MISHAWAKA, IND. -- Break­ing Free 101 is a se­ries de­signed to help Chris­t­ian in­di­vid­u­als find their free­dom in Christ. The study group be­gins Mon­day, Sept. 17, 7:30 p.m., in room 342 of the Aca­d­e­mic Cen­ter. The ses­sions count as Chapel credit.  

This 10-week se­ries is based off Dr. Neil An­der­son’s “The Steps to Free­dom in Christ.” Break­ing  Free 101 is con­sid­ered a group ap­proach in find­ing per­sonal free­dom in Christ. It ad­dresses prob­lems that many Chris­tians face emo­tion­ally and spir­i­tu­ally, and it ex­plains how to deal with those prob­lems. The ul­ti­mate goal of this study is to have an en­counter with the real and liv­ing Christ, said Bill Jones, of World Part­ners, who leads the group. 

Breaking Free 101 covers seven different problems that Christians encounter in their journey to finding freedom in Christ. Anyone who would like to participate is to come with a trusted friend (of the same gender), for a prayer partner. This study is designed to help individuals and their partners overcome those obstacles and help them to develop their personal relationships with God. These sessions are for everyone, not just those who come from a more difficult back round.   Breaking Free 101 is the perfect tool to be able to discover freedom in Christ, according to Jones. There have been over 1,200 students, faculty and staff who have participated in this ground-breaking study group since it began, and over 95 percent have been able to achieve a level of freedom in an area of their lives. Breaking Free 101 has changed many lives for better, and hopefully will go on to change many more, he said.  There is a $7 fee to join the group to cover materials, but there are scholarships available.
