Worthy in Jesus Bible Study

           On October 27th we begin a 5-part series led by the author and lecturer Brene Brown. She has authored more than 10 books, provided lectures on The Oprah Show, TED Talks, and You Tube, and is an inspiration to many. You have probably heard of Brene Brown or at least one of her phrases and just did not know it.

Leah Pritchard is a Christian, a mom, and a wife of a missionary. When she was in China she found herself in a very lonely position. She picked up one of Brown’s books, The Gifts of Imperfection, and was transfixed. The book seemed to answer so many of the difficult questions she was asking. Brene Brown is a Christian and one can find references to scripture and God and a relationship with Jesus throughout her work; but that is not Brown’s entire focus. Pritchard decided to take Brene Brown’s important work and turn it into a Bible Study. In fact, the study book is called Worthy in Jesus: Unofficial Study and Discussion Guide for the Gifts of Imperfection.

So, starting on the day of the LIFE CHANGING LESSONS series, we will start our lessons with Pritchard and Brown. Classes will take place during our regular Sunday School hour from 9:00 to 10:00 and then we will offer the same course immediately after church and end around 1 pm. This is to accommodate the changed youth schedule that that now meets in the early afternoon.
