Moving On: The Journey Beyond Shame to Live in Righteousness
A companion for walking through Moving On chapter by chapter, in community.
This 9-chapter Small Group Study Guide follows the full arc of Paul T. Barham's Moving On: The Journey Beyond Shame to Live in Righteousness - from the settled fact of forgiveness through the daily work of living free from shame.
Organized into the same three sections as the book itself:
Section I: Profits from Salvation - what actually changed at salvation: sins forgiven and forgotten, a transformed identity with a specific set of new titles in Christ, and the guarantee that salvation cannot be lost.
Section II: The Battle for Our Mind - living in the hope Scripture actually promises, recognizing Satan's real but already-defeated opposition, and the ongoing tension between flesh and Spirit.
Section III: Therapies and Solutions - practical ground: winning the battle in your mind, handling the external pressures and relationships that keep shame alive, and moving forward into everyday freedom.
Every chapter follows the same rhythm: a Key Points section reviewing the chapter's core ideas, ten discussion questions written to open honest conversation rather than invite one-word answers, and a Personal Application section with space to name one concrete change and revisit it at the next session.
This is a write-in guide, not a workbook to read passively. Every discussion page includes ruled space for notes and answers. Facilitator notes throughout flag chapters that touch on sensitive ground - addiction, marriage separation, active shame - so leaders can hold those conversations with care rather than rushing past them. A closing appendix collects twenty-two Scripture-grounded affirmations on identity in Christ, formatted to copy, print, or post as a daily reminder.
Whether you're leading a group for the first time or you've led dozens, this guide gives you the structure to talk honestly about shame and forgiveness - not just cover the material.
NASB-grounded throughout, matching the theology and Scripture translation of the companion book.
