Self-Care Outreach Bible Studies
Our campuses are desperate for self-care. This four-session series will invite your community - Christians and seekers alike - to explore their level of self-care (body, soul, relationships), and consider Jesus’ invitation for true rest, joy, and peace found in him.
This resource is part of the Self-Care Outreach Collection.
True Rest, Joy, and Peace
Our campuses are desperate for self-care. This four-session series will invite your community—Christians and seekers alike—to explore their level of self-care (body, soul, relationships), and consider Jesus’ invitation for true rest, joy, and peace found in him.
Each study contains:
- guided Scripture passage
- reflection questions
- life application
- spiritual practices
- self-care personal diagnostic
We pray that these studies may lead your community deeper together and deeper in Christ.
