The length can vary depending on your group. Be sure to check with your facilitator for your group’s specific schedule and make sure you won’t miss more than two lessons during Part 1 of the process.

Many Christian resources lead us to try to change our behavior or circumstances without addressing the root causes. Untying the Knots of the Heart is a dynamic, interactive process that helps people address the source of their sin and struggles, rather than offering a “band-aid” or quick fix. 

We all know that information alone doesn’t change us. UTK takes the life-changing truths of the gospel and helps participants identify the areas in which the gospel is not being fully integrated or lived out in their lives. 

Untying the Knots of the Heart is not:

1. Your everyday small group curriculum or Bible study 
   • It’s a dynamic and interactive process, where participants learn to unpack who they are in light of who Christ is.
2. Taught like a class
   • UTK is not just another source of information. Using interactive learning techniques, UTK is a unique journey where both facilitator and participants can process, learn from each other, and experience healing.
3. Group therapy or counseling
   • It’s a discipleship process that can have similar outcomes

The cost varies by church.  Scholarships are joyfully available for those with financial need. Your facilitator will be happy to provide more details.

Untying the Knots of the Heart is for everyone. God has used UTK to transform the lives of those struggling with substance abuse or depression, as well those who seem to “have it all together” and have been serving as pastors or missionaries for 20+ years.

All of us as Christians deal with inner life issues and difficulties at different times in our lives. UTK may be a good resource for anyone that might identify with something on the list below:

• Relational problems, depression/sadness, anxiety, sexual sin/brokenness, disappointment, conflict, grief or loss, emptiness, divorce or marriage issues, past abuse, addictions, difficulty forgiving self or regrets, emotional turmoil or numbness, anger or temper, disordered eating, or past hurts — to name a few.

The pre-group meeting is an important step to help your facilitator get to know you and ensure Untying the Knots of the Heart is the right fit for you in this season. It’s a chance for you to ask any questions, learn more about what to expect, and understand the commitment involved. This meeting is designed to help you feel confident and ready to fully engage with the group process.
