Do you want your kids to grow up to be emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually healthy? As kids go through life, they encounter people and situations that lead them to pack and carry some enormous emotional baggage that keeps them from living in the grace and freedom that Christ provides. In this study, parents will identify common “bags” that kids pack and consider practical strategies that parents can use to leverage their influence and help their kids "lighten the load."

“You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16
A farmer plows his field but is still dependent on God to bring rain. Farming is a joint venture between God and the farmer. The farmer cannot do what God must do, and God will not do what the farmer should do. We can say just as accurately that the pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely, no one will attain it without effort on his own part. God has made it possible for us to walk in holiness.
