  God gives us purpose in each relational season we experience: singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Discover how to thrive in each one in the updated edition of the bestselling Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, now with a new chapter.

  In a society where everyone is supposedly more connected, why do more people than ever feel so lonely? Even as marriage rates decline, studies show that most single adults still hope to get married. But how can we navigate life and love in this disconnected culture? Has social media eroded the institutions that brought us together–and the deeper emotional intimacy they provided?

  Pastor and author Ben Stuart guides you in navigating the four stages of a relational life and embracing the intentions and truths God has established for each one. This updated edition includes an additional chapter on how to end dating relationships well.

  As you embark on this journey, you will discover how to:

  *Leverage singleness to make an impact for the kingdom of God
  *Pursue dating with clarity and purity
  *Break up in a healthy and respectful way
  *Use the season of engagement wisely to prepare for marriage
  *Maximize your life as a married couple for shared mission
  *Continually seek God and His will throughout each stage

  Discover how to embrace God’s design, invest your life in what matters most, and find meaning in whatever season of life you’re in.

  Rest And War Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)

  $21.99

  Ben Stuart felt the dual struggle in his youth of purposelessness and powerlessness. He wanted his life to have meaning, and he wanted to overcome his struggles, but the self-help books he read only left him feeling defeated and discouraged. Then, in college, he encountered professors and pastors who helped him see that his life, far from being a disjointed or isolated struggle, was part of a compelling story that God had written. He had been invited into an epic adventure!

  In this five-session video study, Ben shares how this knowledge led him to develop a practical strategy of resting in God’s strength and warring against the enemy’s attempts to keep him locked into patterns of sin. He helps group members to likewise develop strategies that will enable them to: (1) overcome the deceptive strategies of sin aimed at their weaknesses; (2) orient their lives and loves around a God who cares for them, (2) recognize that under their misdirected affections and motivations is a deep longing for God, and (2) discover methods of overcoming personal shortcomings that do not rely on shame-based motivation.

  This study guide includes:
  *Individual access to five streaming video sessions
  *A guide to best practices for leading a group
  *Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time
  *Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions

  Sessions include:
  *Recognize the Battle
  *Engage with the Enemy
  *Connect with Your Commander
  *Connect with Your Community
  *Embrace the Mission

  Rest And War

  $18.99

  If you constantly wonder if there’s a point to life, it could be the perfect time to deconstruct your destructive thinking. God made you for a reason, and Rest and War will help you find your purpose and maximize your time, energy, and resources so you can best rise up to that reason.

  But this is not simply a book about having more discipline so you can live your dreams. Rest and War is about pushing back the chaos and bringing about order to your life. It is about driving the evil dictator out of your heart and establishing the true King so you can:

  *overcome the deceptive strategies of sin aimed specifically at your weaknesses that bend your behaviors to broken ends,

  *stop giving your heart to aimless affections and learn how to intentionally orient your life and loves around a God who cares for you,

  *recognize that under your misdirected affections and motivations is a deep and good longing for God, and

  *discover methods of overcoming personal shortcomings that do not rely on shame-based motivation.

  The writer of Hebrews declares we are called to “cast off all that hinders” and “run the race marked out for us.” We are called into the action! In our race we must both flee some things and pursue others. It’s not about being free of all struggles. Rather, we have been empowered to struggle well.
