How People Change–B204, Tuesdays at 9:30am (Joann Polk)
If you’ve ever tried, failed, and wondered why… you need How People Change. The How People Change study challenges and equips participants to live out the gospel in their everyday lives. This course helps people to understand the underlying motivations for their actions and gives them specific, practical help in changing long-standing patterns of behavior, so they grow in love for God and others. This study explains the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way you can apply to the challenges of daily life. But change involves more than a biblical formula: You will see how God is at work to make you the person you were created to be, and, that powerful, loving, redemptive relationship is at the heart of all positive change you experience. Required course material is How People Change by Paul David Tripp study guide, available for purchase in class (book is optional), Bible and notebook.
