Resilient : Restoring Your Weary Soul In These Turbulent Times
$26.99

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge gives readers who are drained from the madness of modern life the tools they need to follow Jesus’ path of supernatural resilience so they can recover their joy, strengthen their hearts, and thrive through the storm.

The human soul has a built-in yearning for joy and beauty and all good things. But that craving for life has taken a real beating in recent years. Between false promises of ease and comfort on one side and the sheer trauma of global disease and disasters on the other, people today are facing a shortage of peace, happiness, and strength.

In Resilient, Eldredge provides skills and tools to strengthen your heart and soul–and reveals a path toward genuine recovery and resilience provided by Jesus himself. Drawing on wisdom from Scripture and Christian tradition, and illustrated throughout with powerful, true stories of grit and survival, Resilient will help readers:

*recover from the trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic;

*tap into supernatural graces like the river of life that God promises his people;

*learn to be patient with themselves–genuine recovery from spiritual and emotional trauma takes time and intentionality;

*create a plan, because resilience and victory aren’t going to come with a swipe on your home screen; and

*discover deep wells of freedom and strength through Christ who lives within us.

Thriving requires a resilient soul. This book will help readers find the resilience they need when the world has gone mad–and discover in Jesus himself the strength that prevails.

Narrow Path : How The Subversive Way Of Jesus Satisfies Our Souls
$25.00

A compelling call to embrace the countercultural values of Jesus, which lead to a life of love, peace, and fulfillment, from the bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, winner of the Christianity Today Book Award.

We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better–whether it’s more money, social media fame, choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, “narrow” seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options . . . or be seen as narrow-minded?

Which is why the most well-known talk in the history of the world–the Sermon on the Mount–is also the most paradoxical one. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious . . . and the broader path as the more confining one.

Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, explores what today’s broad and narrow paths look like so you can discern which one you’re on. The answer may surprise you–and will help you pursue the way of Jesus more deeply when it comes to loving God and others, prayer, sexual desire, conflict, money, anxiety, and more.

The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus’s timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!

Right Kind Of Confident
$18.99

Award-winning author and popular Bible teacher Mary Kassian shows readers how they can be transformed into bold, indomitable women when they develop a reverent fear of God that rejects the wrong and embraces the right kind of confidence.

Women today are plagued with fears, insecurities, and anxieties. Popular wisdom says the answer is to “just believe in yourself” and “claim your truth,” but while these sound great on the surface, many women are still feeling unsure, worried, and confused. Popular Bible teacher Mary Kassian asks, “What if the solution isn’t looking within to drum up more self-confidence? What if the best way be the bold, courageous women God designed us to be is to find a source of confidence that is unchanging, firm, and trustworthy?” Drawing directly from Scripture with tips for practical application, Kassian shows us how to:
*gain greater insight into emotions like worry and anxiety;

*identify and reject the world’s sources of confidence that ultimately always let us down; and

*replace debilitating fear with the empowering, reverent fear that produces the kind of confidence that lasts.

As the Wise Sage promised, “in the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence” (Proverbs 14:26), and when we embrace that, we go from scared to secure, from agitated to awed, from daunted to daring.

Men We Need
$17.99

The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a “real man” is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that’s not really the point of being a man and it’s not the purpose for which men were made.

Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: “Keepers of the Garden.” Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including “avid indoorsmen” like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.

Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant’s signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to read it.

Clinging To Hope
$17.99

Respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll opens God’s Word to help you understand how you can find hope in times of crisis.

All of us are in desperate need of strength to endure and hope to carry on. Life is difficult and demanding. It’s often filled with pain, heartaches, setbacks, and detours. Disappointments in others sadden us, scandals among those we respect shock us, and disputes in our families, churches, or workplaces demoralize us. When such troubles strike, they can be downright devastating. But they don’t have to be!

In Clinging to Hope, Chuck Swindoll reassures us that we can endure unexpected calamities. How? By taking our stand on the strong foundation of God’s Word. When trials and tribulations rumble in like a fleet of bulldozers to demolish our lives, we can emerge from the rubble with a strong resolve to recover and rebuild. Not just to survive, but to thrive.

