Community--Experience Jesus Alive in His People

by Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell

Overview

An entire generation of young Christians—along with millions of older believers—is confused about what they believe, why they believe it, and how it’s relevant.

The Unshakable Truth Journey® Growth Guides are a series of 12 courses designed especially for churches, church classes, and small groups. They get to the heart of what being a true follower of Christ means and what knowing Christ is all about. Each five-session guide is based on one of 12 core truths of the Christian faith presented in Josh and Sean McDowell’s book The Unshakable Truth®.

Orthodox, hard-hitting, and relevant, these guides are uniquely positioned for today’s culture because they highlight how Christianity’s beliefs affect relationships; promote a relational, group context in which Christians can experience the teaching in depth; and show believers how they can live out Christianity’s central truths before their community and world.

More than just a program, The Unshakable Truth Journey® Growth Guides are a tool for long-term change and transformation!

Community—Experience Jesus Alive in His People explores the truth about Christ’s body—the church—and Christians’ mission in life. It lays the foundation for how to experience true community.
