THE HEART & SOUL OF FREEDOM
Sundays | 6:15PM
September 8 – October 20
The Bible speaks of freedom, abundant life, restoration, truth and love resulting from faith in God. Yet, even with faithful prayer and Bible study, sometimes we struggle to experience that practically in life circumstances or our relationships with God, self, or others. Sometimes we wonder what is keeping us from feeling free spiritually, emotionally, or relationally. Our head, heart, and faith sometimes don’t match up (Romans 7:15-20). We believe in God’s love and redemption but struggle with unhealthy coping, being self-critical, repetitive patterns, or just feeling stuck. This group will explore freedom challenges from a whole-person perspective. It will bring your heart, head, and faith closer together. You will also be equipped with biblically based, practical resources for moving forward in freedom.
