Walking in Freedom - The purpose of the Walking in Freedom group is to help participants experience freedom from life-controlling struggles and the hindrances that can hold us back from spiritual growth. Through biblical teaching, honest reflection, and meaningful connection with others, we will learn how to move forward into a healthier, more peaceful, and God-centered way of living. Our lives are shaped by the choices we make and by the relationships we have with the people around us. At times, the way we think, respond, and relate to others can become a barrier to our spiritual growth and keep us from experiencing the freedom God desires for us. In this course we will walk through the book of James, discovering practical, biblical guidance for navigating everyday struggles, relationships, choices, and spiritual growth. Each session is designed to help us take another step forward—not simply learning about freedom, but learning how to walk in it.

Understanding Depression - This study deals with depression, a condition common throughout the world,

• Understanding what depression is and how it affects relationships
• Understanding the relationship between depression and spiritual warfare
• Ways to fight depression with scripture, prayer and mutual support
• Understanding the special prayer needs of depressed persons
• Bible-based coping skills
• How to pray for healing and what to expect

Where is the Image of God in You? - The purpose of this study is to help us recognize how the different character traits God has given us can be used in constructive rather than destructive ways in our lives and relationships. As we grow in self-awareness and allow God to shape our character, we can learn to operate more fully in His image and live according to the way He created us. This study will also help us better understand the people around us. By gaining insight into our own character and the character of others, we can learn to communicate more effectively, extend grace, and build healthier, stronger, and more Godly relationships. Our goal is to grow in who God created us to be, strengthen our relationships, and become more intentional about reflecting Christ in the way we live and love.

Anger Dynamics - Anger is a normal emotion, but when it is misunderstood or left unchecked, it can impact our thoughts, choices, relationships, and spiritual lives. Anger Dynamics is designed to help us understand where anger comes from, recognize how it affects the way we respond to others, and learn healthy, God-honoring ways to manage and express it. Through this study, we will explore the patterns and triggers behind anger while gaining practical tools to respond with greater self-control, wisdom, grace, and freedom. We’ll learn how to move beyond destructive reactions and develop healthier ways of communicating, resolving conflict, and strengthening our relationships. Our goal is not simply to control anger, but to understand it, grow through it, and allow God to transform the way we respond—leading to greater freedom, healthier relationships, and a more peaceful way of living.
