In today's episode Chris is joined by April Jones. April is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, single parent of 5 and has 4 grandchildren. She created the I AM...Curriculum. I AM...is a 12 week group that combines the power of God's Word and therapy techniques to bring healing and freedom. The curriculum excavates the lies people have believed about themselves and others for years. They dig deep and dismantle them. In the process they discover how those lies actually kept them from God's perfect plan for their lives. They learn that He really is good, all the time, even through their painful experiences. April uses the curriculum to provide weekly groups held via Zoom. You can find more information on the group by following the Instagram or Facebook pages. https://www.instagram.com/i_am_curriculum_n_course/ https://www.facebook.com/IAMCurriculum Follow this podcast on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thecoparentingrollercoaster Like this podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecoparentingrollercoaster/ Send us an email with questions, comments, or if you would like to share your story on this podcast [email protected] If you would like to financially support this podcast you can donate here https://anchor.fm/co-parentingrollercoaster/support
