Huddle Guide (Discipleship Manual)
Huddles are about following Jesus alongside others.
In this guide, you'll see how Jesus gathered His followers, asking them to come close, listen to His teaching, watch how He interacted with others, and follow His example. Jesus’ life and ministry radically transformed their understanding of religion, from rules and regulations to loving God and loving others.
As we grow and come alongside others, we are joining God in bringing hope and healing to the broken places of our world.

PSLAMS Devotional
The Psalms encourage us to move from talking about God to talking with him. Prayer is a conversation with God. Spending time reading and reflecting on the Psalms raises our awareness of God's presence and prompts us to respond to his voice. Enjoy this 4-Week Devotional Guide.
Parables of Jesus
Jesus used ordinary stories to reveal extraordinary truths about God’s Kingdom.
This study explores His parables through a “then and now” lens, helping readers understand what each story meant to Jesus’ original audience and consider how His teaching challenges us to think, live, and follow Him today.
Women of the Old Testament
The women of the Old Testament were complex, courageous, and deeply human.
This study explores the stories of women God used in extraordinary ways, examining their faith, struggles, choices, and influence within God’s unfolding story. Their lives invite us to recognize how God continues to work through ordinary people today.
Memoirs: Looking at Jesus through the Eyes of John (The Gospel of John)
The Gospel of John offers an intimate remembrance of Jesus through the eyes of the disciple who knew and loved Him deeply. This study explores Jesus’ words, signs, and personal encounters, revealing more fully who He is and what it means to believe in Him, follow Him, and experience the life and hope He brings.
ACTS: An Invitation to Courageous Living
Acts is more than a history of the early Church. It is a story of dramatic encounters, transformed lives, and ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry the good news of Jesus into the world. This study invites readers to discover how that same Spirit continues to work in and through us today.
1 John
Christianity is anchored in who Jesus is and what He has done. This study of 1 John calls us back to the foundations of our faith: belief, obedience, and love. Through John’s words, readers are invited to experience the assurance and transforming power of a life rooted in Jesus and guided by God’s indwelling Spirit.
Prayer
This companion study guide is designed to be used alongside Philip Yancey’s Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? Through reading, reflection, and thoughtful questions, it invites readers to explore honest questions about prayer, deepen their conversations with God, and discover how prayer shapes our relationship with Him.
The Way of Discipleship
The Way of Discipleship is an intentional, relational journey designed to help people become more like Jesus and live out His calling. Organized around eleven essential practices, the guide brings a discipler and disciple together to learn from Jesus, put His teachings into practice, and prepare to help others do the same. It is about shaping both our character, who we are, and our calling, what we do.
