It's enough of a challenge to be a healthy leader and a whole new level of challenge to build healthy leaders and make healthy disciples. But what are the consequences if we don't? The church may flourish in our season of leadership but what about the next? Jesus prepare his disciples before handing them the baton to run the next lap. We can learn from him how to do the same. This seminar will give you effective tools for establishing both the goal and process for building healthy leaders and making healthy disciples in your church or ministry.

In running the race of faith, does it seem like someone keeps moving the finish line? If so you might be weighed down with shame. The concept of shame is thoroughly rooted in Scripture but somehow shame has managed to fly under the radar, all the while sabotaging marriages and ministries. In this seminar we'll get a bead on shame and share ways to tap into the joy of the Lord who is our strength.

We have heard that God is "Immanuel" but we are not always aware the he is with us every moment of our life as the name implies. The Immanuel prayer approach helps us connect to God in very tangible ways and removes the barriers that keep us from benefiting fully from all that God has given. It's a safe, simple, fruitful way to help people get face to face with God and let him do a deep work in our heart - pouring out love, joy, and truth.

Immanuel Prayer is also one of the most effective ways we have encountered to help connect people with Christ's healing power in those painful and broken areas of their lives. Robert Walter, Danny Mullins, and Sharon Franta are all excellent trainers and coaches in the ministry of Immanuel Prayer. They offer individual prayer appointments as well as training seminars.

One way to live God's love out loud is by sharing and letting others into the profound and powerful parts of our stories. In this seminar, Sharon Franta or Heidi McClure can help us identify slices of our live and understand the significant impact our testimonies can have on the lives of others. In addition to their teaching, Sharon and Heidi provide an opportunity to practice writing and sharing our stories with one another. Participants will begin to see how their stories are not only a means of sharing wisdom and blessing with others, they are in fact spiritual legacies that we can leave along the way.

"Spiritual direction is a prayer process in which a person seeking help in cultivating a deeper personal relationship with God meets with another for prayer and conversation that is focused on increasing the awareness of God in the midst of life experiences and facilitating surrender to God's will" (David Benner, Sacred Companions). In spiritual direction we seek to become aware of the often-unnoticed movements of the Spirit in our life. A spiritual director is someone trained to listen and watch for those movements in a fellow traveler. Danny Mullins offers training and coaching in the ministry of Spiritual Direction, and serves as a spiritual director for others. Appointments are available in person, by phone, or via Skype.

According to Paul's admonition in the book of Romans, we have been destined to be conformed to the image of Christ. That is not something reserved for the next life, but is God's desire for us now. But how does this happen? If church attendance, Bible reading, Christian service, and financial giving, as biblical as they are, could accomplish that purpose many of us would look and act more like Jesus than we currently do.

Spiritual formation is the teaching of tried and true practices that have for centuries been key in creating space for God in our daily walk within which He transforms our lives through His Spirit. In this seminar participants are taught how to create a rhythm of life that leads to an ever-increasing Christlikeness.
