Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall: Removing Spiritual Blindness from our Lives

We will look at removing the Spiritual Blindness from our lives. It’s only when we look in God’s Word – the mirror that we see ourselves with clarity and through God’s grace that we understand what we see. When we don’t have God’s word to guide us, our blinding sin keeps us from seeing clearly. We make excuses and exaggerate our circumstances. “It was too hard”, “I tried”, “I’m a failure”, or “It’s not my fault”. Learn how to embrace the grace and freedom God has planned for us.

Gratification vs. Growling: Staying Satisfied While Losing Weight

Hunger is your body’s natural cue that it needs more food. Many people give up on trying to lose weight because, when they start eating less, they feel “deprived” and hungry. Did you know that there are specific foods that can actually help control your appetite, making you feel more “full” and satisfied during your weight loss journey? Our amazing God created specific hormones in our intricately-designed bodies to regulate appetite, and our food choices and eating behaviors can affect the levels of those hormones. Come to this session for some healthy, practical tips for decreasing hunger–and set yourself up for weight loss SUCCESS!

As a child, the only place she could truly be herself was tucked away in a secret place where no one could find her. Only when she was in her hiding place would she let herself cry. Yet even there, God was reaching out to Jeanne, calling her to find her refuge in Him. In this workshop Jeanne will share her personal story of how a shooting taught her that it is often through the hardest trials that we understand that Jesus is our perfect hiding place.

“I’m not good enough” is an example of mistaken thinking with which many struggle. This workshop, based on the FP4H Bible study Forever Changed, presents five truths to replace wrong thoughts about our identity. By discovering and learning to live from the truth about how God sees us, we can fully embrace our God-given potential and purpose.

What to do When Your “Check Engine” Light Comes On: Overcoming Health Issues as We Age.
