BREAKING CHAINS: A Study of "Emotional Abuse" -Responding to a culture of Emotional Accusations.

By Rev. Daniel Schreck, PhD, LCAC

This semester, we are excited to offer the BREAKING CHAINS group a course designed as a guide, a source of encouragement, and a beacon of light in the path toward healing. Over the last two decades, the term emotionalabuse has become a frequent topic of conversation, used in homes,classrooms, churches, and therapy rooms alike. In many cases, this language has empowered victims to name and confront deeply painful realities. Yet in other instances, the term has been diluted, misapplied, or weaponized, often clouding our understanding rather than clarifying it.

What to Expect

This course will cover crucial topics, including:

Defining the Issue – What Is Emotional Abuse?

Created in God’s Image (Recognizing His Voice – Lies vs. Truth)

Recognizing the Tactics (ThePower of Words – Life or Death)

Reclaiming and Restoring Identity

Rebuilding Truth – Breakingthe Cycle of Lies

Boundaries and Wisdom –God’s Design for Relationships

Anger: Our Master or Our Servant

By Larry Heath

ManyChristians struggle with knowing how to respond to anger, but the Bible offers clear guidance on managing it. Anger can serve either righteous or harmful purposes, making it crucial to address it appropriately. Much like a warning light on a car dashboard signaling a deeper issue, anger often points to
underlying concerns that need attention. This class provides a healthy, biblical approach to processing anger and its related challenges, fostering healing and transformation through the power of Scripture and the Holy Spirit.

Who Should Join?

Anyone who has an anger problem, someone trying to understand how to help others with their anger, and any that would like to understand how to control their anger
