What is holding you Back

Do you feel like life is full of rules, boundaries and limitations? Many think that Christianity only adds to the restrictions on how we live. But life in Christ is not supposed to hold you back. The gospel propels us forward in ways you never imagined.

In these four youth Bible study sessions, J.D. Greear uses Scripture to show that being a Christian is not about learning to obey rules. Being a follower of Christ means immersing ourselves deeply in the gospel, because that’s when all the things God wants to see in us are produced.

With biblical teaching and real-life stories, this series will help students live a life that demonstrates God’s compassion—as seen on the cross—and His power—as seen in the resurrection.


Four sessions:
Session 1 – Fuel for the Flame
Session 2 – Reckless Abandon
Session 3 – Radical Generosity
Session 4 – Audacious Faith
