Week One - The New Church

The children of Israel's enslavement in Egypt gives us a picture of our own lives when we feel stuck — trapped in some bad habit, thought pattern, or compulsive behavior that prevents us from being free and happy and from fulfilling our potential. Like the children of Israel, before we can break free from slavery, we must recognize that we are in slavery.

Week One: Slavery in Egypt

Welcome to Week One

Week One Task: Discovering when We are Stuck Identify any behaviors, thought or emotions that hold you back and enslave you.

Identify times in your life are areas of your life in which you are stuck: What holds you back? Where do you feel you are trapped or enslaved? Identify any behaviors, thoughts or emotions that are destructive to your life. When do they come up for you? What are their patterns? What are the excuses/lies you use to defend these behaviors? Do these habits have control over your life? Are you a slave to them? Once you have recognized ways that you are stuck in life you are ready for the possibility of moving out of the enslavement.
