The Set Free Women’s Ministry invites all women to join for an open seminar focusing on developing a Biblical perspective on sex and sexuality. We will have various teachers from within our church walking us through the 20 chapters of Ellen Dykas’s (of Harvest USA) Sexual Sanity for Women. This book guides us through the process of understanding why we struggle with destructive relational and sexual patterns and how the Gospel brings change. The goal is to understand God’s good design for sexuality, the underlying reasons we struggle with sexual brokenness, and how the grace and truth of Jesus Christ can be applied to our struggles. Change begins as deeper heart issues are uncovered. This series is for women of all ages (18+ and youth accompanied by a parent), whether you’ve struggled personally, are leading or shepherding someone who is struggling or are just interested in learning about this specific sin pattern that affects nearly everyone, whether directly or indirectly. To learn more, please email brittany.facinoli@gmail.com.
