Untangle your emotions book jacketFREE EMOTIONS GROUP

Untangle Your Emotions

Learn to identify what you're feeling and why it matters.

Build the tools to process what you are carrying.

Identify how God can use emotions to help us see where we need healing!

What We Explore

In this journey through Jennie Allen’s Untangle Your Emotions, we dive deep into the God-given purpose of our feelings, moving beyond the habit of suppressing or being controlled by them. We explore a practical, biblical framework for noticing, naming, and connecting our emotions to the truth of Scripture. By examining the science of how our brains process feeling and the spiritual significance of why we have them, we learn to stop "fixing" our emotions and start using them as a doorway to deeper intimacy with God and others.

Who This Is For

This study is designed for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the complexity of their inner life or, conversely, feels disconnected and numb to their own heart. Whether you are struggling to process deep-seated hurt, navigating the daily stress of modern life, or simply wanting to understand how your faith and feelings coexist, this is for you. It is a space for those tired of the "just pray it away" narrative who are seeking a healthier, more holistic way to engage with their emotional health while staying grounded in their walk with Christ.

Book Jacket - Good Boundaries and GoodbyesBOUNDARIES GROUP

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes

 Is it possible to be a loving person and still say "no"? In Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, Lysa TerKeurst dives into the painful but necessary reality of setting limit in our most difficult relationships. Pulling from her own journey and deep theological insights, she helps you realize that boundaries aren’t just about keeping people out—they are about keeping you safe and healthy so you can love others without losing yourself in the process.

What We Explore:

  • The Scriptural Foundation: Discovering how boundaries are not just a self-help tool, but a God-given principle designed to protect the integrity of your heart.

    Access vs. Responsibility: Learning how to determine who gets front-row access to your life based on their willingness to take responsibility for your trust.

    The Emotional Toll: Identifying the "relational exhaustion" that comes from over-extending yourself and finding the courage to prioritize your own well-being.

    Navigating Goodbyes: Gaining the wisdom to recognize when a relationship has become unsustainable and how to walk away with peace instead of bitterness.

Who is this for? Anyone who struggles with people-pleasing, burnout, or resentment. If you feel like your life is out of your control, this group provides the roadmap to reclaim it.

GRIEFSHARE SUPPORT GROUP

Navigate the Journey of Grief Together.

Diverse support group including a military service member sitting in a circle, illustrating the shared healing found in GriefShare and trauma groups.

Grief is messy, unpredictable, and often isolating. Friends and family want to help, but they often don't understand the depth of your pain or why you "haven't moved on yet."

What is GriefShare? GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. It is a structured, weekly seminar and support group designed to help you rebuild your life after the loss of a loved one.

How it Works:

  • Video Seminar: Each week features expert interviews and real-life case studies on topics like "The Journey of Grief," "Guilt and Anger," and "What Do I Live For Now?"
  • Group Discussion: A safe space to discuss the weekly video and share your experience with others who truly understand.
  • Personal Study: A workbook for you to use at home to help you sort through your emotions and find comfort between sessions.

Who is this for? Anyone who has lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend. Whether your loss is recent or years old, you are welcome here.
