“God gave us emotions to experience
life, not destroy it.” Lysa Terkheurst
Based on the book Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions, this study is designed to help
women understand the most common emotions and reaction
types that destroy relationships. It is also created to
encourage sisters in Christ to love and encourage one
another in the “imperfect progress” journey of a
grace-filled life that leads to healthy, loving, lasting
relationships.