In Clinging to Hope, Chuck will help you answer questions such as:

*Why is there so much suffering?
*Why did my family member or friend succumb to health issues?
*How can I carry on when I have no strength left?
*Why is there so much conflict in the world?
*Where can I find hope when there is none to be found?

Stand Up Stand Strong
$16.99

If we live according to the gospel, we’re going to make waves. Why? Because the way of Christ is countercultural. It doesn’t go with the flow, compromise on truth, or stay silent in the face of injustice–so neither can we. No matter how young or old we are, or how much or how little influence we think we have, God calls us to boldly engage our upside-down culture through the lens of his truth.

With powerful examples from Scripture and stories from teens today and through the centuries, Sara Barratt equips teens to live with a biblical worldview, approach today’s hot-button issues with godly wisdom, and influence their generation for the glory of God. Tackling tough topics like sexuality, addiction, identity, media, and much more, Sara offers practical ways to stay rooted in God’s truth while engaging culture with the redemptive story of the gospel–no matter the cost.

Holy Noticing : The Bible Your Brain And The Mindful Space Between Moments
$15.99

Does your life ever feel like one series of rushed moments after another?

Do you want to feel more present and connected to those you love? Do you want to be able to listen without thinking the whole time of what you’re going to say next? Do you want to feel less distracted, less busy, and more whole? Most of us spend our distracted lives longing to get to the next, better moment and fail to notice the present one. We lack space between one task and the next, one thought and the next, one email and the next. Social media, TV, work deadlines, and family stress steal our enjoyment and engagement in the moment.

Holy Noticing will teach you how to:
*become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and environment
*recognize Christ’s presence in the moment
*reduce your stress by developing the ability to focus on God and people rather than tasks

Many today think mindfulness is dangerous, unchristian, or associated with Eastern religions-and often it is! But Dr. Charles Stone reveals that the art of holy noticing-purposefully paying attention to God as he works in us, our relationships, and our world-is a spiritual discipline Christians have practiced for millennia. Holy Noticing explores the historically Christian and biblical roots of this lifestyle, as well as Dr. Stone’s BREATHe model, which teaches you to be more engaged with Christ in the everyday moments that too often slip right by us.

Discover the lost spiritual discipline of holy noticing today and learn to engage the world like Christ.

Crazy Faith : It’s Only Crazy Until It Happens
$26.00

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith?
Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms.

There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith–one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.

In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to:

– believe for the impossible
– choose hope over fear
– be alert to the voice of God
– cope with loss and doubt
– develop a deeper level of trust in God
– speak faith-filled declarations
– inspire crazy faith in others

God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

Keep The Faith

Will you finish the race strong? Dr. David Jeremiah offers biblically based keys to keeping your faith steadfast when life hits you hard. Regardless of the circumstances, God will hold you up to help you face whatever comes your way.

Every day, everyone in the world faces challenging moments and circumstances. Perhaps in your marriage. Your career. Your health. Your personal integrity. When times get tough, people often ask, “Why is this happening to me?” If you’re feeling vulnerable during a difficult time in your life, it is important to embrace your faith and the everlasting love of God. Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Keeping the faith, even for someone like Paul, meant not giving in to the world’s relentless influence. That’s what you must do as well.In Keep the Faith: How to Stand Strong in a World Turned Upside Down, New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah:

*provides you with a practical guide to leaning on the strength of your faith, even in the toughest of times.

*focuses on four common daily battles that can chip away at your confidence in God: fear, discouragement, worry, and doubt.

*explores four blessings that are sure to bolster your faith when inevitable challenges come: grace, perseverance, responsibility, and fortitude.

The uplifting messages of encouragement and strength in Keep the Faith are curated from Dr. Jeremiah’s books Slaying the Giants in Your Life, Captured by Grace, Everything You Need, Searching for Heaven on Earth, and A Bend in the Road.

Fix : How The Twelve Steps Offer A Surprising Path Of Transformation For Th
$29.99

Did you know that anyone–addicts or non-addicts–can benefit from working the Twelve Steps and find the freedom, joy, and intimacy with God that their hearts long for?

We all suffer from a sense of spiritual homelessness–a feeling that we’re not fully at home in the world. To cope with our painful feelings and life traumas, we search for quick “fixes” that eventually become habitual, self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve.

