Helping Others for the Purpose of Eternity

   training courses

Biblical intensive discipleship—also known as soul care, biblical counseling, etc.—is Christ's vision for the Church. Therefore, we’ve created an in-depth educational program that provides faith-based equipping and training for life and ministry contexts.

Freedom from Guilt & Shame*

​

 A  6 Week Course

​

Plenty of books are floating around on guilt and shame, but there’s one really Good Book with a lot to say!

  • What exactly does Scripture tell us about our emotions?

  • How does God define guilt, and how can we be free of crushing shame?

  • What about forgiving others? Come and learn how to be an overcomer and how to help others as well.
