When the kids leave home, it is a time of transition. It can be sad, but it doesn't have to be devastating. In fact, it can be a time to grow as a person and find new meaning. Perhaps it is your time to thrive as never before. This three-session course will help you think through this season of your life.
Session One
Empty Nest–Full Life
Find God's purpose in every season of life.
Genesis 2:20–24; Psalm 127; Isaiah 43:18–19; John 15:1–17; Philippians 3:12–14
Transitions are never easy, especially when we have no choice in the change. This study will show that while transitions such as an empty nest may be difficult, they need not be devastating.
Session Two
When The Kids Are Gone
Reestablish your relationship with your spouse when the nest is empty.
1 Samuel 1:1–24; Mark 10:6–9; Ephesians 4:29–5:2
Everyone told you this day would come. It seems only yesterday your little one needed you for every task. Your identity was pretty well established as a parent, but with the children gone, who are you now—and who is this person you're living with?
Session Three
Your Time to Soar
When the nest is empty, you get to fly.
Proverbs 3:5–6; Colossians 3:23–24; 2 Timothy 2:1–2; Titus 2:3–5
In America, children often move out at the end of high school. The benefit of this early departure is that the parents still have energy left to expend in another direction; all that remains is to find out where.
