We often divide our lives up into different pieces. These pieces might be work, ministry, spouse, children, extended family, education, physical well-being, emotional health, a personal walk with God, entertainment, hobbies, friendships, and potentially many more! Many times we think that what we do with one of these pieces of our life has little impact, if any, on the other areas. This is simply not true. During this workshop we will delve into God’s Word and learn how every piece of our lives is connected and make practical applications about how to address that principle in our daily lives.
