Journey to Freedom: Discovering the God of Deliverance
Are you searching for freedom? Feeling stuck but unsure how to release your potential? Wondering what the world would actually look like under the reign of a generous, liberating King?
Natasha Sistrunk Robinson invites you to the book of Exodus. With her fresh perspective and deep historical understanding, find your story within the well-known story of Moses and the Israelites. Exodus is about more than Moses leading the children of Israel out of slavery and receiving the Ten Commandments. It uncovers a piece of who you are, and how God desires for you to live freely every day. In this 8-week Bible study, Robinson provides you with insights and tools to understand how God reveals His presence and His attitude toward issues of justice, leadership, and social responsibility.
Discover how God wants to build a relationship with you, equip you for His work, and use you to make long-lasting impacts in your community.

WHAT MAKES THIS STUDY UNIQUE:
Journey to Freedom, An Exodus Bible study is written by an African American woman. It speaks with relevance for the New Testament church, and conscious conviction for our current times.
This doctorate candidate (DMIN North Park Theological Seminary) has presented an 8-week study that is theologically rich and historically accurate for the original Jewish/Hebrew hearers.
This is a study for the whole church that is written as a layperson's commentary and includes individual and group discussion questions, along with weekly exercises and reflections.
The study offers consistent leadership lessons and coaching, to include a consistent challenge for the intergenerational work that is needed as we intentionally invest and raise up the next generation of faithful servants of God.

“A lot of people are talking about freedom these days, and rightly so. We're surrounded by captivity: to sin, injustice, and evil. And, if we're honest, we'll confess how these captivities run through our own hearts. We need to be free! With Exodus as her guide, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson is a scout pointing us beyond bondage to the way of freedom. With wisdom from Scripture and insight from a life well lived, Natasha invites us to actually experience the freedom Jesus promises and then shows us how.”
