Enslaved African Americans did not accept pro-slavery interpretations of the Bible, seeing them as selective at best and purposely misleading and racist at worst. Join us as we discover how African Americans rescued the Bible from slavery’s hands.
People yearn for a perfect life they can never grasp. They want to be successful, attractive, sexually fulfilled, and free from distress. Rather than turning to God, too many try to feast on everything under the sun—diet pills, pornography, shopping sprees, one-night stands, and social media—anything to hit that sweet spot. In the end, they are left with a deep sense of shame that can draw them further down into a spiral of bingeing, hiding, and emotional self-flagellation. Join us to learn how to handle the shame and find real hope and healing.
