The Journey for Women
Our study is Luke: Gut-Level Compassion by Lisa Harper.
Lean in and linger in Jesus’ embrace. Perfection is NOT required. Many women believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations.

Join us and Lisa Harper in this Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked!
