Teachers: Joyce Graham & Lori Floyd | Cost: $30God has an incredible purpose for each of our lives. This class will help us gain new tools to dismantle strongholds and live fully free in His power and purposes.

Jesus promised us abundant life and joy not dependent on life circumstances, yet life in this fallen world is harsh, and trouble abounds. It’s easy to become weighed down with worries, defeat, past hurts, hopelessness, and other bondages that can dull or block our intimacy with Christ and make us feel stuck. This class will give us new tools to dismantle strongholds and live fully free in His power and purposes. The goal is transformation, and the time is now!
