Biblical Grief Seminar

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

God’s Healing for Life’s Losses
How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting

A Half-Day or Full-Day Seminar on Grieving and Growing

Have you experienced a loss and do you long to find God’s hope in your grief?

Do you desire to minister God’s healing to your grieving friends?

Then discover God’s healing for life’s losses.

Dr. Bob Kellemen, in God’s Healing for Life’s Losses, equips you to apply eight scriptural stages in your response to life’s losses—helping you to find hope when you’re hurting. Bob will also empower you to minister healing hope to others so that they can face suffering face-to-face with God.

Presented by Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., LCPC

Bob is a nationally-known speaker, author, consultant, educator, pastor, and counselor. He’s the author of Beyond the Suffering, Soul Physicians, Spiritual Friends, Sacred Friendships, and God’s Healing for Life’s Losses. He has equipped thousands of lay people, pastors, and counselors as Chairman of the Master of Arts in Christian Counseling and Discipleship Department (Capital Bible Seminary), as Director of the Biblical Counseling and Spiritual Formation Network, and as Founder/CEO of RPM Ministries.

Attend and You Will Learn How To:

*Apply to your life a four-stage biblical model of facing life’s losses with courageous honesty.

*Apply to your life a four-stage biblical model of finding healing hope by finding God.

*Apply proven biblical principles to help hurting people to move through the biblical stages of hurting and grieving: candor, complaint, cry, and comfort.

*Apply proven biblical principles to help hurting people to move through the biblical stages of hope and growth: waiting, wailing, weaving, and worshipping.

*Practice skillfully the biblical counseling and soul care arts of sustaining and healing.

*Build healing communities where Christians find courage and comfort in God and each other.

Christ-Centered, Comprehensive, Compassionate, Culturally-Informed Biblical Grief Counseling

*Experience personal healing and biblical hope.

*Encounter God in the midst of your suffering.

*Empathize with hurting people more compassionately.

*Encourage suffering people more competently.

*Empower your congregation to become a “hospital for the hurting.”

God’s Healing for Life’s Losses Seminar Schedule

Session One: Launching the Journey of Grief: Honesty with Yourself and with God—Candor and Complaint

Session Two: Inviting God to Join Your Journey: Finding God Even When You Can’t Find Answers—Cry and Comfort

Session Three: Deepening Your Journey During the Dark Night of the Soul: On the Road to Hope—Waiting and Wailing

Session Four: Traveling with God on the Journey of Faith: Joining the Larger Story—Weaving and Worshipping

Endorsed by Pastor Steve Viars

Here are three reasons why I heartily and joyfully encourage you to learn from God’s Healing for Life’s Losses. It courageously faces the hard questions. You are probably fed up with pat answers and pious platitudes. Plastic smiles do not work, not when you are suffering. Bob writes with the seasoned wisdom of a winsome counselor who has spent many hours compassionately listening to people whose hearts are breaking. It skillfully takes you to God’s Word. Listening is wonderful but it is seldom enough. Bob is a careful student of the Bible. He believes that the living God has direction and answers for every hurting person who will humbly come to Him (Matthew 11:29). I went to college and seminary with Bob—I know that he is a diligent and accomplished student and scholar. Yet this book does not read like a distant theological treatise. It is more like a wise conversation with a spiritual friend. It passionately points you to the Savior. The Bible is less like an encyclopedia and more like a novel. Bob’s goal is not to give us a few verses that we simply memorize and recite when times get rough. He is inviting us to use suffering as an opportunity to grow more in love with the One who suffered supremely for us. That is why there is hope for life’s losses.

Sacred Friendships Seminar

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Sacred Friendships Seminar
Celebrating the Legacy of Women Heroes of the Faith

A One Day Seminar Presented by
Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., LCPC, and Susan Ellis, MA

Do you long to learn from godly women of the faith

how to be a powerful spiritual friend?

Far too often we build our models of ministry by ignoring half of the Christian world—women. Sacred Friendships gives voice to the voiceless by celebrating the legacy of Christian women, and by helping all Christians—men and women—to learn from their examples how to be powerful spiritual friends.

Bob and Susan

Bob is a nationally-known speaker, writer, consultant, educator, pastor, and counselor. He’s the author of Beyond the Suffering, Soul Physicians, Spiritual Friends, Sacred Friendships, and God’s Healing for Life’s Losses. He has equipped thousands of lay people, pastors, and counselors as Chairman of the Master of Arts in Christian Counseling and Discipleship Department (Capital Bible Seminary), as Director of the Biblical Counseling and Spiritual Formation Network, and as Founder/CEO of RPM Ministries.
Susan is the co-author of Sacred Friendships and an adjunct professor and female mentor in the MA in Christian Counseling and Discipleship (MACCD) Department, Capital Bible Seminary. She has mentored hundreds of women in church, para-church, and educational settings.

At the Seminar, Men and Women Will:
*Be empowered by the heroic sisters of the Spirit to be powerful spiritual friends.

*Be enriched by past wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters concerning how to nurture and enjoy godly living in the home.

*Be enlightened to apply proven ways to help people find healing hope in the midst of deep pain.

*Be enabled to minister more effectively in cross-cultural settings by uncovering the buried treasure of wisdom contained in the legacy of women soul care-givers and spiritual directors.

*Be encouraged to skillfully practice the historic soul care and spiritual direction arts of sustaining, healing, reconciling, and guiding.

*Be equipped to build healing communities where Christians find courage and comfort in God and each other.

Endorsed by Julie Clinton
“Dr. Bob Kellemen and Susan Ellis, in their compelling seminar, Sacred Friendships, provide a voice for the voiceless. Like never before, they tell ‘her story’—the story of our great female forbears in the faith. As we listen, we do not simply learn historical facts; we are empowered and equipped to practice soul care and spiritual direction today. Lay people—male and female, students, Christian counselors, pastors, and spiritual directors will all glean a wealth of life-changing ministry principles from the unburied treasure of historic feminine soul care and spiritual direction.”
