We all come from a biological family. The Bible teaches that God designed the family as a safe and secure place where His covenant promises are passed down and where His ways are both taught and caught by the next generation. But Scripture—and our own stories—also show that families can be messy, imperfect places where wounds, confusion, and unmet needs take root.
Do you long for insight and practical tools to help the young people in your life grow in emotional, relational, and spiritual health? Are you walking with a young person who feels lost, anxious, or unsure of who they are? Do you ever wonder if healing is possible for the gaps in your own upbringing?
Join us for Families Flourishing: Youth & Adolescence, a four-part, faith-integrated workshop series led by youth mental health expert, April Twenhafel, LMFT, and our team.
Is there more to modern life and relationships than an endless litany of landmines to avoid, responsibilities, activity, achievement, and pressure? How can I actually experience meaning and fulfillment in my relationships with myself, friends, my family of origin or creation, and God? Why do I struggle with feeling hollow and disconnected, or like I'm never going to be enough?
At New Life, we want to see lives changed and families flourish in the power of the Gospel. We've partnered with Oak Health Foundation, a Christian nonprofit counseling center, to help us understand how we are designed for connection, and how to begin understanding and overcoming common obstacles to healthy relationships. You'll gain practical paradigms, approaches, and skills to cultivate relationships in the image of God's secure love.
