FOR ADULTS

This study is a resource to help believers answer the questions that non-believers have about God. Many Christians experience fear when thinking about sharing the Good News of Jesus with others. This fear comes from not knowing how to respond to those who are skeptical about God. This course prepares you to help answer questions while also teaching a simple way to share your faith with those who do not have a relationship with God.

Marriage can feel like a battlefield at times, full of stress, unmet expectations, and struggles for control. The Tap Out–Power Up marriage class is designed to help couples find strength in surrender. Together, we’ll learn what it means to “tap out” of fear, apathy, anger, and conflict, and “power up” by drawing from God’s wisdom and strength. Through biblical teaching, real-life application, and practical tools, couples will discover how to release burdens, surrender control, and receive God’s power to build a marriage that not only survives but thrives.

The Circle of Security is a visual map of attachment. It is used in parent education and intervention programs to help parents and caregivers better understand and meet children's attachment needs. It depicts the interplay between a child's need for exploration (going out) and their need for comfort and safety (coming in), with the parents and caregivers acting as both a Secure Base and a Safe Haven.

The world would have us believe our lives would be better if we had just a little more. If this is true, then why don’t people who have a little more seem content? God Owns It All tackles the money question we all ask: How much is enough? The answer to this question is found in God’s Word. With over four decades of experience in the financial-services industry, Ron Blue presents financial principles that are affirmed by the authority of Scripture and tested by the marketplace. He knows that God’s principles work and are needed in our finances. These biblically based principles will equip us to approach money management and financial planning with freedom, generosity, contentment, and confidence. When we apply the biblical truths offered in this study, our finances will be ordered, our decisions will be simplified, and our experience will invite contentment in all areas of our lives.

Mere Christianity explores the core beliefs of Christianity by providing an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age. The book brings together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War II. Lewis discusses that everyone is curious about: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and kindness.

Recent research has discovered that about 70% of youth from Church homes abandon their faith in college due to the following reasons:
a) “Learning about evolution when I went away to college.”
b) “Rational thought makes religion go out the window.”
c) “Lack of any sort of scientific or specific evidence of a creator.”
This study is designed to provide facts that will strengthen the faith of both parents and youth
This course will show how all the above statements are false by reviewing what the last 100 years of scientific studies have been finding along with what the Bible says.
