The Truth Project

By Focus on the Family  (12 weeks)
Leader:  Denie Dalton

This is God’s promise: “renewing of the mind” brings about a true transformation that will keep us from conforming to the world.  We are in a battle for Truth.  The Truth that we seek--and the Truth that stands directly opposed to the lies of the world, the flesh, and the devil – is found ultimately in the character and being of God Himself.  This study is the starting point for looking at life from a Biblical perspective.  Each lesson discusses the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview
in daily life and is designed to build a comprehensive, systematic Biblical worldview.
Approximately 1 hour of homework each week.

Believing God
