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 to us. His desire addresses our unrealized need to know the truth. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

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 have the proper response. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

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 today.

"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 understand His call for rest. You’ll see rest differently and amid the busyness—even in our spiritual work—be challenged to incorporate healthy spiritual rhythms of rest into your life. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

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’ll next need to engulf himself in God’s Word—communing with his Lord always, and walk in true fellowship as God intended. Therein lies a well-run race. And for the faithful, obedient disciple of Jesus, he can fully expect to be rewarded here on earth and in the life to come. Visit charlesstanleyinstitute.org today.

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 effective preparation for ministry and the wonderful effects that come as a result of being "with Him."

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 relationship with his protégé Timothy.
