Addiction, Addictive Behavior, Recovery and the Church

Taught by Donna Coleman, this study will give a Biblical overview of addictions and recovery. This class will cover alcoholism and mood-altering substances, compulsive addictions, co-dependency, and twelve step programs. It will give a foundation and practical help for self-examination (2 Cor. 13:5), as well as educate and comfort you as you or someone you love walks through addiction and recovery. 2 Cor. 1:4 promises us that "God supports us in every hardship, so that we are able to come to the support of others, in every hardship of theirs because of the encouragement that we ourselves receive from God."
