Change and Your Relationships

This 12-week CCEF study helps individuals and small groups transform their relationships using principles from Timothy Lane and Paul David Tripp's Relationships: A Mess Worth Making. Participants learn how to resolve conflicts, have difficult conversations, grant forgiveness, overlook weaknesses, celebrate strengths, and grow casual relationships into deep friendships. Change and Your Relationships explores the important process of change within its primary context: our relationships. The curriculum provides twelve lessons, activities, homework discussion, and "Make It Real" life applications. The self-explanatory leader's notes in the back give detailed directions for leading an individual or a small group through the study.
