Living Courageously Small Group Leader’s Guide: Companion to the Living Courageously Workbook

“Living Courageously” is the theme for the 2009 Journey Program. This spiritual growth program is based on the Old Testament story of the Prophet Elijah.

One of the most courageous things we can do in life is look within, discipline our mind, and strengthen our connection with the Lord so that we can serve others. This seven-week New Church Journey program will give participants an opportunity to look at their spiritual life and how the profound insights of a Biblical story can support their spiritual path.

Rooted in the Old Testament depiction of the prophet Elijah, the weekly themes explore the miracles available to each of us on our spiritual paths. Living Courageously explores the following themes:
