Let SaveOne help you pinpoint those debilitating emotions and guide you toward Gods Grace and His renewal of your mind. Step by step, this study guide shows you how to rely on your Creator for the courage to deal with the past, while answering questions such as:

Why am I an emotional wreck?

Can I really overcome my guilt and be set free?

Does God really care about me?

We live in a broken and fallen world; our brokenness extends to the depths of our emotions, our souls, and our sexuality. This small group curriculum by Tammy Webb-Witholt deals with moving from a homosexual lifestyle into a vital growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

What it offers

• Shows that the goal is not to move from homosexuality into heterosexuality. The goal of our lives as followers of Christ is to come into His holiness.
• Shows that our journey of faith in Christ, whatever the depth of our brokenness, sexual or otherwise, is not to merely stop being one thing in order to become another.
• Shows that the goal of each day is to grow toward Christ. God by the power of His Holy Spirit and the truth of His Holy Word transforms us into a new creation.
• Shows the holiness is used in the truest definition of the word holy meaning to be "set apart" for God.
