I Believe: Bridging Belief with Behavior is an exciting, in-depth study of biblical doctrine that deepens the understanding and faith of all believers. Dr. John Powers, author of Bodylife Journey, has taken the next step with I Believe, a timely study targeting personal discipleship. The design of the resource and content is short-term, intense, and interactive.

John is persuaded that we have doctrinal drift going on in our churches. He said this: "If we neglect the doctrines of our faith, the price we pay is error, dissention, infantile believers, false teaching, ill-equipped leaders, weak witnesses, and spiritual instability--just to name a few. Seems to be a high price for being the flavor of the month." He's right as far as we can see. Teaching doctrine is essential to developing mature believers and a kingdom-centered church.

The effect of I Believe on witnessing has been unexpected. In the pilot churches, participants were asked how they incorporated their study into their daily lives. Of those completing the post-test, 80% shifted in a significant way their witnessing behaviors. Ron Lynch, Director of Church Services for Madison Association in Alabama, said, "It's not rocket science, if they know what they believe, they'll talk about it!" I Believe effectively equips witnesses.

Anyone can identify a problem. John decided to do something about it. He's dedicating five years to producing these resources with each volume in this multi-volume series covering a four-week study. The I Believe E-Resources include: I Believe: Journal, I Believe: Group Study Guide, I Believe: Group Leader's Guide---which offers administrative and teaching suggestions and includes a PowerPoint® Presentation and Overhead Transparency Masters for visual support.
