Synopsis
In this 5-week Bible study, Elita Friesen leads you through the book of Jonah to learn about the God who pursues us even when we run; the God who beautifully restores even our ugliest messes; the God who is willing to use us in spite of ourselves. Because God doesn't just redeem our past, he redeems our whole future.
Synopsis
Women can be so hard on themselves. We have the ability to fixate on our mistakes, shaming ourselves with the things we could have done or said differently. Regardless of how we label it - as mom guilt, wife guilt, work guilt, or "I-ate-the-entire-bag-of-chips" guilt - it's real and it.is.exhausting Still there are others of us who live with the reality of a broken past. We struggle to believe that God can make something beautiful out of our mistakes, and so we begin to accept the lie that our past defines our future. Oh friends - surely this is not the free life God meant for us to live. Elita Friesen invites you on a 5-week in-depth adventure through the book of Jonah; we will discover that the areas in our lives where we hold our heads in guilt and shame are the exact places God not only desires to set us free, but to use them for his glory. Together, we will remember again that God is in the business of second chances; where we see a mess, God sees the potential for a beautiful masterpiece.
