Free to Fail!
Scripture Text: John 8:36
In this opening session, Pat tells of a spiritually dark time in her life. Though she was a long-time Christian and a missionary, she lost connection with God, and wandered in the darkness of doubt and guilt. In response to her cry, God sent an unlikely person to lead her out of darkness back into the Light. Oh, the wonder of God’s unconditional love, of absolute absolution and of the power of the resident Holy Spirit! Imagine the startling announcement to a perfectionist: "Isn't it great to know you're free to fail?"
Session One - Free To Fail!
