The Daniel Dilemma Bible Study Guide: How to Stand Firm and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise - Paperback

by Chris Hodges (Author)

As Christians, we have real hope in Jesus that we have been called to share with others. But how we share that hope makes a difference. In a world that rejects everything we believe, we face a dilemma: how do we walk closely with God without caving in to pressure or alienating those we want to reach?

In this six-session video Bible study, Chris Hodges looks at the lives of both Daniel and Jesus, showing how we can stand for our biblical beliefs without being hostile or insulting to others. We can stand up for God's truth in a morally corrupt culture-while still loving others-because the goal is never about winning the argument but about winning hearts. As Jesus demonstrated, when we connect with others before we correct them, we can handle the hard questions without compromising God's grace or truth.

Chris offers fresh insights and practical ideas to encourage Christians struggling with their cultural reality to hold God's standards high and to keep his grace deep-just as Jesus did, and just as his followers today are called to do.

The Daniel Dilemma Study Guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions.

Sessions include:

1. In the World but Not of It
2. Identity Theft
3. You Are What You Worship
4. Who's the Boss?
5. Divided, Distracted, and Disturbed
6. What the World Needs Now

Designed for use with the Daniel Dilemma Video Study (sold separately).
