Free Small Group Study Lesson by Tom Monson
In 1992, my world was completely shattered. Within a brief six-month window, a relentless wave of heartbreak took my mother, my son, and the love of my life. The emotional devastation was so profound that for the next eight years, I was deeply angry at God. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with Him or the church.
But God never gave up on me.
My path back to hope didn’t begin with a grand sermon. It started in a living room, sitting with a few honest people who were openly navigating their own doubts, questions, and pain. In that safe space, I experienced real healing and felt the warmth of God’s love in a way I never had before.
That life-changing experience is the reason I created Finding Peace in Difficult Times. I’m not a pastor or a theologian; I’m just a man who walked through deep pain and discovered the healing power of God’s Word when it is shared honestly in community.
To help you or your ministry take that first step toward healing, we are offering the entire first lesson of this faith-based small group study completely free.
A Sneak Preview: Lesson One — God’s Unconditional Love
We purposefully begin this journey with the most vital truth of all: God’s Unconditional Love. When you are dealing with deep grief, loss, or personal failures, it is easy to feel entirely unlovable, carrying a weight of shame that makes you think you’ve pushed God’s love away.
This free sample lesson is designed to break through those lies. Built as a complete, ready-to-use guide for individuals or small groups, it includes:
Core Teaching on Romans 8:38-39: An exploration of the powerful scriptural truth that absolutely nothing—not our failures, doubts, pain, or circumstances—can separate us from the love of God.
Guided Group Discussion: Thoughtful prompts that encourage participants to open up honestly about when they’ve felt most unworthy and how accepting unconditional love can transform their fears and relationships.
Personal Reflection & Application: Quiet space paired with additional readings from Jeremiah, Ephesians, and 1 John to help let this foundational truth sink deeply into your heart.
Step-by-Step Layout: Complete with structured fellowship time, opening and closing prayers, and guidance for post-lesson connection.

Everything else in this 13-week study flows from the foundation of knowing you are loved exactly as you are. The full curriculum goes on to tackle the very real struggles we all face, including anxiety, loneliness, anger, fear, forgiveness, and marriage.
You don’t need to be an expert to lead this. You just need a safe space and a willingness to be honest. Small groups completely transformed my story—and they can change someone else’s, too.