As a person in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, Ian Cron is no stranger to these destructive habits. It wasn’t until he embraced the Twelve Steps that he found true freedom. He knows from personal experience that Twelve Step recovery is more than just a life-saving strategy for guiding substance users into sobriety. Everybody is addicted to something to numb the discomfort of living in a messed-up world, he says, but the good news is that if you committedly “work the steps,” you will eventually have a vital spiritual awakening that will give you an entirely new and radically beautiful orientation toward the life God has for you.

If you long for sustainable healing and joy amid life’s messiness, The Fix invites you to:

*Journey step-by-step through a spiritual curriculum that has helped millions overcome trauma, pain, and brokenness for over eight decades

*Understand how the Twelve Steps can be a transformative tool not only for people with chemical or behavioral addictions but for anyone who wants to move beyond self-help to a spiritual awakening

*Catch yourself in the act of self-sabotaging behaviors and understand how each day is a new opportunity to trade in self-willed reformation for grace-powered transformation

“My original subtitle for this book–Twelve Steps to Unscrewing Your Screwed-Up Life–was a little over the top,” Ian comments. “But anyone who has ever fallen for a quick fix (like drugs, alcohol, porn, overeating, work, religion, people-pleasing, and more) knows firsthand how our self-prescribed treatment plans derail us. They might not be as visible as empty bottles stashed inside a desk drawer, but they are just as life-complicating and soul-crushing.”

With his characteristic wit and transparent self-disclosure, Ian guides us in learning how to work each of the Twelve Steps so we will finally be given a “new pair of glasses” through which we will be able to see ourselves, others, and the world in a startlingly new way–and ultimately take hold o

Overcomers : God’s Vision For You To Thrive In An Age Of Anxiety And Outrag
$29.99

Are you ready to live fully prepared and fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? As Christians, we can be courageous and confident, knowing that God has placed us in human history for His purposes, and He will empower us regardless of our circumstances. Drawing on the book of Revelation and historical examples, The Overcomers will put steel in the spines of believers and remind them of the fierce, conquering, commanding authority of God over all the earth.

You were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today!

In The Overcomers, Matt Chandler reminds readers that they don’t have to be anxious or afraid of anything in the present or in the future because both have already been won. We are not victims but overcomers–and we are a key part of what God is working out in our day. God is at work in the mess, just as He has always been, and He continues to accomplish His purpose of seeking and saving the lost.

In this book, believers will:

*Find courage and confidence from fellow believers who have gone before us.

*Feel empowered as God reminds them of His promises fulfilled and yet to come.

*Understand the strategies, tactics, and deceptions Satan uses to try to keep us paralyzed with anxiety and fear.

*Learn to live a victorious Christian life marked by the power and presence of God.

The apostle John wrote his letter to a certain group of people in a particular place at a specific time. Although it was written to them, it was also written for us. The Overcomers takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God’s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

The Awe of God

In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear. The fear of the Lord is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.

In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:

*Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
*Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
*Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
*Building an eternal legacy
*Confidence, fearlessness, and security
*Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed

The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. Experience the intimate relationship with God that y

Hang On Let Go
$17.99

Bestselling author Frank Viola writes a time-tested field guide to weathering the storms of life.

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a marriage that’s in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control. Life comes apart at the seams, and hope begins to evaporate.

Hang On, Let Go was written from the pit of numerous soul-piercing adversities in Frank’s own life. In this volume, he draws from the insights he gleaned from the Lord, friends, and writers during his darkest days. The wisdom contained in this volume became the bread and butter Frank relied on, helping him to be developed by his trials rather than destroyed by them.

Each short chapter explores a different aspect of the storm: When You Need to Regrip, Walking in the Darkness, Abandoning Fix-It Mode, The Story in Our Head, Just Breathe, and much more. This book is about how to react to intense trials in your life with two seemingly contradictory impulses: hang on, let go.

How is that possible? . . . Read on. Frank explores the how and the why in this highly practical, incisive, no-nonsense guidebook on how to thrive during the inevitable pitfalls of life.

Ultimate Security : Finding A Refuge In Difficult Times
$17.00

Where do I find security?

Discovering the answer to that question is a universal quest. Mankind has addressed the basic human drive for security through such avenues as the police, the military, insurance policies, investments, and governmental social programs. These efforts cost billions of dollars each year.

