D.I.V.A - Divine Individuals Virtuously Aligned
Many realize the significant role that an intimate, tightly knit circle of friends play in creating a more fulfilling life, but with hectic schedules, frequent moves, and life changes, it's more important than ever for women to establish natural, meaningful friendships that will contribute to their overall wellbeing. This life class will highlight the importance of evaluating your current circle of friends and help you realize that friends shine bright together.
Tameka Martin
You G. L. O. W. Girl
G.L.O.W. represents Giving, Living, Obeying, and Waiting. Putting these words into action is what you need to do to enhance your Christian walk. As Believers in Christ, we must build and maintain relational capacity with like-minded sisters in the body of Christ, and foster those relationships beyond the four walls of the church. In this life class, prepare to be engaged in the work of building upon a strong foundation in the Word of God and gain tools to grow stronger in your faith and in your purpose.
Jasmyn Lee
Authentic Friends vs Fake Friends
We need true friends who will be there for us through good times as well as the not so good ones. Among the worst scenarios in life is to be surrounded by fake friends who are more interested in taking advantage of you for their selfish agendas. But how do you tell fake friends apart from real friends? In this life class, you will learn the qualities of good friends and fake friends, know when someone is using you and how to deal with them, and learn how to get even close to a real friend.
Christy Sylvester
Find Your People!
In a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we're often tempted to do life alone, whether because we're so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we're experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. This doesn't have to be your reality. This life class will teach you how to dive into deep meaningful connections with others and experience the full wonder of community.
Michelle Powell
Friendship: Iron Sharpening Iron
Friendships are indeed valuable, but sadly, some friendships are toxic. Are your friendships a blessing or a burden? This life class will discuss the difference between codependent and healthy friendships, how selfishness sabotages friendships and the value of vulnerability in friendships. It's time to discover God's heart on friendship.
Tonnia Cotton
Friendish
For so many of us, our friends are like family members--we lean on them through our highest highs and our lowest lows--but sometimes those friendships don't turn out quite as we hoped. This life class will help you gain a richer, more life-giving, biblical vision for friendship and how to become that friend for others.
Cheresa Hogan
Am I my sister's Keeper
We live in a world of hurting women. And just as Jesus compassionately loved those who were suffering, so can we. This life class will guide us on how to pray, offer a listening ear, share from our own experiences of pain and encourage our friends with God's promises.
Krystal Berry
Birds of a Feather Flocked Together
Friendship: it's one of the simplest of human relationships in comparison to marriage or family relationships, yet it's one of the least understood and practiced. For all of our progress in making connections through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, people are consistently experiencing loneliness and growing disenchanted with the whole notion of friendship. This life class will give you a better understanding on the meaning of friendship and how biblical friendships are attainable.
