had all things in common. (Acts)
• Week 5: Accountability  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (The Church Grows)
• Week 6: Shared Mission  Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. (Jesus and the Disciples)
• Week 7: Consistency  Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. (The Kingdom of God / New Heavens)

Stopping the spiral of toxic thoughts.

In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video-based Bible study, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God.

A lot of us, if we’re honest, are afraid. We hold our dreams close to our chest. But our passions have a purpose—they were engineered for God’s greater plan and he intends for us to use them for his glory and purposes.

Do you feel like you’re missing something? What if this feeling wasn’t a bad thing? It could be a longing for more of God and a catalyst to living the life that was designed before the foundations of the earth were laid.

In Restless, Bible teacher and fellow struggler Jennie Allen:

• Explores practical ways to identify the threads of your life
• How to intentionally weave those threads together
• Explains how your gifts, passions, places, and relationships aren’t random; they’re deliberate and meaningful
• Speaks the truth about your suffering: it’s possible it has produced the very thing you want to give back to the world

Using the story of Joseph, the dreamer, Jennie explains how his suffering, gifts, relationships—all of the threads of his life—fit into the greater story of God and how our stories can do the same. What would happen if God got bigger than your fear and insecurity, and you spent the rest of your life running without reservation after his purposes for you? You were created for more.

To dive deeper into the Restless message, additional resources such as a DVD study and leader/participant guide books are available.

Do you feel stuck?

So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but...

God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore it, to restore us.

The eight lessons in this study guide are simple and interactive, offering projects, stories, and Bible study to dig into Scripture, to deeply engage the mind and heart. Because as we realize that our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom.

Sessions include:

1. stuck
2. broken
3. mad
4. discontent
5. scared
6. overwhelmed
7. sad
8. unstuck

In this 8-session video study (streaming included), follow Jennie Allen through key passages in John's Gospel that demonstrate how Jesus is more than enough and how our thirsty hearts can only be quenched by the living water he offers.

Too many of us walk through life feeling like we don't measure up. We always seem to thirst for more. We think if we could only work harder or be better, we could be enough. But the truth is, we will never be enough. And we don't have to be.

We don't have to prove anything because Jesus has proven everything!

This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

• The study guide itself--with discussion questions, personal study prompts, and a leader's guide.
• An individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).

Jennie Allen--the visionary founder of the million-strong IF:Gathering--invites us to take a different road than the one we've been struggling along, a path where our souls overflow with contentment and joy. The Nothing to Prove Bible study is a call to:

• Find freedom from self-inflicted pressure by taking hold of what has already been given to you in Christ.
• Overflow with Christ's abundance, and bring life to others.
• Make it your goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what He does in and through you.
• Grow in your knowledge of Scripture with this exploration of the Gospel of John.

No more pretending. No more performing. No more fighting to prove yourself. As you wade in the refreshing truth that Jesus alone is sufficient for all your needs, discover what God can do through a soul completely in love with Him.
