How the class works
A safe small group
8–14 people who get it. Share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
10 weekly meetings
About 2 hours each. A facilitator guides the workbook; no expert required.
Practice that sticks
Weekly commitments and an action partner turn skills into daily habits.
Christ at the center
Every week opens with a principle from My Foundation — His grace is the source of strength.
