October 8: Step I - Guilt Free Living
Our conscience was designed to lead us toward good choices and help us treat others well. When our conscience fires off the wrong messages, we can be harsh or over reactive. What we end up with is guilt. Guilt will put you in jail, far from relational freedom. Join us and discover the healthy alternative to guilt.

October 15: Step II - Sorry is Not Enough

"I am sorry." We've all said this and we've heard these words from others. It's the right thing to say when someone has been hurt or offended. Have you thought of where "I am sorry" comes from? What motivates it, and is it for the right reason? Join us to understand the deeper message of "I am sorry", it's essential if you are going to experience true relational freedom.

October 22: Step III - Name It and Claim It

Are you familiar with "name it and claim it" theology? It goes like this, just name what you want, claim it as yours and it will appear. While this doesn't work with most things, it does work with having a better relationship. Learn how to name what's going on in your relationships and how to do the work to claim the connection you desire.

October 29: Step IV - Please Release Me!

You don't have to be in jail to have a real feeling of being trapped. We struggle to get free, but can't seem to pull it off. We may not even know where this feeling comes from yet it spills over into our relationships, keeping us from being open and free. This bad feeling comes from within and often it's about us judging ourselves too harshly. Join us to find the answers that will "release you" from that bad feeling that has been interfering with your relationships.

While often justified, these feelings may be keeping you from experiencing love and connection.
