The Search For Significance

Two Roads

Trueface

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?

The Cure

Trueface

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.

The Wounded Heart

Dan B. Allender

For those who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and those who love and care for them, The Wounded Heart offers a tender, compassionate window into the psychological effects of abuse and the theological foundations for healing.

The Bondage Breaker

Neil T. Anderson

Harmful habits, negative thinking, and irrational feelings can all lead to sinful behavior and keep you in bondage. If you feel trapped by any of these strongholds in your life, know that you are not alone—you can break free.
