Content Overview

Every issue can be traced back to some kind of root cause - and for us humans, it’s the heart. The Bible has always been very clear about that! We want to give you a reliable roadmap to help you find the core heart issues behind the behaviors, emotions, and thoughts that you want to change.

And it turns out the Bible and brain science both have a lot to teach us about that process!

But even better than just finding those core issues, we’ll teach you how to repair the damage that’s been done. You’ll know how to move forward courageously alongside friends who are learning how to encourage and empower you.

Common Questions

  • Here’s what a few past participants wanted to say to anyone considering the Primer:

    “It would be greatly beneficial for EVERYONE - these life skills are so badly needed in our society and how different our marriages, families, AND relationships would look like if we all knew how to process our traumas, hurts and life challenges daily as we’re hit with them - not years later when more damage has been done.”

    “If you're willing to own to how you view the world, people, your emotions, and situations, are looking to improve upon yourself and your life, have someone to go through this with, and are willing to be honest/vulnerable with one or more other person(s), this is for you.”

  • Technically, you don’t have to… BUT, we couldn’t recommend it any more if we tried.

    No one changes alone - we all need the outside help. But that kind of vulnerability can be uncomfortable - or just plain old frightening. That’s why we have strong guidelines and guardrails for these conversations that will be VERY clear up front. Things like no advising, no interrupting, and only asking clarifying questions of each other. Even just those make it a safer place to just get the stuff that’s bottled up inside OUT.

    If you can’t find someone, that’s okay! Get started on your own and try asking just one person along the way, “hey - can I share some of what I’ve been learning along the way?” Anything you can do to make this a more relational experience will be a huge win.

  • Absolutely!

    It will function a little different than your average group study, though.

    First off, it’ll be challenging for large groups - it’s a lot of sharing, and splitting up into either subgroups or by gender would be a great way to make it more accessible.

    Second, the content is to be watched on your own, and the self-reflection work is necessary BEFORE your group meeting. At the group meeting you’ll share your reflections with everyone - so you can’t go in unprepared… because you’ll have nothing to share :)
