Description
Do you believe it's possible to love like Jesus and not feel like a doormat? Or is practicing loving-kindness an invitation to resentful martyrdom? The truth is that in Christian culture, we often confuse love with enabling, politeness, and codependence. So how do we see our relationships with new eyes? In this course, you'll learn to lovingly affirm yours' and others' dignity, while taking practical actions that won't let people walk all over you. This course is for you if you have ever: Wondered why loving like Jesus makes you feel bitter, angry or resentful. Assumed you're a terrible Christian because you're struggling with unhealthy relationships. Tried to love people well... only to feel used. I'd love to help you: Admit the resentment, frustration and pain you're feeling in a key relationship. Recognize the ways you may be unintentionally chipping away at yours' and others' dignity. Affirm that loving dignity is possible in every circumstance. Take a practical, safe, and kind step towards loving people like Jesus. I'll talk about my own struggles with candor, point out Christian culture's occasional tone-deafness about emotional and relational health and-heads up-drop a cuss word once or twice. Work your way through this four-hour self-paced course 10-15 minutes at a time. The downloadable workbook will help you take notes during the sessions and journal your thoughts afterwards, and provides suggested resource lists for further study and help.
