Redeemed Bible Study Guide: Turning Brokenness Into Something Beautiful

God does not intend for us to fight our battles alone. Our battles do not disqualify us from his grace--no matter what they are.

The two CORE for Men studies--Redeemed and Transformed--each feature five raw and real video stories (DVD/video streaming sold separately) of men who have fought with feelings of isolation and disqualification. Through these personal stories of brokenness and redemption, you and your group will be encouraged to step out of shame and into your own God-shaped stories.

Sessions and Contributors include:

1. Called (Mariano Rivera, pitcher for New York Yankees)
2. Redemption (Kyle Oxford, tattoo artist)
3. Sons (Tommy Green, lead singer for the metal/hardcore band Sleeping Giant)
4. Restoration (Robert Irving III, music director for Miles Davis)
5. Purpose (Tom Paterson, master strategic thinker)

Brought to you by the men behind the organization Promise Keepers, the passion behind the CORE for Men studies is to create spaces where men have permission to be real--where men discover they are not alone with the kind of doubts and fears they face everyday.

CORE is a biblical expression of solidarity that will lead you back to a God who's in the business of turning brokenness into forgiveness and pain into a new and fulfilling purpose.

Designed for use with the Redeemed: Turning Brokenness into Something Beautiful Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
