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.

Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency: TEAM

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency
A Christ-Centered TEAM Approach

Do you long to relate and minister effectively in our culturally diverse society?

Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency will equip you to develop four core biblical intercultural relational skills.

Be empowered to relate like Christ.

Enjoy engaging PowerPoint presentations, stirring vignettes,
moving personal applications, and intercultural ministry implications.

Facilitated by Dr. Bob Kellemen

Bob is a nationally-known speaker, writer, consultant, educator, pastor, and counselor. He’s the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction, 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.

Our Vision

After successful participation in Cultivating Christlike Intercultural Relational Competency, Christians of all races will be able to implement the TEAM intercultural relational competencies of:

T: Taking another person’s earthly perspective through empathy and culturally-informed listening.

E: Engaging in bridge-building spiritual conversations through focusing on God’s eternal perspective.

A: Abolishing barriers through forgiveness and reconciliation.

M: Making intercultural peace through spiritual renewal.


Our Passion

Cultivating Intercultural Competency is based upon the biblical conviction that God in Christ is moving all of history toward an eternity where “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language” will stand before the Lamb in united worship (Revelation 7:9-10). Our goal is to equip one another to relate now in light of our eternal future so that God is glorified and others are attracted to Christ by our love.
