Unaddressed personal trauma is holding countless people back from boldly stepping into their purpose. As a Pain to Purpose partner, you have the privilege of creating consistent opportunity for people to take one of the most important, difficult, and rewarding journeys of their lives.
Below is everything you need to cast vision for and promote the course–course materials, service elements, social media graphics, displays, and sermon series content–as well as access to help if there’s anything we’ve missed.
Most churches are functioning at only a fraction of their potential.

Sermon Outlines
-
Sermon One: It's Not Supposed to be This Way
If we don’t properly appropriate our pain, we could fail to learn the lessons we need to experience redemption in our suffering.
-
Sermon Two: Take Back Your Story
There will be times when we are completely overwhelmed – but in Christ we can (and will) overcome.
-
Sermon Three: Steal the Spear
It’s not a matter of if you will be hurt by someone, but when. If you don’t let God transform your pain, you will inevitably transfer it to others.
-
Sermon Four: My Worst Enemy
No matter how far we run from God, we can never outrun Him. However, He will bring us face to face with our sin before we can break free from shame.
-
Bonus Sermon: Through the Valley
If God has led you to the valley, He’ll be faithful to see you through the valley. Before He can work through you, He has to work in you.
-
Bonus Sermon: Position for Redemption
Many people don’t experience redemption because they’re not properly positioned. Are we positioned to receive what God has for us?