Yet, in spite of our best attempts, in most instances, we are ultimately powerless to achieve real security. In fact, our only hope of attaining genuine security is to first come to grips with the fact that any man-made agency is powerless to provide it in the end. Many circumstances remain totally outside our control.

Thankfully, there is another source of security we can turn to-one that is completely different in nature and in the type of security it offers. This alternative source can provide both total and permanent security. What is it? It is the wisdom of God.

Legendary Bible teacher Derek Prince explores various ways in which God provides security, highlighting the conditions we must meet in order to qualify for His protection in each area of our lives-spiritual, physical, financial, and so forth-as well as be protected from fear and worry, discouragement and depression, and criticism and lies.

We must have a solid foundation that can endure the pressures and difficulties we inevitably face. That foundation is the Word of God and the wisdom it provides. God’s wisdom reveals His eternal nature, contains His everlasting counsel, and shows us the way through the shifting sands of time to the Eternal Rock upon which we can all build with absolute confidence.

$14.99

Each of us has an internal drive that grows restless from living a mundane and goalless life. Shane Perry has seen people overcome seemingly impossible circumstances to live the life of their dreams.

Shane Perry has followed the principles in this book. They have worked for him, time and time again. They are timeless truths rooted in Scripture, and they carry great validity when followed and applied.

Divine Intentions : The Life You’re Supposed To Live, The Person God Meant
$19.99

Divine Intentions takes readers on a journey of self-discovery through four key concepts: rescued, restored, relabeled, and redirected. Most people, even Christ-followers, are wounded at their core, with soul-level injuries that affect their identity. They may be hurting from past circumstances or feel trapped in their current ones. Basic discipleship sends believers on a journey…but it’s tough to take those steps while you’re hurting. Doug Reed offers healing for those who are searching for answers to both their identities in Christ and struggling with wounds from the past or present. He shares his own personal story of restoration from pornography, pride, and other issues, helping to lead readers into the light of God’s love.

Winks From Scripture
$16.99

God isn’t a firefly that we can catch in a jar. We can’t capture His ways. There’s no catching up to the One who created existence. No controlling the One holds the world in his Hands. Our sovereign God evades our figuring out.

When we spot Him, it’s only because He chose to make Himself known for that moment in time. Then He hides. He leaves us wondering where He’ll show up next.
The journey of faith is the catching of flickers. Like the dancing of fireflies in the midnight summer sky: God shows up, then He’s gone.

In Winks from Scripture, Chris Palmer takes you through New Testament narratives, pointing out ambiguities and uncertainties that resist clarity or answers. If we dig a little deeper, God just might surprise us with a wink.

John’s Gospel, for example, opens by declaring, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Throughout John, however, people stubbornly insist He is just a man. Jesus plainly tells the Samaritan woman at the well that He is the Messiah, yet she runs and tells her village, “Come, see a man…”

God winks and winks. In the end, John circles back to the beginning of his gospel: “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…”

These brief, luminous winks of radiance into our lives leave us with a sense of awe, anticipating the next wink that will signal that God is out there somewhere. He is watching and letting us know He is at work among us.

End Of Spectator Church
$19.99

Moving from Passivity to Purpose

For many Christians, church is defined by attending an occasional Sunday service mired in an audience mentality. Virtually ineffective and having no impact, we have become a cultural Christianity that creates passive believers. Yet the Church is meant for so much more!

Tony Cooke challenges the way some see church with biblical and historical evidence that paints a radically different picture.Through New Testament exhortations, Tony mobilizes the body of Christ to action. He reminds us to be a living, fully engaged body carrying life to those who are lost and without hope.

The End of Spectator Church launches you from inactivity to full participation across the street, across town, or across the ocean. Tony writes with contagious zeal and encouragement as he reveals:
*Your divine purpose for such a time as this
*Hurting people are waiting on the gifts inside you
*The body of Christ only functions fully when each part is in place
*What the true “priesthood of all believers” looks like today

The call to radical engagement is sounding, and it’s time to answer. Take your place in a fully awakened and activated Church!

