perfectly flawed women’s bible study leader guide: god transforms our weaknesses into strengths (a women’s bible study on the life of peter)

We are all flawed, but God can turn those weaknesses into strengths. The Perfectly Flawed Leader Guide outlines six small group sessions complete with prayers, summaries, discussion questions, and video viewer guides. The leader guide will support group leaders of all experience levels in creating strong learning communities. In Perfectly Flawed, Lisa Toney shows how the apostle Peter’s passion and imperfections make him one of the Bible’s most loved and relatable people. Even when Peter gave up, gave in, and gave out, Jesus was there for him. Join Lisa as she follows Peter through his time with Jesus, from the beginning of Jesus’s ministry to the Resurrection and on through Pentecost when Peter begins to live into his call. Along the way, discover the raw honesty of a man who veered from staunch devotion to moments of doubt, mirroring our own human struggles. In the six-week Bible study Perfectly Flawed, we see that there is an unparalleled power Jesus gives that can only be found in our weakness. We discover the strength of Jesus that is available to each of us. Learn to persevere in your faith, live confidently, and boldly step into God’s purpose for you. See how Peter’s story is an invitation to embrace imperfection, find strength in the relentless grace of God, and discover how each one of us is perfectly flawed but still deeply loved by God. Other components for the Bible study include a Participant Workbook with daily readings and teaching video available on DVD.
