Life can get messy and painful just when we think we're doing well. Roots of personal and generational trauma can break the surface again unexpectedly.It happened to Ian Morgan Cron in the form of a relapse at an unlikely time in his life: thirty years of sobriety from alcohol, the happy surprise of publishing success, life going well by most measures. Yet despite all his hard work processing the past, it came back to bite him. He began self-medicating under cover of prescription drugs and landed in residential rehab.In The Fix Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Ian employs his characteristic humor and pithy wit--along with some agonizing self-disclosure--to guide readers through his own mid-life double-take on the 12 Steps. Yes, they save the lives of addicts by getting users into sobriety. But they also lead individuals into profound spiritual awakenings, as millions of members across eight decades of AA history have testified."I'm not an addiction counselor. I'm not a researcher into the science of addiction. I'm not a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating people with substance-use disorders," writes Ian. "But my relapse and the solution I found for it are fresh and vivid in my mind. What I've gleaned is worth more to me now than ever. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me on this journey. If you don't mind following a gimpy guide who can help you trudge the road to recovery, then I'm your guy."

Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren't we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn't have anything to do with that. Doesn't the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?Does it surprise you that Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went. Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil's tool of temptation. And we've all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.In this six-session video Bible study, professor Gisela Kreglinger and pastor Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy, and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God's earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things.

What comes to mind when you think about the end times? If you are like many Christians, you might not think about it much at all. You have a carpe diem kind of faith that focuses on the here and now. Why occupy your thoughts with the "not yet" when you have enough to deal with in the "right now"? The answer is simple: because Jesus focused on the end times. A full thirty percent of his teachings in the Gospels have to do with discourses on heaven, hell, and the events that will signal the final age. So, if Jesus made the end times a priority, it only makes sense that his followers would make it a priority as well.Perhaps one of the reasons why you don't like to think about the end times is because you know it will involve turmoil and strife. Indeed, Jesus said the final days would be marked by events that include economic turmoil, political conflicts, ethnic tensions, persecution of Christians, famines, wars and rumors of wars, diseases, false prophets, waning faith in Jesus, and other fearful sights. Jesus declared, "All these are the beginning of birth pains" (Matthew 24:9). Labor pains increase in frequency and intensity as the delivery draws near. Jesus was speaking of a day in which the same will happen in the world.Now, when it comes to considering these events that will signal the end of the age, you have a choice as to how you will respond. You can these circumstances through the eyes of fear or faith. The eyes of fear see little reason for hope and ample reason for anxiety. However, the eyes of faith see history inching closer and closer to a new era that will usher in a heavenly destiny--a time when you will "reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize" (Philippians 3:14 nlt). God has told you what to expect not to scare you but to prepare you. He is like a pilot on the intercom telling the passengers about impending turbulence. A good pilot keeps his travelers informed. Your good Father does the same!God wants you to have a deep-seated confidence that he is firmly on his throne and the future is in his hands. He has given prophecy to empower his saints with the reassurance that whatever happens in this life, he is ultimately sovereign.

The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to them. Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way--and experienced both good and bad consequences--and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories.In this ten-session workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite stories of these men in the Bible. Stories include: Noah: When You're Low on HopeJob: The Most Famous Conversation in the BibleJacob: Wrestling with the PastMoses: The Voice from the Mop BucketDavid: Colossal CollapsesJoseph: Unanswered QuestionsMatthew: Friend of FlopsPeter: The Gospel of the Second ChanceLazarus: The Final WitnessPaul: Don't Write Off Anyone Each session includes five insights on each character and Bible study questions to help you delve into the stories and apply them to your life.
