Soul-Deep Beauty

Start Date: Jan 27, 2025

Are you tired of society’s broken messages around beauty and body image? Do you long for a fuller, truer definition and understanding of beauty? If so, please join this six-week book study on Soul-Deep Beauty: Fighting for Our True Worth in a World Demanding Flawless, led by author Melissa Johnson, MA, LMFT.

We will be reading and discussing two chapters a week as we consider: the widespread impact of media, how beauty/diet culture impacts the way we see ourselves and others, the hidden damage cultural lies have on the mind and soul, how we might walk away from shame and striving, and the importance of redefining beauty from a spiritual perspective. If you’re ready to re-awaken to true, soul-deep beauty, this group is for you. Please join us!

Class materials: Soul-Deep Beauty book by Melissa Johnson
(Please have the first two chapters read by the first meeting on Jan 27!)

Monday nights, 6:30pm CT


Class Format: Online via Zoom
Duration: 6 weeks
Instructor(s): Melissa Johnson

"I have found, in you, a place where the preached word profoundly resonates with my own recent journey of faith and has cemented a new way of thinking, I suppose like jigsaw pieces falling into place. I am grateful that a friend pointed me in your direction."