Llegar Mas Alto Con Dios En Or – (Spanish)
$14.99

Aprender a orar es uno de los mayores desafios en la vida de un cristiano. A. W. Tozer sealo que la mayor maldicion de la Iglesia es la oracion sin respuesta, y que a mucha gente no parece importarle eso. Tal vez no entiendan de que se trata la oracion contestada. Tozer describe esto como solo el puede hacerlo, describiendo el tipo de oracion que Dios responde y el tipo de oracion que lo deja en silencio. En ultima instancia, debe preguntarse: Mis oraciones de hoy son mas poderosas y efectivas que hace un ao? !Nuestro buen Padre quiere que lo sean!

El libro comienza con la escalera de Jacob y su tema de ascender a la misma presencia de Dios. Que mejor lugar para comenzar a dialogar con Dios? Solo El puede ensearnos lo que esta en Su corazon, cual es Su voluntad y cual podria ser nuestra parte en ella.

Learning how to pray is one of the greatest challenges in a Christian’s life. A. W. Tozer pointed out that the church’s greatest curse is unanswered prayer and that many people do not seem bothered by that. Maybe they don’t understand what answered prayer is all about. Tozer outlines this as only he can, describing the kind of prayer God answers and the kind of prayer that leaves Him silent. Ultimately, you have to ask yourself: are my prayers today more powerful and effective than they were a year ago? Our good Father wants them to be!

The book opens with Jacob’s Ladder and its theme of ascending into God’s very presence. What better place to begin dialoguing with God? Only He can teach us what is on His heart, what His will is, and what our part in it could be.

Your Calling Here And Now
$18.99

Our vocation is the outworking of how God has made us. It is not a goal on the horizon but a present reality that we are called to discern and explore. However, in the midst of our daily lives, finding meaning can prove both difficult and elusive, and we are often left wondering if we are missing out on God’s purpose for our lives.

Gordon Smith invites us to reflect on our vocation and step into God’s call in the present moment. When discerning our vocation feels overwhelming, Smith offers a simple question as a way forward: At this time and place, who am I meant to be, and what am I called to do?

Theologically and historically grounded, Your Calling Here and Now offers theological reflections and spiritual practices that will help you discern God’s call on your life. Whether you are navigating career transitions or looking for meaning in the ordinary, God has a purpose for your life for the here and now.

How To Walk In The Supernatural Power Of God
$17.00

Today’s church is not reaching many of the lost, sick, and hurting because believers are not taking the authority and power they have been given through Christ and going out to the world as His body. Guillermo Maldonado believes that the gospel message being presented today is anemic because it is not accompanied by signs and wonders confirming that Jesus has been raised from the dead and is alive today, still able to heal, do miracles, and conquer the devil’s oppression.

Through Maldonado’s insights on the supernatural, you will:
” Recognize human substitutes for God’s power
” Develop faith for the miraculous
” Seek God’s anointing to carry out His calling
” Receive the glory that accompanies His supernatural presence
” Protect yourself from the devil’s deception
” Learn to hear God’s voice
” Overcome demonic attacks
” Understand how to operate in the supernatural

Once you grasp the full revelation of our supernatural God and live in it, you will be able to reach the world for Christ!

Living Out Loud
$17.99

If you cringe at the thought of pulling out a napkin and drawing a chasm that only the cross can span, you’re in good company.

While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t know how to bring it up. Let’s face it… it’s not easy to go from “How is the weather” to “Jesus died for you,” and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?

Enter Living Out Loud.

Living out loud is not a strategy for sharing the gospel, but a way of living that begets the gospel. It’s about developing an active, natural posture of loving God and talking about Him as we go about our daily lives and rhythms in ways that are obvious to those around us.

It’s about making God such an integral part of our daily lives that we can’t help but talk about Him–at home, at work, with family and with friends–not as a sales pitch, but as a natural part of our regular conversations.

Living out loud isn’t about “sharing” the gospel; it’s about “living” it. When who we are as new creatures becomes obvious to those around us in the way we speak and live, and love, evangelism stops becoming a duty, and simply becomes inevitable.

In Living Out Loud, you’ll discover:

*How to bring a refreshing countercultural presence in one relationship and one conversation at a time

*How to demonstrate our beliefs to unbelievers in our daily lives and habits

*How to spiritually engage others in a way that feels natural

It’s time for a new approach to evangelism. Let Living Out Loud show you the way to communicate and truly embody the message of the gospel.
