Embrace your identity and gifts to fulfill your God-given purpose with Unleashed, a study of the Gospel of John by Heather M. Dixon. Wonderfully made. Lavishly loved. These aren’t just pretty words lifted from the pages of Scripture. They were written about us. God created each of us to serve as His ambassador to the world. But often we feel unworthy or unqualified, thinking we have nothing to offer. Embracing our identity in Christ allows us to release what is holding us back and run with wild abandon toward God’s purpose for our lives— to love God and love our neighbor with all that we are . In Living God’s Purpose for Your Life with Abandon , a six-week study of the Gospel of John by Heather M. Dixon, you will explore six characters from the Gospel of John who were set free by Jesus from what hindered them and unleashed into the world with renewed purpose and direction.By exploring their encounters with Jesus alongside passages that define who you are in Him, you too will be freed from doubt and insecurity about who God made you to be, what God has designed you to do, and how God has uniquely gifted you to fulfill his purpose of love in your life. Unleashed guides you through the practice of letting go of six thoughts that hinder you. 1. I don’t have the confidence I need for that (Nicodemus)2. I have nothing to offer (the woman at the well)3. I am hindered by my limitations (the disabled man at the pool of Bethesda)4. I can’t make a difference (the blind man)5. I am not qualified (Peter)6. Everyone else is already doing it (Mary Magdalene) Get ready to root yourself in your identity as a beloved child of God and gain the confidence to love well simply by being yourself. You were made to be unleashed! Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and video sessions with six 20 to 25-minute segments (with closed captioning).
