This 8-video Christian divorce recovery series covers topics such as loneliness, forgiveness, fear, picking up the pieces, relationships, and moving past the shame and guilt to healing and wholeness.
When a tragic divorce destroys a family, many women find their hopes and dreams shattered. For many, this is the greatest loss they have ever faced. It devastates them, and they desperately need emotional and spiritual help. They struggle with loneliness and shame. Many of them need to face the pain and begin to forgive themselves and others in order to move forward in life.
The good news is that a recent study showed that Christian faith made a big difference in divorcees’ ability to put their life back together and successfully live with hope and purpose. In fact, Christians recovered nearly 3 times better than people having “no religion.” They were able to live again because of their faith and trust in the Lord!
This 8-session Christian divorce recovery series covers topics such as loneliness, forgiveness, fear, picking up the pieces, dating, and moving past the shame and guilt to healing and wholeness. The complete kit comes with a DVD containing the eight 30-minute videos, a Leader Guide, 5 Participant guides, and 5 Live Again Journals. Additional Participant Guides and Live Again Journals may be purchased separately.
"Live Again is exactly what churches need to reach out to women who've been devastated by divorce. It's a Christ-centered women's recovery program that helps them heal and draw closer to the Lord." —Pastor Roger Ball, First Baptist Church, Tempe, AZ
What will this series do for your church?
1. Help you reach out to the community. People who might never visit a church service will come for the healing the "Live Again" series offers.
2. Give hope. Reinforce that God has a good plan for the future. Many women believe they are disqualified from anything good. They need to be reminded that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Many Bible characters failed and lived to serve again.
3. Focus on Jesus. This Christ-centered journey leads women to wholeness through a deeper relationship with Jesus.
4. Keep women from making the same mistakes again. It offers a fellowship of women who want to follow Christ encourage others to grow spiritually and hold each other accountable.
5. Bring believers back. Divorce happens — even among Christians — and sometimes the shame of divorce causes a person to drift away from the church due to their own embarrassment. This DVD welcomes them and helps them reconnect.
6. Help women forgive themselves. Women fear that they have failed at one of the most important relationship in life and now have a black cloud over their head. They need to trust in God and his grace.
7. Build supportive friendships. Many women feel empty without a man in their life. This DVD-based group provides an opportunity for fellowship with caring, spiritually minded women.
8. Bring understanding. Sometimes the only person who understands is someone who has been there before. This series allows mature Christian women to guide others into healing and hope.
9. Create transparency. This series is created uniquely for women-only groups so they can share freely about the problems they are facing.
10. BONUS You don't need to have all the answers. The experts and testimonies are on the DVD. Just show the video and follow the clear, easy-to-understand leader and participant guides.
