Free to Thrive Study Guide A Biblical Guide to Understanding How Your Hurt, Struggles, and Deepest Longings Can Lead to a Fulfilling Life

Your struggles are not random. They are signals that, when answered, can lead you toward a thriving life.

In the Free to Thrive Study Guide, designed for use with the Free to Thrive Video Study, Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett will take you on a journey of healing. They'll teach you how to overcome struggles, hurts, and unwanted behaviors by engaging your unmet longings.

Meant for use in a group setting such as a Bible study, church staff training, Sunday school class, or small group gathering, each session follows this format:

• Introductory questions to get you thinking about the topic


• Video teaching and small group discussion, including several readings from the Bible


• Reflection and prayer as a group

In addition, you'll hear encouraging stories of actual people who have also faced hurt and struggles and found real healing and thriving lives.
