Welcome

Surrender • A Group Experience

This workbook belongs to you.

You may write as much or as little as you choose. You will never be required to show anyone what you have written. Some parts may become words you share with the group. Other parts may remain private conversations between you and God.

You do not have to arrive with every answer. You do not have to force an emotional response. You do not have to pretend that every difficult place can be resolved during one gathering.

Simply come willing to listen, to be honest before God, and to take the next faithful step He places before you.

God already knows your story, and He loves you completely.

Permission is granted to leaders to print participant copies for use within their own church, family, small group, conference, workshop, retreat, or ministry setting. Each participant may keep and use their personal copy. This workbook may not be sold, altered, or redistributed as a separate commercial resource without written permission from Kristal Walden.

Scripture quotations marked KJV are from the King James Version, which is in the public domain.

Before We Begin

Confidentiality helps create trust, but safety matters too. Please do not repeat another person’s story outside the group. Understand that leaders may need to seek additional help when someone may be in danger or when a safety concern cannot remain private.

You choose what you share. You may pass during a discussion, pray quietly, or ask for space. Forgiveness, reconciliation, trust, and access are not the same thing. You will not be asked to return to an unsafe situation, accept unwanted touch, or make a public disclosure.

Pastoral support, counseling, medical care, and emergency help can all be faithful parts of healing. Asking for help is not failure.
