The final Recover Your Good Heart study will be tonight!
The chat starts at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific and goes for about an hour or a little longer. We're using Yahoo Messenger. My id is jsbreeze111. If you'd like to be a part of this study, simply add me as one of your contacts at any time (identifying yourself so I know you're legit. I'll sign on 15 to 30 minutes before the start of each study. When you log on, please 'buzz' me or send me an IM to let me know that you want to be a part of the study, and I'll invite you into the main chat.
After we're done with this study, many of us are thinking that we'll continue to meet online like this and study something else... perhaps a book or a study guide or a book of the Bible. I'll post updates as we decide what we'll be doing.

No Online Study Tonight
Hi all,
I can't remember for sure, but I think last week I had mentioned that the Recover Your Good Heart online study would be on for tonight. However, I hadn't thought of others who were traveling out of Atlanta today, just as I was, and last night we talked about how it would be better to not have the study tonight. So... chapter 10 of the study guide will be discussed next Sunday, and we hope you can be a part of it! I'm very thankful to the book's author, Jim Robbins for having written this book, as well as the study guide that has provided many great thoughts and questions that have been the catalyst for many great discussions!
We've talked about doing something else after we're done with this study. Many who have taken part in this study have really enjoyed the relationship aspect of it. Friendships have been built, and like I said, there have been many great conversations. Others have been part of the chats in a more quiet way, and have told me they've simply enjoyed watching what everyone else has had to say. I think it's wonderful that technology (specifically Yahoo Messenger) has made all of this possible!
As for what we do next, I've thought about doing the Grace Walk Experience and I'm also open to other suggestions. More info to come.

Recover Your Good Heart study, On for Sunday!
A few weeks ago we began doing an online study of Jim Robbins' study guide for his book Recover Your Good Heart. After taking a break last week due to some football game that was going on (!), we'll pick up where we left off a couple of weeks ago. This week we'll be discussing the questions from Chapter 3. If you don't have the book or study guide, that's fine... we've been having some wonderful participation from people who have read the book and from those who haven't. You're more than welcome to join us this week and any week. If you're shy about something like this, no worries! There's no pressure - just come and hang out with us and read along with our Yahoo chat. So far we've had groups ranging from 4 to 10 people at a time.
There are several reasons I wanted to do this study. First off, the book itself contains some really great stuff regarding the new heart/spirit that God has placed in us as new creations in Christ. Also, whether or not people agree on every last detail of all of this, I believe it's a very encouraging thing to build one another up in our true identity in Christ. The study guide contains some great questions and discussion topics that help to spur this type of discussion.

Recover Your Good Heart... Week 3 tomorrow!
For the past couple of Sundays we've been doing an online study of Jim Robbins' study guide for his book Recover Your Good Heart, and we'll continue this week and for several weeks until we get through the ten chapters of the guide. Ten of us were present together last Sunday and the discussion really did move along quite well! You're more than welcome to join us this week and any week. If you're shy about something like this, no worries! Just come and hang out with us and read along with our Yahoo chat.
We'll begin at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, and we'll go for about an hour each Sunday. We're using Yahoo Messenger (it will probably help if everybody's running the latest version).

Recover Your Good Heart... Week 2 tomorrow night!
Last Sunday we began our study of Jim Robbins' study guide for his book Recover Your Good Heart, and we'll continue this week and for several weeks until we get through the ten chapters of the guide. Seven of us were present together on Yahoo Messenger, and we certainly had a lively discussion! You're more than welcome to join us this week and any week. If you're shy about something like this, no worries! Just come and hang out with us and read along with our Yahoo chat.
I did have one issue with not being able to invite an individual into our conference. For some reason, Yahoo Messenger would not give me the option to invite that particular person. I'm pretty sure that if someone's using Messenger on a cell phone, it won't work, but this person said they were using a laptop, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Does anyone happen to know anything about Yahoo Messenger conferencing limitations?

Recover Your Good Heart - online study starts today!
The online study of the book Recover Your Good Heart by author Jim Robbins starts today! All the details, including links to purchase the book and study guide, are here, and I really hope you're able to join in! Although I've made mention of how to get the book and study guide (which I encourage whether or not you take part in the study), you are in no way obliged to have either or both in order to join in. We simply want to be able to build one another up in the goodness and grace of God, and in the new heart/spirit that we have, and these discussions will be based upon the material in the book and study guide.
We'll begin at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, and we'll go for about an hour each Sunday until we get through the study guide. We'll do this using Yahoo Messenger (it will probably help if everybody's running the latest version). My id is jsbreeze111.

When you log on, please send me an IM to let me know that you want to be a part of the study, and I'll invite you into the main chat.
You don't have to "say" anything (type anything) during the chats. You're welcome to just join in so that you can see what everyone else has to say. But in order for this to work, we do need at least some people to chat!
This is something new - I've never done anything like this - so there may be technical issues. We'll play it by ear and see what happens! I'm not the type who is easily flustered if things don't work out in my 'pre-planned' way. We'll do all right, no matter what. ;) Looking forward to some great discussions!

We'll begin at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, and we'll go for about an hour each Sunday until we get through the study guide.

Recover Your Good Heart - online study update
Just over a month ago I posted a review of Jim Robbin's book Recover Your Good Heart and then a few days later I posted links to not only the book, but also to an accompanying Study Guide. I suggested the idea of doing some sort of online study and I received some positive feedback, and now it's time to start putting this in motion. My thought is to try to begin the study on the second Sunday in January - the 11th, and meet online on consecutive Sundays. Perhaps beginning at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, for about an hour. This is all tentative, and is subject to change, but is a rough idea so we can see who this might work for.
The study guide has ten chapters, and my thought is to try to discuss 1 or 2 chapters worth of material every week. That is, each Sunday we can discuss a chapter or two, depending upon how quiet or 'talkative' people are! The format... I think the easiest thing would be to go with Yahoo Messenger. This may change as well, but right now that's what I'm thinking of.
So... who's up for this?! Check out Jim's site to order the book and Study Guide. The Study Guide, by the way, is available in book form OR as a download. I'll post a separate blog after this one that points to Jim's special offer of a free download of the Study Guide when you purchase the book, through December 12th.
