Read and discuss Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative by Peter Scazzero.

Wrestle with the provocative statement: "You can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature." Do you avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; live without boundaries?

Scazzero outlines a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus, including seven biblical, reality-tested steps to become emotionally mature:

  • Become your authentic self

  • Break the power of the past

  • Let go of power and control

  • Surrender to your limits

  • Stop to breathe by practicing rest and Sabbath

  • Learn new skills to love well

  • Love Christ above all else

Read and discuss Raising Passionate Jesus Followers by Phil & Diane Comer.

Hope and practical help for parents whose greatest longing is to shepherd their children into a vibrant faith in God.

For Christian parents, there is no greater joy than seeing their children learn to walk with the Lord. And there is no greater fear than that their children will walk away from God.

After serving together in pastoral ministry and raising their now-grown children, Phil and Diane Comer know those hopes and fears well. Like all new parents, they were intimidated and unsure about how to take on the task of spiritually training their young children. But now, with all four of their children grown and establishing their own households of faith, Phil and Diane have embarked on a quest to help the next generation of parents raise passionate Jesus followers.

Drawing on years of pastoral counseling, teaching, leading, and decades of watching families from the perspective of pastors and leaders in ministry, Phil and Diane instruct, guide, encourage, and offer hope and practical help to Christian parents.

Raising Passionate Jesus Followers is a manual full of practical, biblically based, and time-tested guidelines that parents will be able to turn to again and again through every stage of their children's development, including:

  • Formulating a plan

  • Laying the foundation, ages 0-5

  • Doing the framing, ages 6-12

  • Installing the functional systems, ages 13-17

  • Completing the finish work, ages 18-22

  • And keeping the front door open for your grown children
