it's time for a fresh perspective on trust!

Dear OBS friends,

I love the start of a new year! Bursting with promise and opportunity, it's the perfect time for fresh starts and healing.

What if 2025 could be the year you rediscover trust, peace, and deeper connections with God and others?

This is my hope and prayer for you, and why I’d love for you to join me for our 2025 New Year OBS - I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t, starting January 21st! This study, led by the wonderful Lysa TerKeurst, offers biblical tools to help us heal from past hurts, rebuild trust, and move forward with confidence in God's plans.

It's time for a fresh perspective on trust, and there's no better time than now! Let’s make this the year we let go of past wounds and embrace the peace that comes from trusting God more fully. Sign up today, and bring a friend or prayer partner along!

Happy New Year and I'll see you in the study,

~ Laurie, your OBS leader

JOIN THE STUDY

P.S. Curious what we're going to study? Here’s the week-by-week breakdown!

Week 1: The Requirements for Trust – Study what the Bible says about the two requirements of trust: safety and connection.
Week 2: Do They Value Trust Like You Do – Identify 11 relational red flags to address feelings of unease.
Week 3: Trust is a Track Record – Understand how God models the principle of repairing rips in relationships throughout Scripture and
implements it in our relationship with Him and others.
Week 4: The More I Doubt Him, the Less I'll Trust Him – Learn how to be obedient to God and do what He asks us to do, rather than to try to figure out things on our own.
Week 5: What If Instead of Controlling, We Decided to Just Wait and See? - Recall God’s faithfulness in the past, so we are less likely to panic and suffer from fear of the future.
Week 6: What is the Source of My Discernment? - See how God has uniquely equipped us with His Spirit to help us discern what is good and what is harmful.
