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.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me.  

The visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, challenges you to exercise your God-given power to shift negative thinking patterns and take back control of your thoughts and emotions.  

In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to stop the spiral of toxic thoughts, and transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds.  

The lessons in Restless are designed for women to dig deeply into Scripture for themselves and complete study projects on their own. Then, during the group meetings, they share their insights from their personal study, watch a teaching video, then move into the ASK portion of the meeting using the Get Out of Your Head Conversation Cards to ask questions such as What keeps you from believing you can control your thought life?, or, What are you afraid of if you surrender your rights?   

Instructions for use:  

1. Lay out the cards for the week, questions facing up. 
2. Allow each woman to choose her favorite card. 
3. Lay out the Scripture cards for that week. Refer to them as needed for help processing as you share.  
4. Take turns having each woman ask the question on her card. 
5. Allow time for anyone who wants to share or respond.

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. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises of goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.

It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

This guide serves as a tool to prepare you in leading this Get Out of Your Head study and to encourage you along the way. It helps you as the leader to effectively point your group to the overarching theme of each lesson and point them to the themes of each study.

This Get Out of Your Head Leader’s Guide includes:

• Session-by-session helps to guide your group through the study.
• Walk-through for using each piece of the study: Videos, Study Guide, and Conversation Card Deck.
• The vision for Get Out of Your Head.
• Tips for leading your group, and much more.

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

What if you told God you would do anything . . . and he took you up on it? Anything is a prayer of surrender that will spark something. A prayer that will move you to stop chasing things that just make you feel happy and start living a surrendered life that matters. 

In the years since the initial release of Anything, God continued to stretch Jennie Allen and her faith because of the courageous prayer of surrender that she and her husband, Zac, prayed, "God, we will do anything. Anything." Previously caught in the dizzying haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie went on to begin living out the adventure God had written for them—to include becoming the founder of IF: Gathering, an organization to gather, equip, and unleash the next generation to live out their purpose. 

This newly revised edition boasts updates throughout, including:

• A new introduction
• An in-depth Bible study component for those who hope to lead a study on this topic
• And more!

Join Jennie on an adventure to discover your anything, those things that actually mean nothing until you know the God truly worth giving it all up for. And when you do, that will change everything.

Anything is also available in Spanish, Lo que me pidas.

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.
