    Hello Family,

    Welcome to Week 2 of The Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course.

    As we continue our journey this week, our focus will be on The 10 Symptoms of Unhealthy Spirituality, (Read pages 23-36 in the book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazerro)

    The 10 Symptoms

    1. Using God to run from God.

    2. Ignoring the emotions of anger, sadness, and fear.

    3. Dying to the wrong things.

    4. Denying the past’s impact on the present.

    5. Dividing life into “secular” and “sacred” compartments.

    6. Doing for God instead of being with God.

    7. Spiritualizing away conflict.

    8. Covering over brokenness, weakness, and failure.

    9. Living without limits.

    10. Judging the spiritual journeys of others.

    And our case study this week is King Saul in 1 Sam 15:7-24. (Read)
