Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
Explore “spiritual growth” and help your soul slow down with practices that create stillness and space to develop your connection with God. Integrating emotional health and spiritual practices helps us stop avoiding conflict and ignoring our anger, sadness and fear. Instead, we learn to embrace God, live a boundaried life, and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Forgiveness
Are you struggling with feelings of guilt and shame, unable to forgive yourself? Or haunted by anger and bitterness, unable to forgive others? The message of the Gospel is that Christ died to set us free: to be ourselves, to make mistakes, to learn and to grow. Let’s take a fresh look at Bible truth and how the actions of conviction, repentance, and confession hold the keys to freedom, grace, and forgiveness. Say goodbye to the bondage of emotions and embrace the truths that will set you free.

Safe People
If your food is spoiled, the bacteria will harm you and make you sick. Unsafe people can be similar: having “bugs” that make us unwell relationally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We may not always recognize character issues early in relationships – our “people picker” can be broken! But God made us for connection, and we need to know the healthy character traits to look for as we pursue mature, healthy relationships. In this class Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend guide us in understanding what makes people unsafe and the Biblical qualities that allow us to create safety with each other.
