Life’s 7 Ultimate Questions

In ministry, when real people ask you real life questions, where do you turn for ultimate answers?

During my next How to Care Like Christ seminar (see below for details), we’ll explore how to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth.

We’ll discover scriptural answers to life’s seven ultimate questions:

1. What is truth? Where do I find answers? (The Written Word—The Bible)

2. Who is God? Can I know Him personally? (The Living Word—The Trinity)

3. Who am I? What makes people tick? (Creation—Understanding People)

4. What went wrong? Why do we do the things we do? (Fall—Diagnosing Problems)

5. Can people change? How do people change? (Redemption—Prescribing God’s SOUL-utions)

6. What’s my purpose? What’s my destiny? (Consummation—Eternity)

7. How can I help? How can I change lives? (Sanctification—Biblical Counseling)

Learn How to Change Lives

Equipping Lay People, Pastors, and Christian Counselors

As a lay person, what do you do after the hug? A friend shares a personal struggle, you hug, or, if you’re a guy, you grunt and say, “I’ll pray for ya’ man.” Now what? How do you help?

As a pastor, how do you speak the truth in love? When parishioners share deep struggles, how do you discern root causes, care deeply, and wisely share robust biblical counsel?

As a professional Christian counselor, how do you move beyond being a Christian who counsels to offering Christian counseling? How do you move beyond solution-focused-therapy to SOUL-u-tion-focused-Christian-counseling?

How to Care Like Christ

If you’re a lay person, a pastor, or a professional Christian counselor, learn how to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. Learn what to do after the hug by learning how to care like Christ.

For lay people, this seminar helps you to help your friends.

For pastors, this seminar is the remedy for “Take two verses and call me in the morning.”

For Christian counselors, this seminar is the remedy for secular psychology.

Join me on April 24, 2010, from 9 AM to 12:30 PM at First Assembly of God Church, 1400 W. Washington Center Rd., Fort Wayne, IN.

In this interactive training seminar, you’ll learn how to use God’s Word to develop a Christ-centered, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally-informed biblical model of counseling that truly values the sufficiency and relevancy of Scripture. You will be able to:

• Find God’s Answers to Life’s Seven Ultimate Questions: Learn how to relate Christ’s changeless truth to our changing times.

• Understand People Biblically: Discover how God designed us to live, love, and relate—who are we?

• Diagnose Problems Scripturally: Uncover why we do the things we do—what went wrong?

• Prescribe God’s Solutions Effectively: Apply Christ’s answers for our daily life issues—how do people change?

• CEU’s Available: 4.5 CE Hours have been approved.
