HEART PHYSICS
Discovering Gods true nature and heart for us.
Introduction
This workbook is designed to help you deepen your understanding of who God truly is, moving beyond a contractual view of faith to a relational one. Over the next 30 minutes, you will engage with Scripture, reflect on your relationship with God, and take action steps to strengthen your faith.

3. Action Points (10 minutes)
