The Beholding Workbook
$11.99
Most of us have at least one relationship that ties us in emotional knots. When relationships get hard, many of us tell ourselves a story about the other person: They always do this. They’ll never change. There’s no point in trying.
The Beholding Workbook is a 56-page guide designed to help you practice beholding — an attentive, loving way of noticing another person — in one specific relationship.
- Cultivate renewed hope for exhausting relationships
- Move beyond reactive patterns in tense conversations
- Learn practical ways to approach conflict with curiosity and wisdom
Is this workbook for you?
The Beholding Workbook is for anyone navigating a relationship that feels tense, complicated, or difficult to move forward.
It’s for individuals or groups, especially those facing:
- family tension
- strained friendships
- workplace conflict
- ongoing conflict or repeated tension
- relationships that feel stuck or painful
How will this workbook actually help?
We’re called to love one another, but let’s be honest: some relationships make that feel nearly impossible. Knowing where to even start can feel overwhelming.
Here are some of the practical ways this workbook will help you take steps forward:
- Explore your story — Uncover the assumptions shaping how you see this person, and why they might be keeping you stuck.
- Find your footing in God’s love — Use Scripture and prayer to respond from a place of peace instead of fear or frustration.
- Learn the value of curiosity — Practice ways to stay open, even when conversations get tense.
- Take one wise next step — Get clear on what a faithful next step looks like, knowing your limits and trusting God.
