Hope in Recovery Bible Study Groups
All of us have hurts and disappointments that we must overcome, and sometimes—being human—we don’t cope in healthy ways. When we try to face the world alone, it can lead to destructive behaviors and patterns that hurt us and those around us. But you are not alone, and we can face these things together in community.
