Description

This course is designed to train people how to understand a person’s narrative from a Christian perspective. We will learn how to use genograms to give insight into themes of inner stories. We will define five aspects of a person’s life, including the idea of narrative, past messages and tapestry of the family system. We will examine five principles of self-awareness such as understanding our emotional language, the power of wounds, tender spots, and triggers. Lastly, we will learn how to live as a self-aware person with special attention to being in the helping profession. In essence, we will learn how to connect the dots of one’s inner world. This course is designed for anyone who is in a leadership role, mental health, or in pastoral ministry.

Description: This seminar will provide introductory knowledge of drug addiction from a Christian perspective of creation, fall, and redemption. We will connect the spiritual understanding of Biblical idolatry to the symptoms of addiction. We will explore principles of working with addicted families including relational roles, boundaries, communication and strategies of prevention. Lastly, we will explore our own personal stories if we have been affected by the addicted family. My hope is that participants will journey through and know the redeeming power of the gospel story in their personal stories.
