TrueFaced - Living in an environment of Grace TrueFaced draws a clear distinction between two
very different underlying motives: a determination to please God or to trust Him. The resulting
difference from these two starting points could not be more profound. One results in a striving
that never feels it has done enough to please Him. The other results in a trust that experiences His
full pleasure. Our motives as followers of Christ will either keep us in unresolved sin or immaturity
or free us into God’s astonishing dream for our life. Join other adults for this interactive study on
the realities of the grace life. Bryan Booker is teaching this mixed adult class that will challenge
you to the fullness of living TrueFaced in Christ!
