Gods at War Small Group Kit

In a new twist to the cinematic style City on a Hill has become known for, this 6 episode series was filmed in a docudrama style – Narrated by Kyle and featuring the late Chuck Colson (Prison Fellowship), Chuck Bentley (Crown Financial Ministries) and others telling their true stories. In these compelling stories, we will see some reflection of ourselves, and recognize the true battle that lies at the heart of all our sin struggles. These stories also point the way to victory, as we see the kind of life-transforming power that Christ is ready to pour out in our lives as well.
Christians and the church rightfully place an emphasis on identifying and eradicating sin…but what if we’re actually missing the point? What if all sin has a common root, a core issue that we typically fail to address? In his latest work, Kyle Idleman challenges us with the thought that perhaps all sin springs from the same source – IDOLATRY. While we may not see many “graven images” in our world today, Kyle argues that there are still countless gods passionately at war for the throne of our hearts. If we put the wrong god on the throne, our lives will be thrown into chaos, and all our efforts at sin management will be futile. Only by recognizing our misplaced worship and by enthroning Jesus can we experience freedom and life.

What Should I Buy?
FOR PERSONAL STUDY
The Series features episodic, story-driven videos integrated with biblical teaching. Series are ideal for entertainment, edification, and conversation.
This daily guide helps you apply lessons learned in the Series through personal devotions, thoughtful questions and bible verses for reflection. Use the Journal for personal study in conjunction with the Series.
FOR GROUP STUDY
This kit contains everything you need to host a group (minus the snacks). Includes: one Series, one Leader’s Guide, one Journal, and various bonus items that vary per title.
Extra Leader’s Guides
Some groups prefer for each participant to have their own leader’s guide. The Leader's Guide is designed to facilitate meaningful discussion by providing carefully crafted questions and guidance to compliment the Series. It is easy to follow and includes helpful tips on how to lead a small group.
Extra Journals
If you want the best experience for your small group, we recommend that each person in the group also uses the journal. One is included for you in the kit, but additional copies can be purchased a la cart.
CHURCH CAMPAIGN/SERMON SERIES
The Pastor’s Kit includes everything needed to plan a sermon series: a special video message for pastors, video guide for implementing a church-wide program, sermon transcripts with notes, video clips to accompany sermons, sermon bumpers (short video clip to introduce each week’s sermon), and digital art files to use in creation of bulletins and other promo materials.
Order in Bulk
Order Leader’s Guides, Journals, and Series in bulk to get the best rates. Each Small Group will need one Leader’s Guide, one Series, and a Journal for each participant.
MOVIE NIGHT
Movies are available for select titles. These feature films are perfect for at-home entertainment or church and outreach events. Movie License Event Kits are required for group showings and come with additional materials for promotion.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Many of our studies are also books. While the book and study complement each other and cover the same themes, they are not designed to be used simultaneously. The Journal and Leader’s Guide products are designed for the purpose of a guided study.
For select titles you will find t-shirts, wristbands, artwork or other accessories may be available. We prefer to only create items that we feel will enhance the experience of that study (for example, the not a fan t-shirt has led to many conversations about Jesus and even stories of conversion).

This is a fantastic study on the things that can run our lives instead of the Lord leading. We are using it to follow up Not A Fan. It’s the same great style with Kyle’s relevant messages. Don’t pass this one up.

I had the privilege of editing the leader’s guide and “combat journal” for gods at war. I worked with the curriculum writer and developer, Ross Brodfuehrer, who did an incredible job developing this resource. It includes not only great discussion-boosting questions for the group study, but also thoughtful daily exercises to help participants really engage with this life-changing material.
Then, after the initial six-session study, group members can go deeper and continue to work through this life-transformation process through six phases that will help them team up and then target the false gods that have been holding them captive.
I believe God will use this study to change lives, if group members fully engage with the material, which is easy to do with these dramatic videos and well-written discussion guides. If your group used and grew through “Not a Fan,” you’ll love this study as well. I’m highly recommending it!

Thank you so much for doing this study. I really had to look at my own life and admit that at times many things are fighting for the throne of my heart. I teach recovery from alcohol and drugs in treatment centers and have been able to use the things I learned from this study and apply it to my teaching. Again, thank you.
