So many times the church in America has settled for a shallow Christianity. We live hurried lives, unable to slow down and be with Jesus. We pretend to be something on the outside that we are not on the inside, while we remain emotionally and spiritually immature. We allow a lack of self-awareness to harm our relationships. We are unable to process sadness, anger, grief, and other emotions. In essence, we are rarely multiplying mature disciples.

Many Christians have discovered that the way to a deeper transformation and mature walk with Christ comes from a combination of contemplative spirituality, emotional healing, and meaningful relationships. BCC has a long history in these areas, so is excited to begin offering the Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course. This 2-part course uniquely combines growing in love for God with growing in love for others. We will begin offering the first part of this course in January 2025.
