Woo-Hoo! I hope you are ready to be transformed and chiseled by GOD! I am so excited to get our bible study started!
Wanted to get some housekeeping items out of the way. So here goes.....
We have 24 people signed up so far that are interested in starting "UNGLUED"! Unfortunately, it appears that at least half of us have a conflict with Oct. 5th. So, we will move the start date to OCT. 12th.
Dates: Every Friday between October 12th and Nov. 16th ( Some of us will likely have a conflict on the 19th of OCT since Cornerstone just learned they will be out of school- We may do a make-up session on a different day, combine sessions, or add on another date-we will figure that out at our first session).
Time: 12:30 till 2 ish.
Light Lunch Served at 12:30. We will begin with short discussion regarding our homework with the video starting @ 1:00. Video's are approximately 20 minutes long. We will end with video discussion questions in our participants guide. Feel free to come in your scrubs, workout clothes, etc. This is casual!
Background Information: "Unglued" was released on August 7th and went to the New York Times Best Seller List during the first week. Lysa Terkeurst is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries out of Charlotte, NC. She has written over 15 books. Most recently, "Made to Crave", which was also a New York Times Best Selling book.
There are 4 components to "UNGLUED":
-The "Unglued Making Wise Choices In The Midst of Raw Emotions " Book
-The Participants Guide
-Unglued 6 session DVD Set
-60 Day Devotional (this won't be released till the end of Dec.)
You will need the book and the participant's guide to do the study. I will be making another order for those who don't have theirs yet on Wednesday of this week. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF YOU NEED THE BOOK AND/OR PARTICIPANT'S GUIDE.
You do not need to have the book read before the Bible Study but I do think you will get more out of the DVD and participant's guide if you read the book before hand. Most of my friends who have finished the book have all said they need to read it again because there is so much great information. It will be wonderful review and help you cement the knowledge into your everyday life. The study is designed to go with the book by reading two chapters a week. The weekly homework is more introspective vs. looking up Bible verses, etc.- not too time consuming. Even if you are unable to do the homework, You will gain a tremendous amount just from the book and watching the DVD's.
Since we have an additional week before we start, I also recommend you check out the following websites:
www.ungluedbook.com
- You can sign up for a 5 day email challenge via this site as well as take an assessment to see what kind of reactor you are (i.e., exploder vs. stuffer).

-Go to her archives and find the September 7th post. It has links to three webcasts she did to promote the book or see below. They are very very good!! Those of you that went to Kingsport to hear her live heard much of the same material but she does have some interesting guests on the last two webcasts that you may enjoy. Pay particular notice to the final webcast from Sept. 6th at the 49:13 and 51:34 mark. Here is the link for the last webcast.
Link for the second webcast: http://lysaterkeurst.com/webcast-replay/unglued-webcast-2.html

Some of you may not know that I won a contest with Lysa during her final webcast. I am super blessed to get to have lunch with Lysa in Charlotte on Oct. 10th. So for those of you that have already read the book and have any questions. Please send them my way!!!
I am looking so forward to making imperfect progress with you! Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions. 423-736-1847. Don't forget to let me know if you need the book, participant's guide, or both!
