After teaching the NLBI lesson, "As a Man Thinks," we asked the class to indicate the impact of the lessons on their lives.
A leading woman in the congregation said that she has been a Christian for many years and the lessons helped her realize that some of her actions in the past did not advance the kingdom. The lessons on anger were helpful to prevent knee jerk reactions and to learn that we can control our reactions by having the mind of Christ. She has started teaching the NLBI lesson "A Sense of Self" to teenage girls in the congregation.
A young woman, who has health issues, and her husband, who is in remission from cancer, said that she was not in a good place when starting the course. She said that the lessons have helped her to know her place and that God cares for her. It has also helped her deal with her anger and improved her marriage.
The others spoke about gaining greater self-worth and understanding of how to deal with anger.
