Would YOU come to this study? (Or send your daughter, wife, friend?)

(As previously mentioned) … my January 31 deadline is LOOMING and I have to finalize the twelve 30-minute sessions for my DVD project (that will be recorded/produced in March).

In order to IMPROVE MY FEEBLE EFFORTS, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on my first draft attempt at organizing the ‘flow’ / order of the 12 sessions. Specifically:

1. What do you think of the CONTENT? (I tried to include the topics that I thought were indispensable for such a resource for women—but what do you think?)
2. What do you think of the TITLES/DESCRIPTIONS? (Would you want to attend? Would you want your wife/daughter/friend to attend?)

Please respond ASAP (if not immediately! 🙂 ) …

I’m very much looking forward to your counsel & help!

Thanks much,
Tara B.

Becoming Who We Already Are—How the Gospel Transforms Our Lives and Brings Us Peace

1. Identity & Testimony: Who am I really? Deep down—what is my functional identity? Who does God say that I am?

2. Practical Theology: Who is God? How do my thoughts, emotions, and actions reveal what I really think about Him? What does the Bible say?

3. The Heart & the Doctrine of Sin: I’m a Christian! But so often, I don’t think, feel, or act like one. What’s wrong with me? Why am I the way that I am?

4. Idolatry: I can’t change until I honestly face my wrong thinking and false worship. What do I love more than God?

5. The Fear of Man: Often, I am in bondage to what people think about me. Why do I live for their approval?

6. Growth in Grace through Sanctification: I’m a mess! So how is it really possible to actually change so that my life stops contradicting the very faith I profess?

7. The Role of Relationships: Do I have to be around these people and have relationships with them? If so, why?

8. *Biblical Conflict Resolution: Where two or more are gathered in Jesus’ name, there will eventually be conflict. So how am I called to respond?

9. *Glorifying God & Getting the Log Out of My Own Eye: How can I respond to offenses and hurts in a way that glorifies God? What does it look like for me to own up to my contribution to the conflict?

10. *Biblical Confrontation & Forgiveness: Did Jesus really mean that I have to go to her and talk about what happened? How could I ever confront or forgive him? Why should I?

11. Redemptive Relationships: I’m not in a conflict with her—I just don’t like her very much! What does it mean for me to accept and even love people that I don’t instinctively enjoy?

12. An Eternal Perspective: So I can really have peace in my life? Regardless of my circumstance? How do I fit into God’s eternal story of redemption?
