Parenting Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99
For parents there exists a question that is always hovering in the background. Are we doing it right? Then just when we feel like we may be doing it right in one season, the season changes. They outgrow their shoes and their beds and we wonder at times if maybe they’re outgrowing us. Eventually hormones flip the script. The question that hovered in the background for the first eleven or twelve years is suddenly front and center. We no longer have the luxury of wondering if we’re doing it right. There are daily reminders that more than likely we’re not. Eventually our kids assure us we’re doing it wrong because their best friend’s parents are doing it right. And, of course, their best friends are assuring their parents they’re doing it wrong as well.
So, are you doing it right?
It’s a terrifying question. It’s terrifying because while we all come equipped with a rearview mirror, we don’t have a reverse. We can look back and see what we should have done differently, but we can’t back up and do it differently. Our mistakes are a permanent part of our parenting stories. Worse, our mistakes are a permanent part of our children’s childhoods!
In this six-session video study, Andy and Sandra Stanley will actually suggest an it… the it they’re convinced makes all the difference. Because if you don’t hit pause long enough to consider the direction in which you are parenting, you may wake up one day to the realization that you parented in the wrong direction. By wrong I mean, you parented in a direction you would not have chosen to parent had you stopped long enough to choose. The direction we choose, consciously or unconsciously, will in some way determine our children’s destinations–emotionally, relationally, spiritually, as well as academically and professionally. You owe it to them to choose it ahead of time.
Parenting is complicated. You want to get it right. To do what you have to do to determine your it. And that’s what this video study is about.

Anxious For Nothing
$19.99Add to cartAnxiety is at an all time high, but there’s a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, “Do not be anxious about anything . . .”
Philippians 4:6 encourages the believer to “be anxious for nothing.” As Lucado states, the apostle Paul seems to leave little leeway here. “Be anxious for nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero.”
What’s he suggesting? That we should literally be anxious for absolutely nothing? Lucado says, “The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. It’s the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wants to address. Don’t let anything in life leave you perpetually in angst.”
Americans especially know about living in perpetual anxiety. According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity. And use of sedative drugs like Xanax and Valium have skyrocketed in the last 15 years. Even students are feeling it. One psychologist reports that the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s.
“The news about our anxiety is enough to make us anxious,” says Lucado. But there’s a prescription for dealing with it. Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7, the most highlighted passage of any book on the planet, according to Amazon:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
“With His help you will learn to face the calamities of life. You’ll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will learn to view bad news through the lens of sovereignty; to discern the lies of Satan and tell yourself the truth. You will manifest a gentleness that is evident to others. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn’t have to dominate your life.”
