And.... we're back! After a brief hiatus in order to get out processes sorted out, we've begun to push out digital download content to LifeWay.com again. I'm happy to say that the first out of the gate this go around is the Threads study, Tough Sayings of Jesus by Michael Kelley.
For the downloadable resources, literally the entire study is available either as a complete bundle, as individual sessions, or as just the videos (in my humble opinion, the Captive
video from this series is one of the short video segments to come out of LifeWay). Each session contains a lot:
1) The Leader Guide PDF
2) The Member Book PDF
3) The Corresponding Conversation-Stater Video
4) Audio Teaching Help from Michael Kelley
5) Tough Saying Poster PDF & email banner JPG
6) Sample of Tough Sayings 2
The Threads team have reallyl gone all out to make this a complete digital offering. Also available today is the "More Than Stats" video from Get Uncomfortable and the previously unreleased "Hear" video.

Michael Kelley is an editor for the Threads team's (undated) Bible study products. Before he began to work for LifeWay full-time, he wrote a study for us called "Tough Sayings of Jesus," which spotlighted four times in the Bible where Jesus doesn't seem to be quite as nice as we might normally think (from the Tough Saying webpage: the rich young ruler in Mark 10, the Canaanite woman in Matt. 15, the unforgivable sin in Matt. 12, and a contradiction about who Jesus is in Matt. 10 and Luke 12).Threads is getting ready to launch volume two of the study, so I sat down with Kelley for a bit to talk about his job here at LifeWay, and some of the concepts behind these studies.[kyte.tv appKey=MarbachViewerEmbedded&uri=channels/30228/90177&embedId=10039540&locale=en]
