The Healing Journey Class
The Healing Journey Class is a 29-week comprehensive Bible Study designed for people who want to learn God’s principles for healing. While there are many aspects of the class, it is primarily a Bible study that gives women the opportunity to personally process the painful events of their life.
The six goals of The Healing Journey Class are:
To have
- a peaceful mind that knows the truth
- a heart that is whole, healed and filled with peace, joy and hope
So that I can enjoy
- being in an intimate relationship with God
- being the child of God made me to be
Only then can I
- relate to people through grace, mercy, honesty, truth and love
- serve in God’s kingdom from a heart that worships him
Each week Cyndy Sherwood presents a lesson, based on scripture, which deals with one aspect of the healing process. The curriculum outline (HERE) provides a detailed description of the individual classes. After viewing the DVD lesson, participants break out into small groups of 5-7 people led by a trained facilitator. During the small group time, participants process the truths of the lesson as they apply to their personal lives. Class participants are led through each of the healing steps and invited to take the steps in their own lives.
The Healing Journey Student’s Manual is the curriculum for the class. The manual includes an outline for each lesson, weekly homework assignments called Mid-Week Journey Steps, and many processing tools.
There are different reasons for coming to the class, but the primary one is to heal from past or current emotional, mental or spiritual wounds. Most of the women taking the class need healing in one area of their life or another. Additionally, women take it because they desire to have a closer and more realrelationship with God. Others take it in order to be better equipped to help others that are hurting. There are lots of good reasons for taking the journey.
Some of the main themes of the class are:
- Understanding our beliefs, shedding false beliefs and embracing the Truth
- Understanding how we have become our own god trusting in ourselves for our
provision, protection and power - Understanding how and why our perspectives are different than God’s
- Understanding our victim identities and how to be transformed to be victorious
- Understanding the steps to freedom from our wounds
- Understanding how to live as victorious people
