Bible Study Series

Sleeping Giant - DVD Leader Kit is a 6 session Bible study for men. If you're looking to disciple the men of your church, to provide a greater context for your existing men's ministry, or to start a men's ministry from scratch, this "Men's Ministry in a Box" is an ideal resource for you. Author Kenny Luck uses the term "sleeping giant" to describe the men in the body of Christ and the incredible untapped potential within. Pastors intuitively sense it but are sometimes unsure how to meaningfully engage and integrate the men of their churches. Sleeping Giant introduces a process to move men along an intentional spiritual pathway from "affiliated" to "activated." The Sleeping Giant model begins with a core team chosen by the pastor. Working together, this core team will create a vision for men based on the pastor's vision for the church while initiating their own spiritual path. Through the six sessions, this core team will go through the process of Get In, Get Healthy, Get Strong, and Get Going. Upon completion, they will be ready to lead other men through that same process, creating a multiplying effect that spills over into the rest of the church and the community.

The four stages of effective men's ministry:

• Get In – to get men on a spiritual pathway with other men who share similar convictions
• Get Healthy – to move men from surface conversations to deeper "below the water line" honesty
• Get Strong – to build men into more biblically knowledgeable and more focused husbands, fathers, and leaders
• Get Going – to send qualified disciples into ongoing ministries with the church

Features:

• Kit includes the Sleeping Giant book, a Core Team Workbook, and 2 DVDs.
• Core Team Workbook includes practical activities for greater understanding and integration, case studies, group practice, individual growth exercises, and training from the trade book.
• DVDs include teaching videos and messages to pastors and core team members.
• DVDs also contain promotional ideas and publicity tools.
• Other pieces: operational timeline matrix, easy-to-understand vision of the Sleeping Giant model, catalytic event planning resource, and networking ideas.

Benefits:

• When church men are activated—not just affiliated—church initiatives are accelerated and achieved faster.
• When churches are intentionally investing in men, they have a robust leadership engine for driving on-going ministry.
• A healthy men's ministry allows the pastor to focus on the core church ministries.
• The Sleeping Giant model doesn't replace ongoing ministry—it enhances ongoing ministry by building on your church's DNA.
• It also helps solve the problems of male flight, giving, church growth, church health, justice, staffing and leadership, energy for initiatives, and more.

Family: Leading a Family - DVD Leader Kit is a resource that will help men accept their calling and experience God's blessing as the spiritual leaders to their wives and children. More than ever, families are desperate for spiritual leadership. And that starts with the husband and father. Are your men equipped and ready to assume the role and responsibility God has for them? This Get Healthy study from Kenny Luck can help and revolutionize not only the lives of the men in your church or small group, but also the lives of their wives and children — and impact generations to come.

Intimacy: Understanding a Woman's Heart is a Bible study for men that is part of the "God's Man Series" by Kenny Luck. If you want true intimacy and connection with a woman, you'll need to grow up and graduate from God's school of character. Few men would ever embark on an important project, a significant career change, or a major athletic challenge without gathering all the tactical knowledge possible to ensure a good outcome. Yet, when it comes to relationships with women, most men fail to apply the simple principles that make them successful in other areas of life. It may be easy to get into a relationship with a woman, but it's not so easy to make the relationship work well. It takes energy. It demands effort. It requires education and understanding. God is available to help. But there's a catch: God's man must connect with God's purposes before he can truly connect with his wife (or wife-to-be). God uses the marriage relationship to promote growth in men's lives, because it shows us our character gaps and drives us to Him for solutions. (8 sessions)

• Discussion based
• Video driven
• A Get Healthy study (from the Sleeping Giant Ministry Strategy)

Temptation: Standing Strong Against Temptation is a men's Bible study of the Book of James that will equip you to think clearly and choose wisely when dealing with temptation. Part of the "God's Man Series" it will help you confront this pervasive problem in God's wisdom and strength, so you can begin to live an undivided life. Some men have learned the secret of being undivided between what they believe and how they actually think and live. They possess integrity. They've gained new perspectives on the trials and temptations they face, new tools to help them overcome automatic human responses to challenging situations, and new actions that produce humility and flexibility in God's strength. This study is designed to help your group become men of such integrity. (8 sessions)

Friendship: Transform Through Strong Relationships - DVD Leader Kit is an 8 session men's Bible study by Kenny Luck. God's Word is clear about the importance of godly friendships — and how God designs them to complete us spiritually. If you ever hope to win the battles you face in your spiritual journey, you must be connected to godly men. The problem is that many men today act as if they don't need friends — and they're paying the price. Risking relationships is not easy for men, but it's non-negotiable for God's man. When you stand with others who share your spiritual goals, you achieve them faster. That's God's way. Godly friendships create consistency, provide care and support, stimulate healthy confession, produce new connections, and make you complete in Christ. They produce positive changes in your character, convictions, conduct, and commitment to do life God's way.

RISK - DVD Leader Kit is for men who are ready to go to the next level in their faith—and ready to say goodbye to playing it safe when it comes to radically trusting their Savior. RISK challenges men to avoid eliminating risk from their lives, because when it comes to faith, all the energy spent eliminating risk actually becomes a barrier in their spiritual journey. Predictability. Control. Safety. Comfort. Jesus challenges God's man to throw all those words out the window.

Jesus said, "If you try to keep your life for yourself you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake ? you will find true life" (Mark 8:35). There really is no such thing as the "safe life" when a man is committed to Christ and seeks to become God's man. (8 sessions)

• A Get Strong study
• Video-driven Bible study
• 8 group sessions
