Cohorts

Modeled after Jesus’ time with the 12 men, Cohorts are small communities of learning and discipleship. At Kitsap House, we want to empower individuals to lead and participate in these communities. Anyone who requests can have access to any of the resources below, as well as software to help recruit and communicate with a group.

CASKET EMPTY

The Casket Empty Bible series is designed to help you study and learn the Bible. That’s our mission. The word CASKET EMPTY® is an acronym for the entire Bible, with each letter representing a key period in the redemptive story. In short, it is a memory device designed to help you understand the Bible - and remember it.

The title points to the life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah as the center of the biblical story. Once you have used Casket Empty, it will become your “must have” Bible resource. We often hear that people keep the timelines in the back of their Bible or posted on a wall as a quick reference tool.

N.T. Wright for Everyone

Sacred Marriage

What if God’s primary intent for your marriage isn’t to make you happy . . . but holy? And, what if your relationship isn’t as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God? In this popular bestselling book, Gary Thomas uncovers how your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and each other.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do--avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.

Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.
