The Way of Freedom workbook
423 NEXT

The Way of Freedom: Curriculum Launch + Workbook

Freedom is possible. And it begins with Jesus.
(This is the companion workbook to The Way of Freedom Video Curriculum by 423 Next)

The Way of Freedom is a 10-week journey designed to help students find healing and freedom from unwanted sexual behavior through the way of Jesus. Grounded in Scripture and informed by interpersonal neurobiology and clinical recovery, this workbook serves as a companion guide for participants in 423 Next Communities. This journey is not about behavior management or shame-based accountability. It is about learning to walk in the light, receive God’s love, and be transformed from the inside out.

SAST assessment
New Resource

SAST Assessment

A clinically informed screening tool adapted from the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST), this assessment helps individuals gain clarity around their patterns, risk factors, and current level of struggle. Rather than labeling or shaming, it provides a structured framework to better understand where someone may fall on the spectrum of compulsive sexual behavior.

The goal is awareness and wise next steps—helping individuals determine whether additional support, community, or professional care may be needed as they pursue healing.
