How to Fight Racism by Jamar Tisby
How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it.
How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework–the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice–that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior.
Now with a new preface and additional content, Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution.
The Good and Beautiful You: Discovering the Person Jesus Created You to Be
Heal Your Toxic Self-Narratives to Experience True Transformation
The Christian faith is not only about belief and practices, it is also about the kind of people that we become. Yet some of the biggest barriers to our transformation come from our toxic self-narratives. These narratives shape the way we see ourselves and the way we interact in the world. God designed us with a deep longing in our souls to be wanted, loved, alive, and connected to God. Healing our souls requires more than knowing what God thinks about us. Our healing comes not through reason alone, but through revelation.
“The best practice I have seen in Christian spiritual formation” was Dallas Willard’s endorsement of the Good and Beautiful series in its early years. Now this fourth book in the series, The Good and Beautiful You, addresses the self-narratives that hinder spiritual growth and the desires of the soul that only God can satisfy.
Trustworthy: Overcoming Our Greatest Struggles to Trust God (WOMEN ONLY)
When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try.
In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, you can join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.
