How to Listen to God | What Determines What I Hear?
Past experiences and present life circumstances have a big impact on how we perceive what we hear. And a personal intimacy with God and knowing His heart for you will make all the difference. In this class we’ll discuss how having a right view of God—governed by a correct understanding and attitude—positively shapes our ability to be confident in what we hear. Visit charlesstanle
How to Listen to God | Identifying the Voice of God
There are many voices in the world. Not all of them speak to your benefit. When God speaks He speaks to encourage and give life. Listening to the wrong voice can be disastrous. In this class we’ll learn how to avoid the pitfalls to correctly discern the voice of God. It all begins with having a right relationship with Him. Arm yourself with the Word of God and daily abide in Him. Visit charl
How to Listen to God | God's Goal in Communication
In going before God in prayer, we often emphasize our lack rather than His abundance. We shortchange the holy exercise by offering up our own agenda—a request list of wants with no regard for listening to what God wants. Ironically, we position ourselves with a goal to tell God what He already knows. In this class, we’ll explore the better—what God wants to accomplish in speaking
How to Listen to God | How God Gets Our Attention
A problem exists in that we don’t always walk in a manner pleasing to God. There are distractions galore that seek to lead us down an alluring path to destruction. But God, as our heavenly Father, has several tools to lovingly get our attention to get us back on the right path. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

How to Listen to God | How to Listen
Life as the Great Adventure begins when we say yes to God and follow as we hear Him speak. And because God is still speaking, we must keep actively listening. We have a Living Text that tells of many of the faith who did just that and powerful things ensued. In this class, we’ll discuss the importance of having a sure foundation of faith that when God speaks, as active listeners, we will hav
How to Listen to God | Is God Still Talking
The Lord wants to communicate with you. And yes, He is still speaking today. He speaks primarily through His Word, while also speaking through His Holy Spirit, other people, and through our circumstances. Are you listening to Him? In this class, we’ll learn how our life’s primary objective is to spend time with Him to hear all that He wants to say. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org tod
Called to be a Disciple | The Disciple's Rest
"Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” In these words to His disciples, Jesus instructs them to intentionally take time away from the labor of their work. And in our demanding world where there seems to be a never-ending work to be done, Jesus calls us all to participate in a time of refreshment. In this class, we’ll look to the life of Jesus and underst
Called to be a Disciple | The Rewards of the Disciple
Like the Apostle Paul, will you be able to say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith"? To begin to be able to answer this question in the affirmative, the disciple of Christ must first learn what it means to truly be a devoted disciple, evaluate what he is living for, and then move to detach himself from the world and proudly wear the badge of love. He&rsq
Called to be a Disciple | The Fellowship of the Disciple
We were created for fellowship with our Lord. In this fellowship we learn of God’s heart for us and find nourishment for our weary souls. And for the disciple of Christ, the precursor to service for God is spending time with Him. In fact, your effectiveness in the Kingdom of God is directly tied to your fellowship with Him. In this class, we’ll discuss this necessary element for effect
Called to be a Disciple | The Personal Ministry of the Disciple
We’ve all taken on a particular job or career to sustain us in our earthly matters. But no matter the particular secular vocation the disciple of Christ takes on, his prevailing service should encompass a personal ministry of discipleship. In this class, we’ll revisit the three aspects of a Disciple and take a close look into the personal ministry of Paul as it relates to His relations
Called to be a Disciple | The Disciple and Prayer
Simply defined, prayer is communicating with God. It isn’t a burdensome responsibility, but a vitally important opportunity of privilege to be able to commune with our Heavenly Father. Many from of old participated in it and many powerful and miraculous things happened. That same opportunity exists for us today. In this class, we’ll review the model for how Jesus taught us to pray and
Called to be a Disciple | The Disciple and the Word
God has placed everything we need for an abundant life in His Word. And the disciple of Christ should love His Word—meditating on it day and night. In this class, you’ll be stirred to maintain a behavior to study, be sustained by, submit to, and share God’s living Word with others. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today. The Charles Stanley Institute is a FREE online learning pl
Called to be a Disciple | The Disciple and the World
Being a follower of Jesus will come with certain expectations. Living in this fallen world, life for the disciple of Christ will be inevitably met with conflict. So much so that the world will hate you. Like Jesus, our words and our actions will set us at odds with the world’s culture. But despite this hatred, following Christ requires we stay on mission. In this class, we’ll discover
Called to be a Disciple | The Detachment of the Disciple
The one who desires to follow Christ must settle the issue of where their allegiance lies. There must be no indecisiveness. While this world presents many promises for pleasure, ease, and comfort, the disciple of Christ must be willing to separate themselves from anything that hinders their whole-hearted devotion and walk with God. In this class, we’ll explore passages from Luke chapter 9 th
Called to be a Disciple | The Badge of the Disciple
Can people tell that you serve Jesus? Do others see that you belong to Him? Christ said, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). In this class, we study how Jesus cares for us selflessly, sacrificially, understandingly, and forgivingly so we too can wear the badge He’s given to distinguish us as His own. Visit charless
Called to be a Disciple | The Devotion of Discipleship
Do you have passion and enthusiasm for Jesus? Are you intensely devoted to Him? Is He the strength of your heart and your portion forever (Ps. 73:26)? If not, what is stealing your focus from Him? What’s stopping you from dedicating yourself entirely to Him? In this class, we’ll look at Christ’s challenging statement, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me
Called to be a Disciple | The Meaning of Discipleship
What does it mean to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Certainly, it is a relationship that is different from anything else on earth. You’re called to be a change agent for the kingdom of God, His hands and feet in the world. But how do you go about doing that? In this class, we’ll discover the real meaning of what it means to be a disciple—to accept Jesus as Savior, yield
Called to be a Disciple | What Are You Living For?
We’re all living for something. Whether we exist for pleasure today or are busy preparing for tomorrow, we must all answer the question, “What am I living for?” In this class, we’ll examine why it is crucial to understand what’s driving us and how we can confidently pursue fruitful, worthwhile lives for Jesus that will bear fruit in eternity.
