Colorado Springs pastor and author Greg Lindsey joins John and Allen to talk about how to leave shame and regret behind in order to pursue the rest of our "story" in more freedom. Greg shares his own vulnerable story of redemption as well as concepts from his new book, The Rest of Your Story, including ways the enemy uses our past to keep us from realizing our purpose, the difference between living forgiven and living free, and why control is never the path to the story God created us for.

This new "deeper life" series is drawn from recent staff workshops where John taught on two advanced spiritual skills needed in this particular hour and cultural moment. In the first half of the series, you'll discover how to enter into deeper communion with God through actual, intimate encounters with him—and how to make this a regular part of your sustenance rather than the rare, occasional experience. The session concludes with an extended communion exercise led by John. To fully engage, find a place free of distractions where you can listen with your eyes closed.

We are all living in a global moment of massive instability. Culture, technology, and constant chaos actually are conditioning us against God. The result is a growing sense of restlessness, weariness, and disillusionment. John and Allen describe how the only rational response for believers in this world gone mad is to risk looking weird as we pursue God above all else. In other words, you must choose to be a martian!

Mark Sayers continues his conversation with John and Blaine Eldredge about significant shifts happening during this time of massive global instability. The second half of the series focuses on the ways God is on the move, worldwide revival is accelerating, and spiritual hunger is increasing with younger generations. Mark also explores how a platform mentality is misshaping our contemporary world and contrasts this to the biblical call of Christians to live as pillars.

If you're feeling like this world is an increasingly unstable place, you're not alone...or crazy. During moments of intense global transition and shaking, it's helpful to have an accessible voice explain the historical and cultural forces at work from a Christian worldview. In this two-part series, Mark Sayers joins John and Blaine Eldredge for a fascinating, globe-spanning conversation. In Part 1, he explains how we're actually living between two eras—what he refers to as the 'gray zone'— and the ambiguity, challenges, and opportunities of such times.
