Week 1 – The Truth About Feelings
When kept in proper context, feelings draw you closer to God, others, and your destiny. However, we can get trapped when we allow our emotions to control us. Join us this week as we learn how to manage unwanted emotions.
Week 2 – Changing How You Feel
No lasting transformation takes place in our lives until our thoughts begin to change and align with God’s Word. Learn how you can change the way you feel by changing how you think.
Week 3 – When I Feel Busy
The Gospels record that Jesus felt comfortable in the home of Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus. The four weren’t just acquaintances; they were close friends. Join us as we learn from Mary and Martha what happens when we allow busyness and comparison to steal our joy.
Week 4 – When I Feel Conflicted
One of the most important skills we must learn, especially as a Christian, is how to resolve conflict. Because we live in a broken world, there is conflict everywhere. Learn how to deal with conflict Biblically and watch your relationships grow and thrive.
Week 5 – When I Feel Afraid
Not all fear is bad. God has created man with the ability to regard certain dangers with protective fear. This is for man’s preservation and safety. But when fear is unhinged from God’s Word and left unmanaged it can grow and have devasting effects in our lives. Learn how to overcome the fear that threatens your life as a Christian.
Week 6 – When I Feel Angry

We all can get stressed out at times. But the truth is - You and I may be living in one of the most stressful times in history. The effects of stress on our personal lives are even more profound than we often imagine. Stress penetrates to the core of our being. Learn how to manage stress through spiritual discipline.
Week 8 – When I Feel Depressed
