Do you want to lead an incredible, transformational, talk-about-it-the-rest-of-your-life kind of group? We often join small groups hoping to find authentic relationships that lead to spiritual growth. Unfortunately, many of our groups end up feeling superficial, forced, and, well . . . boring. It doesn't have to be this way. In fact, it shouldn't be this way! A practical guide to starting or re-igniting your small group, The Cure for Groups unpacks five Core Components that help you lead the kind of life-changing group Jesus made possible.

About the Author\nToday’s culture is perfecting the art and science of creating masks. Behind these masks, people are dying inside. We’re here to change that. Trueface equips people to experience the freedom of living beyond the mask. When we increase trust in our relationships, we are able to experience being more authentically known and loved by God and others. We hope to be a bridge for hundreds of thousands to experience the peace and freedom of the original good news by trusting God and others with their whole selves.\nHave you ever kept doing something you don’t want to do? We all have these patterns in our lives that we just can’t seem to shake. No matter how disciplined we are, how much willpower we drum up, or how many times we seek accountability, eventually we find ourselves sucked back into repeating the same patterns again. It’s crazy-making! Everyone’s struggle is different. For you, it might look like criticizing, substance abuse, overworking, sexual sin, people pleasing, or hundreds of others. Jesus has given all of us a way out of these crazy-making cycles, and it has nothing to do with white-knuckling our way to freedom. Join us in this four-week study as we explore where these patterns come from, why we keep repeating them, and how to stop the crazy and live in the freedom Jesus makes possible.

Crazy-Making: Why We Keep Doing What We Don't Want to Do

We all experience broken relationships in our lives. From short-lived fights with a friend to a decade-long silence between family members, these fractures cause deep pain in our lives. Whether we've been hurt or hurt someone else, Jesus has provided a powerful pathway to healing through forgiveness and repentance. While many of us have been told to forgive or repent through gritted teeth and willpower, few of us have been shown how to offer forgiveness or repentance that overflows from our new hearts. Jesus has created us for deep, abiding relationships that not only withstand conflict, but grow stronger through it. This four-part study guides you through video stories, discussion questions, readings, and reflection on scripture. Join us as we pursue reconciliation, restoration, and healing in our relationships.

Do you want to be a part of an incredible, transformational, talk-about-it-the-rest-of-your-life kind of group? Unfortunately, many of us have experienced groups that felt forced, awkward, and, well -- a little boring. It doesn't have to be that way. Our groups should be bursting with life, depth, and the kind of authentic community Jesus modelled for us. Through videos, discussion questions, and group applications, Embark will guide your group in creating this kind of community -- one where you feel truly known and loved, and can't wait to go to group.

Embark: A Six-Part Study to Launch Your Group

Exploring the first three chapters of Trueface's flagship book, The Cure, through videos, discussion questions and scripture, Two Roads is designed to help your group travel beyond the mask and begin experiencing real, authentic relationships rooted in grace. When many of us first met Jesus, we imagined a life full of authentic relationships, vibrant faith, and deep joy. But down the road, we find ourselves exhausted from trying to keep up, frustrated by our habitual issues, or just plain burnt out. We feel like we're faking it more often than not, and bizarrely our faith communities often end up feeling like the place we need to hide our true faces the most. We thought this road would lead to abundant life, but lately it feels like a grinding drudge. What if there was a different road? A road that led to real, authentic community--the kind where the worst parts of you can be known, and you'll be loved more in the telling of it? What if we could let our true faces be seen in our families, friendships, churches, and workplaces, and we could see others' true faces too? What if that life of being authentically known and loved is real, and Jesus is inviting you into it?

Two Roads: The Cure Group Study: A 4-Part Study of The Cure

The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century’s religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the Original Good News and sending millions away, wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. This newly designed format of The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain. The Cure infuses a relational theology of grace and identity, which alone can heal, free and create sustainable, genuine, loving, life-giving communities.

Whether we are reacting to our parents, planning to be parents, overwhelmed at being parents, or learning to stand with our kids as they now parent, we need to know there is a way home. A way to be convinced God is in the middle of every stage of our family. These words have been said more than once: “Tell me again, what made us think that we could be parents.” No one could tell us how tired and overmatched we would feel. Or how exasperated we’d get when our kids didn’t receive our best attempts at guiding, loving and teaching. So, this book is filled with hope, joy, insight, wisdom and maybe a fresh way of seeing. We get to ride with a family as they struggle through the same mistakes we can make. Then we watch them imperfectly, but wonderfully learn to find each other. It always begins with us, the parents. And it always involves us earning our children’s trust. All, so we can leave a profound mark in this world by our transformative influence on our kids. Enjoy the ride.

Become the leader people are proud to follow by opening yourself to the influences that develop character: Anduring relationships with friAnds, family, and God.Solidly based on Christian values, this practical, visionary, and hope-filled book guides readers through a step-by-step process for developing both personal character and the network of important relationships that enable character to win out, even in the face of setbacks, adversity, and temptations to take short cuts. Leadership is about character, the authors assert, and character weaves values like integrity, honesty, and selfless service into the fabric of our lives, organizations, and cultures. The Ascent of a Leader is written for ordinary people-mothers, husbands, bosses, secretaries, pastors, teachers, and students-who want to develop extraordinary character, find and follow God's plan for their lives, and lead others where they need to go. We all have innate leadership potential. To maximize it, we must do much more than develop performance-based skills, the authors assert. We must consciously choose who and what we allow to influence us, find and develop our humility, and build Anduring relationships with colleagues, family, friAnds, and God. They offer engaging real-life examples to show how we can grow into our true potential as leaders and inspire us to "make a difference in the 21st century-in our families, our communities, our companies, our government, and even our world."

The Ascent of a Leader

McElrath, Ken

Jesus’s invitation is clear throughout the Bible: Trust Me, and trust those I’ve put in your life. Trust is vital in our families, communities, businesses, churches, and daily life, yet many of us struggle with trusting other people and even God Himself. Trust is what frees us to experience God's grace and enjoy the life He has for us. This 365 day devotional from the Trueface team invites you to experience trust each day, from the mundane to the exceptional, from the deeply sad to hilarious. Touching on business, family, donuts, friendship and Adirondack chairs, Trust for Today invites you to grow in trust one day at a time.

Trust for Today

How do you love people when you disagree with them? 
We live in divided times. The tension of disagreement can be felt at dinner tables, in board rooms, at church gatherings, and in our communities. It can be hard to know how to engage with each other when the gap between us feels like it’s widening. 
Jesus lived in divided times, too. He modeled for us what it looks like to love across political, gender, religious, and cultural lines. Jesus’s life was marked by loving people who were wildly different from him, and he calls us to do the same. 
Join Robby Angle, Tyler Burns, Juni Felix, Jennifer Jukanovich, and Tommy Nixon in this four-part group study as they tackle topics such as curiosity, humility, and justice. Each week you will watch a roundtable video and then use this guide for your group discussion, application, and reflection reading as you explore what it means to love like Jesus when you disagree.
