“Being Brave: A Journey to the Life God Dreams for You”

Join counselor, speaker, author and coach Kelly Johnson as she shares the story of her devotional book “Being Brave: A Journey to the Life God Dreams for You.” What happens when we turn down the voice of fear, step out of our comfort zone, and truly grasp our identity as God’s Brave Beloved? As we explore our BRAVE acronym, we will consider what it means to be Bold, Resilient, Authentic, Vulnerable, Engaged and Empowered. Through teaching and group discussion, we will explore this universal truth: “For God did not give us a Spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7.
