Synopsis
In this five session video Bible study, New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist invites you on a journey that changed her life. She will walk a path with you, a path away from frantic pushing and proving, and toward your essential self, the one you were created to be before you began proving and earning of your worth.
Shauna will help you begin leaving behind busyness and frantic living and rediscovering the person you were made to be. Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. She offers an honest account of what led her to begin this journey, and a compelling vision for an entirely new way to live: soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most to us.
The study guide includes first thoughts, video notes, group discussion questions, practicing presence reflections, and solo work for you to complete between sessions.
The five sessions are:
- Pain Points
- The Roles We Play
- Yes, And No
- Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good
- Living the Love
This Study Guide is designed to be used with the PRESENT OVER PERFECT DVD (9780310816034)
Synopsis
For too many years I missed out on the life God had given me to live--to steward--because I was too busy trying to build a life that looked more...perfect. Shauna Niequist invites you to leave behind perfection-seeking and embrace presence as a way of life--free from illusions and soaked in grace.
In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist will take you on the same journey that changed her own life--away from frantic striving and toward a soulful thriving.
