Our lives consist of moments. Stitched together like the seams on a coat, these moments cloak us in awareness and possibility. But what if we miss our moments? What if we live in a bland state of wandering? Seeking growth, seeking passion―but missing the moments in which God tries to pull the thread through the cloth in the way we’ve dreamed of?
Watershed moments are the turning points in our lives brought on by circumstances which stop us in our tracks. A new direction; a fresh perspective; an answered prayer; a humble surrender―these are the moments that redirect us; leaving us profoundly changed.
Through a progression of seven types of Watershed moments (the Watersheds of change, unraveling, rebuilding, purpose, abandoning [control], overcoming, and belief), Gari portrays life as a series of moments we encounter where we can face or turn away from change. A life marked by Watershed moments starts from the place where we live desperately hoping for some kind of new and freeing adventure.
Through the lives of Abraham, David, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel, Nehemiah, Peter and many more, as well as through personal Watershed moments in her life and the lives of several women who have written their own stories, Watershed Moments is a bold invitation to pay attention to the revelation God gives in the twinkling of a second at our moments of change. God uses watershed moments to position us to go one direction or another. It’s at these Watersheds we utter, “I can’t go back. This moment will change me forever.”

In this six-session small group Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Spirit Hunger, Gari Meacham peels back the layers of lesser loves we use to fill our true ‘hunger’ for a relationship with God.
It’s often tempting to stay safe with God. Do your prayers reflect the desire you have to communicate with God? Do you listen for God, or talk right over him? What would happen if you truly abandoned yourself to experience an adventure with God? Gari invites you to get gutsy with God. In Spirit Hunger, she journeys with you to the raw places of desiring God and discovering a faith-filled way of praying and believing the God we adore.
Spirit Hunger unwraps our heart’s desire to engage God, even when we cover that desire with lesser loves.
Meacham writes, “With the authenticity of my own life stories—marriage to a professional baseball player, struggles with severe food bondage, and a father who was a quadriplegic—I came to the crisp realization that my prayer life and the belief needed to match. Spirit Hunger provides a clear path towards matching these heart cries—leading away from crumbs and counterfeit, to a hungering for God.”

<ul>
<li>Longing and Numbing: Are these sighs of a hungry spirit?</li>
<li>Believing: Is our prayer life really a worry life?</li>

Spirit Hunger Workbook with DVD: Filling Our Deep Longing to Connect with God

Overeating. Secretive binging. Purging. Starving yourself. Perpetual Dieting. Many of us struggle with poor eating habits. For some of us, those struggles escalate into an everyday battle, and we find ourselves trapped into a pattern of destructive behavior. As a result, we live with an unsatisfied pain that lingers long after the food disappears. We silently bury the heartache with the shame, and the severity of the damage to body, mind, and spirit often goes untold.

Bold Vision Books

Beyond Free, a First Place for Health Bible study,In BEYOND FREE, we’ll study the power of obedience and what holds us in the chains of defeat. Galatians 5:1 offers a past-tense promise with a present tense punch. Jesus set us free, so we could live in freedom…now. It says we must stand our ground, and not be burdened again by any form of slavery.In this study, we’ll study and pray, binding ourselves to two staunch beliefs. First, freedom is real because Jesus offered it. He wouldn’t have teased us with it if it weren’t true. Second, freedom is neither perfection nor permission.

Be Free

Be Free, a new Bible study created for First Place 4 Health, will teach you that freedom is neither perfection nor permission. The trouble isn’t in the systems; it’s our pursuit of perfection within them. Perhaps you’ve followed a plan and lost weight, but the minute you’re not perfect with food you return to old habits and start gaining weight. Perfection bears down on our will and offers us only two choices: eat perfectly, or live like a failure with little self-control. Freedom offers so much more than the chains of perfection. Join us as we lock arms and travel this freedom terrain together. When we’re through, we’ll boldly be able to state, “I know the truth, and the truth can set me free.” This is a study is a revised version of a previous release.This First Place 4 Health Bible study contains 12 weeks of daily study to help you put Christ in first place, as well as weekly Live It Trackers to document your progress. Also included is an inspirational CD by Vicki about finding moving from fear to freedom in our relationship with food. Two complete weeks of menu plans with recipes and detailed nutrition information are included.

It’s documented that up to ten million women and girls suffer from anorexia, bulimia, over-eating, secretive binging, purging, and starving. Gari Meacham tackles disordered eating with solid biblical wisdom and understanding because she was also caught up in the slavery of food plans, diets, and emotional pain. As she tells her story, she offers help and freedom to anyone who feels trapped by the battle with food.Join Gari as she explores the lies we tell ourselves about food and food-related behaviors, including mindless eating, over-eating, and secret eating, binging, purging, and starving. Gari experienced years of twisted emotion towards food and hunger, but has been free from compulsive behavior for 25 years.Like Jesus asked a lame man, Gari asks you, “Do you want to get well?” If so, this book will guide you through the path to freedom.A must read for anyone who ever struggled with weight and food problems. You too can be free!
