Living Free Series

Insight-Godly Character – With its emphasis on developing Christian character it is a powerful group for those who want to be sure to prevent life-controlling problems from developing in their lives, as well as for those who need to overcome a current problem. It enhances people's understanding of themselves and others. It helps people bond together in meaningful relationships. It helps prepare people for more meaningful relationships in subsequent small groups like home groups and Sunday school classes. It surfaces people for help who may otherwise never seek help. It helps break down the segregation of people in churches, turning "those people" and "our kind of people" into just "us". It helps prepare people to minister to others. It serves as a powerful evangelistic tool by ministering to people's felt needs and then pointing them to Christ.

​

Anger Management - This study explores from a biblical standpoint the emotion of anger and its potential for either evil or righteousness in our lives. Few of us have been taught to live with our feelings. We have been taught to think, but feelings often overwhelm and master the Christian. This study offers a clear explanation of anger, what causes it, and how to recognize
when you are sinning with anger. This not only ministers to church members but serves as a powerful evangelistic tool. Some of the content covered includes:

  • Beginning steps in managing anger.

  • Methods to help you control anger in your relationships.

  • Ten steps for preventing anger's control in your life.

This curriculum is suggested for support and grief recovery groups, substance abuse groups, marriage groups and retreats, men's groups, adolescent support groups and prison study groups.

​

Stepping Into Freedom - Stepping into Freedom is a Christ-centered twelve-step program suggested for use in support groups, recovery groups and home groups. It offers help for anyone struggling with a life-controlling problem like drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual addiction, gambling or workaholism. It supports a person's desire to maintain a life free of life-controlling problems. It helps a person develop roots and steadfastness in Christ so that one can confidently master the problems faced in daily living. It serves as an effective evangelism tool by providing a way to minister to people's felt needs and then pointing them to Christ.
