Feed the Dog - Video Streaming - Teen Group

Feed the Dog: 7 Spiritual Disciplines to Help You Grow in Your Faith - Video Streaming - Teen Group includes streaming access to 8 teaching sessions by Brock Gill for group viewing. This product includes 3 transferable licenses with perpetual video access for group leaders.*

A man had two dogs. The one he fed grew the biggest.

There's an old parable about a man who had two dogs that were constantly at war with each other. One of the dogs was good, representing virtues like loyalty and kindness. The other dog was bad, representing vices such as hatred and lust. Which dog won in the end? That's easy: the one he fed.

In the same way, we have two fundamental natures battling for our attention on a daily basis—a sinful flesh and a righteous spirit. Through Christ, we have the ability to choose which nature we will "feed," leading us either further away from or closer to His likeness.

Feed the Dog is a video-driven Bible study for middle and high school students. Through the artistry of illusion and his unique gift of evangelism, Brock Gill guides students to realize the importance of nourishing the spirit through the daily practice of spiritual disciplines. Over the course of eight sessions, students will learn that spiritual disciplines are something we develop over time. With practice and perseverance, students will be able to discern the truth and focus on what's important. They will “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps. 34:8), growing in their relationship with Christ and pointing others to Him.

Video Sessions

• Session 1: Spirit and Flesh (8:15) Author Brock Gill teaches that every believer has two natures—the spirit and the flesh. Feed the spirit and starve the flesh.
• Session 2: Worship (9:27) Brock shares that worship is the response we give God based on our love for Him because of who He is and what He has already done.
• Session 3: Scripture (12:16) In this session, Brock teaches that if you want to hear God’s voice and know His will, you need to study His Word.
• Session 4: Prayer (8:28) Brock teaches that prayer is not a magic charm, a performance, or a secret formula. Prayer is when a child of God talks to his or her heavenly Father.
• Session 5: Solitude (7:56) In this session, Brock teaches us that solitude is purposefully spending time alone in silence. It’s not being lonely; it’s being alone with the intention of meeting with God.
• Session 6: Fasting (7:36) The purpose of fasting is to grow in our dependence on God. Brock shares that we are all in desperate need of God—fasting can help us realize this and live in light of this truth.
• Session 7: Ministry (9:34) You don’t need special skills or experience to be used by God. All followers of Jesus are called to ministry—to use the gifts God has given them to serve the church and build Christ’s kingdom.
• Session 8: Community (9:23) In this closing session, Brock teaches that we were created for community. Following Christ means committing to His body, the church.
