1. Domestic Violence: Domestic violence can be defined generally as "a pattern of assaultive and/or coercive behaviors including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as economic coercion, that adults use against their intimate partners to gain power and control in that relationship." This class will address issues of family violence and how it affects both children and adults. It is designed to help individuals heal while recognizing, understanding, and learning to modify the behaviors that have a negative effect on their lives.

2. Fear Is Never Our Friend: You don't have to forsake your dreams, talents, and heart's desires because of fear! Stop allowing its destructive power to rule your life. You can become fearless - when you know how to apply the powerful secrets and proven principles in Scripture that enable you to exercise your God-given faith in any situation! Fear Is Never Our Friend is Hensley Publishing's first in a new line of small group Bible studies designed for people who want to do structured Bible study. In seven simple chapters, you'll discover why: NO can be a great answer, failure is often the beginning, you must envision limits, attitude is never enough , you must be will ing to embrace life's risks, and you can come to that place in your life where you find freedom from fear. At the end of each chapter you'll find questions designed for reflection and discussion, so you can easily use it for personal or small group study. This design also allows you to determine for yourself just how in depth your Bible study will be.

5. Leading Character: Character is critical to Christian leadership, but being nearly perfect is not. Whatever our role or position, we're marked by God's character---yet also marred by sin and brokenness. Blending humor, real-life stories, and biblical truths, this workshop reveals that it's through transforming our shortcomings that we find our greatest opportunities to develop true leadership.

1. So Beautiful: A Divine Design for Life and the Church God's divine design shines through everything, from DNA's double helix to the blueprint for his church. Referencing the life of John Newton, Sweet calls for a reunion of complementary strands that make up the "beautiful" structure of the church---missional, relational, and incarnational and shows how today's congregations can weave them together to accomplish God's purpose.

2. The Jesus Survey: What Christian Teens Really Believe and Why, shares the groundbreaking results of a nationwide survey of Christian teenagers from sixteen different denominations. The discoveries of how core beliefs about Jesus--and the Holy Spirit, prayer, evangelism, and more--influence the way a teen actually experiences God personally and offers ideas for helping teens overcome faulty perceptions. Pastors, youth pastors, parents, and educators will find in The Jesus Survey both an enlightening and invaluable tool for understanding the faith of teens around them and a guide for helping teens nurture an authentic, satisfying, and vibrant relationship with Christ. Who do Christian teens say Jesus is and what does he mean in their lives? The answers might surprise you.

3. Dynamic Diversity: Bridging Class, Age, Race and Gender in the Church Believing that all Christian congregations are "bridging centers," The workshop proposes a biblical model for reconciliation where diversities in gender, generation, ethnicity, color, and socioeconomic status offer opportunities for practical oneness on the local level. Overcoming differences through the presence of the Holy Spirit brings new life to the church---and a "new humanity" to the world.

4. The Relief of Imperfection: For Women Who Try Too Hard to Make it Just Right Is perfectionism a blessing or a curse? Self-described "recovering workaholic" Webb believes it's time for women to stop trying to fix everything and start enjoying authentic, intimate relationships with others and with God. Learn how Jesus lived in the midst of imperfect surroundings; discover the depth of God's grace; and more.
