What is distinctive about the Living Free materials?
Living Free groups are curriculum driven-we are not trying to train people to be counselors. The groups are established using a group facilitator guide that helps the leader keep the group on target and working within proper guidelines. Living Free groups are Christ-centered-when problems remain the center of the group people tend to remain “stuck”. We want people to deal honestly with the problems they face but never lose sight of the fact that their true identity is in Christ and not in their struggles. Living Free groups are not a “quick fix”. We know that the path of Christian growth is a long journey of growing in God’s grace that requires diligence in resisting the devil, determination to keep the sinful nature crucified, devotion to God, and dedication to walking in the Spirit. Living Free groups have a twenty year history of working in churches large and small, urban and rural, formal and informal. Each church can use the materials in a way that fits its style of ministry.
