Shaken Bible Study: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life's Storms
Life is not easy. We all experience the ups and downs life - wins and losses. The world does not define you, but it certainly does try to and often, we let it. God has already defined us and because our identities are secure, we don't have to ride the roller coaster of life. The Shaken Bible Study is a 4-session study with Tim Tebow who has ridden the highs and lows in his NFL journey and learned what it means to be grounded in who you are no matter what life throws your way. The study is divided into four sessions, and each session opens with a big idea; offers a set of in-depth discussion questions drawn from the DVD, the Bible, and the book, Shaken; and closes with a prayer.

Lioness Arising: Wake Up and Change Your World
Tap into your wild side and awaken the power of God within you! Using the prowess of the lioness as a metaphor, Bevere urges women to become spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally strong; embrace others; use their gifts of intuition; work for their community's welfare; and become a ferocious force for good in the world. The lioness rises from her slumber, a magnificent image of strength, passion, and beauty. Her mere presence commands the landscape, protects her young, and empowers the lion. In groups, lionesses become a creative and strategic force to be reckoned with, acting as one to change the world around them. YOU TOO ARE A LIONESS. Women, it's time to...AWAKEN...God did not save you to tame you. AWAKEN...to a life of fierce passion. AWAKEN...to dangerous prayer, stunning power, and teamed purpose.
