Individual Sessions/Workshops
Calm Heart in a Rough Sea
Bad things really do happen to good people. And, usually when they least expect it. Money, kids, marriage, job, health. These can be our greatest source of joy or our greatest source of pain. And sometimes, in the same day. As we explore what Jesus told his disciples about staying calm despite unbearable circumstances, you’ll be inspired to:
- Embrace the reality you can’t control your circumstances
- Deepen your relationship with Jesus despite your circumstances
- Replace your fear with peace
Stress LESS Living
Overworked, overcommitted, overlooked, and overwhelmed. Generally, just over it. Does that describe how you feel about your life right now? You’re not alone. This describes a large portion of the population these days. But, it doesn’t have to describe you. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll develop a Personal Action Plan for relieving current stress and preventing it in the future by:
- Understanding how circumstances steal your joy
- Exploring the effects of stress on your mind, body, spirit, and emotions
- Discovering strategies for choosing joy despite your circumstances
Living a Joy-Filled Present After a Pain-Filled Past
We all have baggage. We’ve each lived a life with unique experiences. Some good, some not so good, and some downright horrendous. Whether these experiences came through our own poor choices or the poor choices of others, the consequences of those choices hurt us. The may still be hurting us years later. And there’s no better time than now to change that. In this empowering session, you will:
- Identify how the past is robbing you of your present and your future
- Discover how to live in the present
- Embrace the life of joy Christ died to give you
Faith Beyond Logic
When the doctor says, “I have bad news,” your spouse says, “it’s over,” or the bank says, “we have no choice but to foreclose,” the normal, logical response is to give in to the feelings of defeat. But life with Christ is anything but normal or logical. We all experience moments that test our faith. This inspiring session will help you:
- Be proactive and prepare for storms before they happen
- Prepare for battle with the Armor of God
- Embrace the Fruit of the Spirit
I’m Not Normal, I’m Unique
What’s normal? We have no control over our age, height, physical ability, or skin color? Yet we judge ourselves, and others, on these exact traits. We all decide what’s normal or what’s acceptable based on our own criteria. But we shouldn’t, because we’re each unique. Beautifully unique. In this uplifting session, you’ll:
- Understand & appreciate what makes us unique
- Explore ways to conquer your fear of rejection
- Discover the art of accepting yourself and others
- Train your brain to focus on your positive traits
Holiday Topics
Being Alone Doesn’t Have to be Lonely
Any number of life events can leave us feeling lonely. Maybe you moved away to college or to start a new career. It could be you are recently an empty-nester, divorced or widowed? Change means what used to be normal in our lives isn’t anymore. However, there are things we can do to help combat those feelings of loneliness and create a new normal. This hands-on workshop will provide an opportunity to:
- Understand that change, even when it’s positive, is never easy
- Create a plan for managing your lonely feelings
- Recognize that rebuilding a new normal takes time, energy, and effort
Finding Joy in this World
Protests, riots, nuclear threats, political clashes, and natural disasters are front and center no matter where we turn these days. Add in the stress that comes with the holidays, and you have a recipe for disaster and depression. In this uplifting session you’ll discover:
- Blessings often come disguised as challenges
- Doing less is often more
- You are just what someone wants this Christmas
- Joy is a state of mind, not a state of the union
