Your Past Doesn't Drive Anymore

Freedom and Heart Change

Your history shaped you, and in Christ it does not determine what you do next. Framed by the prodigal son, this course teaches the biblical categories for handling your past: grieving what deserves grief, repenting of what needs repentance, and receiving the identity the Father gives. You will apply the categories to your own patterns.
