Desire can draw us closer to God or lead to difficult struggles. Often, we react by labeling desire as sin or adopting legalistic practices, thereby closing off our hearts. How do we embrace desire as God intended? How do we process challenges that tempt us towards false intimacy? Let’s search for answers to these questions and more as we study John Eldredge’s The Journey of Desire, and explore how we respond or react to desire. Each week features a chapter summary, group discussion, and opportunity for questions. Please consider joining us for this transformational study!

Class participants should purchase The Journey of Desire by John Eldredge from their preferred retailer prior to the first class.  

Please register in advance. New class participants will not be accepted after the first week of class.
