Did you know that when God created you, he hardwired you mentally, emotionally and physically for relationships with others and with him? In fact, the only thing “not good” in the Garden of Eden was that Adam was alone.
This explains why you long for healthy, genuine relationships, but too often, your relationships bring pain instead of comfort and safety.
Using the content from our podcast series, Managing Your Relationships, we designed a Small Group Study to help you manage the difficult emotions surrounding relationships and nurture healthy connections with the people in your life. And we’re offering it to you for free!
As your small group works through this 8-week study, you will learn how to resolve conflict, improve communication, and rebuild broken trust. You’ll grow in relational and spiritual maturity so that you can maintain strong relationships, stay mentally and emotionally healthy, and be a better friend, parent, spouse, and leader.
The Small Group Study consists of a Leader’s Guide and a Participant’s Guide, which include all the information you need for an 8-lesson study, as well as links to the podcast episodes that coordinate with each lesson.
Here are the 8 lessons in the Managing Your Relationships Study:

Lesson 4: The Roots & Weeds of Toxic Relationships
