"I have come so that you may have life and have it abundantly" John 10:10. Jesus tells us clearly that he wants us to have full abundant lives, but the world tells us a different story. Over and over again we hear messaging about how we aren't enough, that we don't deserve full lives, or that we are somehow broken and unworthy of love. This class examines God's response when we feel like just aren't enough. Come to learn about where we see shame in scripture and how we can live abundant lives because of what Jesus has done for us!
