Fresh Start Process: Welcome

What freedom do you need today? What’s keeping you chained? Maybe it’s an addiction, betrayal, grief, feeling hopeless in a relationship, or even distorted thoughts rolling around in your own heart and mind. In Proverbs 4:23 God says, “Above all else guard your heart, for from it flow the well-springs of life.” If YOUR heart was the only wellspring or drinking source from which others could drink, how “healthy” would they be? A sobering question, isn’t it? Whose heart hasn’t been affected by someone or something? Even if your wellspring has become “polluted“ with unforgiveness or bitterness, you can still have a “Fresh Start” for your heart! True freedom has no limit to what’s available. Join us for a Six-Part journey in helping you process the issues of your heart. This series will help you be free from your past, thrive (not just survive) in the present, and reap the benefits of a hope-filled future! Freedom is available for you, today! To get started, download the Processing the Issues of Your Heart Booklet, and follow along as we begin this series with the Part 1 Process Video.

Part 1 | Offense, Hurt, and Loss

Psalm 26:2

What happened? Who hurt you? What have you lost? Let’s start with your story. Your journey of freedom begins first with a step of honesty. In this part of the process, identify one significant area of hurt, offense, or loss that is hindering your life. Whether it was an event that happened recently or something from when you were a child, no detail is too small. No pain is too great. Choose one person or event to process.

Part 2 | Affect

Psalm 139:23

What is in your heart? How have you been affected by this hurt, offense or loss? Take some time to pause and consider what your thoughts have been toward this person or event. What have your thoughts been toward yourself? Toward God? What have your feelings been? Or, have you been numbing them for so long you don’t even feel anymore? Describe your thoughts and feelings in detail. Present feelings are indicators of past pain.
