Module 6 - 13 Weeks
Unbound: Growing Ever-Freer in Christ
This 13-week module prepares students to utilize the Biblically solid, theologically sound curriculum "UNBOUND: Growing Ever-Freer in Christ”. This curriculum has been through many transitions over the years, yet has been used quite effectively in all of its variations to help transform lives for over 30 years.
When someone becomes a Christian, the core of who they are is "reborn," or "created anew." However, this new life in Christ doesn't immediately unbind us from the lies we have believed, the residue of the sins we have committed, or the effects of the evils we have suffered.
Very often, these relics of our "once dead" existence need to be peeled away: lies need to be replaced with the Truth, sins need to be replaced with forgiveness, and the evils we have suffered need to be replaced with new patterns of light and life.
Often, idolatrous "addictive" behaviors are the usual coping mechanism we develop in our attempt to escape the guilt and shame we struggle against; what we here call "relics of death and decay."
Counseling those who struggle with "addictive" behavior patterns is not as simple as adopting a 12-Step program or becoming a Celebrate Recovery chapter.
Besetting sins – whether they involve chemicals, relationships, pornography, food, or any other "substance" – overtake a person's life based on the underlying belief system of the individual and their inability to break free and remain free.
Built on the precepts of two verses (John 8:36 and Romans 12:2), “Unbound” is a 1- to 1½-year intensive discipleship program with an exceptionally high success rate for those who complete the program.
