If your study group would like to use video-based study guides, I recommend the Living the Questions guides. These guides come in 20-minute video segments which include conversations with prominent voices of faith, sermon and lecture clips, digital stories illustrating aspects of an evolving faith, and concrete spiritual practices and disciplines. The flexible DVD and resource materials can be used in variety of class, retreat, and other formats.

The “intro” course is Living the Questions 2.0. This series is an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers and instead strives to create an environment where participants can interact with one another in exploring what’s next for Christianity. Comprised of 21 sessions, Living the Questions 2.0 may be offered in sequence or as three independent groupings of seven sessions each.

They also have a series called Eclipsing Empire: Paul, Rome, and the Kingdom of God. This 12-session DVD and web-based study explores fresh insights into Paul’s message of the Kingdom of God, its challenge to Roman imperial theology, and the apostle’s radical relevance for today.
