Unchained: Living Free in a World of Financial Stress
Find freedom from the pressure of money and discover the peace of a life centered on God.
Money promises freedom but often delivers the opposite. We work harder, spend more, and still feel anxious, burdened, or unsatisfied. This January at Chapel Hill, we’re walking through a four-week series called Unchained, exploring Jesus’ way of handling money so we can move from stress to trust, from debt to wisdom, and from fear to joyful generosity.
Whether you feel like you never have enough, or you simply feel weighed down by financial pressure, this series is for you.
About the Series
Dates:
January 4–January 25, 2026
What We’re Exploring:
Across four weeks, we will look at what Scripture says about money, contentment, and trust in God:
- Free from the More Mentality (Luke 12:15–21)
- Free from Worry (Matthew 6:19–34)
- Free from Debt (Matthew 6:33; Proverbs 21:20; 1 Timothy 6:6–10)
- Free to Be Generous (2 Corinthians 8:1–9)
This series is designed to meet you right where you are, speak honestly to financial stress, and help you take practical next steps toward freedom in Christ.
About the Unchained Devotional Workbook
To help you engage more deeply with the Unchained series, we’ve created the Unchained Devotional Workbook, a four-week “winter workbook” that walks hand-in-hand with each Sunday message. Inside, you’ll find daily reflections, journaling prompts, practical steps, and LifeGroup questions designed to help you connect God’s Word to your everyday life.
Our hope is that this workbook becomes more than pages you read. It is meant to be a companion for your spiritual journey—whether you use it on your own, with your spouse or family, or in your LifeGroup.
What’s Inside:
- Daily scripture readings connected to each week’s theme
- Short reflections to help you process what God is saying
- Journaling prompts and guided questions
- Practical exercises for your financial life
- LifeGroup discussion questions for deeper conversation
How To Use It:
Use the workbook on your own during the week, bring it to LifeGroup, and revisit it with your family around the table. Move at a gentle pace. Be honest with God. Ask the Holy Spirit to reshape your view of money, security, and generosity.
