Class 201
Desperate Dependency Class
Do you feel like something is missing in your life?
Do you have problems and issues that don’t seem to have a solution?
Have people, positions, and possessions disappointed you?
Do you feel like you are floundering in your relationship with Christ?
Or perhaps you have no relationship with Christ.
Desperate Dependency Class 201 invites you to find Christ as the relevant solution to all your issues so that you may experience His love, joy, and peace.
Why Desperate Dependency?
What difference is there in your life because you say you are a Christian? Have you realized that you cannot successfully live independently from Jesus? Have you discovered His divine enablement that produces personal empowerment?
Christ longs to be relevant to every area of your life. Will you let Him? Will you be desperately dependent?
When you look around—and perhaps even within—it’s easy to find desperation. People chase all kinds of creative solutions, hoping to find satisfaction and fill the void in their hearts. Sadly, even Christians often fail to recognize God’s design for a relationship that is desperately dependent on Jesus.
Our heavenly Father created us to live in full dependence on His Son. Only when we embrace this relationship can we experience the satisfaction, stability, and spiritual transformation that our hearts long for.

Jennifer
Thanks to my amazing God and His work in my life through the process of Desperate Dependency, I was able to trust in His sovereignty and His plan. My entire way of thinking about God and who He is has been changed.
Mindy
I have read certain parts of Desperate Dependency multiple times. The book gave me a different perspective on my relationship with God. For most of my life, I struggled and fought so hard to control things without understanding that I am in control of NOTHING. Reading this book and coming to the understanding of how truly desperately dependent I am on God has been life-changing.
