Week 1: Following Jesus with Our Whole Selves - Growing in Emotional Wisdom as Christ’s Disciples

Many Christians have been formed to love God with their minds and wills, but have never been invited to love God with their emotional lives. This seven-week adult education class introduces a biblically grounded vision of emotional health as an essential part of Christian discipleship. Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of the church, and insights from Emotionally Healthy Discipleship by Pete Scazzero, we will explore how God meets us in our stories, our grief, and our emotions—and how greater emotional awareness can deepen our love for God and neighbor. This course is an invitation to become more whole, honest, and mature followers of Jesus, integrating faith with the inner life in a way that is faithful to the gospel and the Reformed tradition.
