A Great Cloud of Witnesses

Notable Lives & Legacies from Church History

Scripture speaks of a “great cloud of witnesses”—men and women whose lives of faith encourage us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. Over the centuries, that cloud has grown to include influential voices like Augustine, Charles Spurgeon, and C.S. Lewis. In this course, we’ll explore the lives and legacies of these and other faithful disciples—who they were, what they did, and how their devotion to Christ can inspire and strengthen our own walk with the Lord. Come discover fresh courage and deeper devotion from those who have run the race before us!

Christianity: Fact or Fantasy?

Examining Reasons for the Hope of the Gospel

Every follower of Jesus is called to understand and articulate the hope that defines our faith. But can you? If you trust in Christ, what solid reasons support that trust? And if you’re still exploring Christianity, are there credible answers to your questions about the gospel’s reliability? In this course, we’ll thoughtfully examine the evidence for the truthfulness of Scripture, the identity of Jesus as the Son of God, and the historic reality of the resurrection. Come discover that the gospel is not a private preference or uplifting tale—it is truth. And truth invites, challenges, and transforms your entire life.

Led by Sam Mauldin

Holy Ambition

Exploring Kingdom Purposes in our Work & Wealth

Has God wired you with professional ambition— entrepreneurial drive, business savvy, or a knack for building and producing? And when your work leads to success or increased resources, how should you view that in light of your faith? Whether you’re just starting out or managing significant wealth, this course is for anyone gifted with the desire to build. We’ll explore what Scripture says about wealth—its risks, its blessings, and God’s purpose in entrusting us with this responsibility. Come discover how your ambition and resources can serve God’s Kingdom with clarity, wisdom, and purpose.
