What better way to further your own healing and participate in the healing of others than to start a study using Karla’s materials. Whether it is committing to studying the material with a friend or starting a group in your home or church, you will find Karla’s material rich with principles that provide real and needed help to women and men struggling with difficult relationships and life issues.

We are wounded in relationships and healed in relationships. Sharing about the pain we are experiencing with others who have or are experiencing the same thing brings hope. James 5:16 tells us that we are healed when we confess our weaknesses and problems to each other and offer each other support through prayer and encouragement.

If you are looking for a way to allow God to use your life experiences in difficult relationships for good, share the encouragement you have received from Him with others (2 Corinthians 1:4). We naturally look for God to bring good out of bad. Let Him bring good out of your difficulties by reaching out to others and offering them hope. Compassion and empathy come from understanding and there is no one more suited to help others than those who have already walked that way.

Karla’s materials encourage conversation on real life issues. The group participants will naturally share about their pain and struggles and in doing so will offer hope and healing to each other and themselves, which will make your group an excellent support group. There isn’t always an opportunity to talk about these real issues in other Bible study groups, yet there are those that need to not only talk about their struggles but also to find practical help along with Biblical truths.
