Discover God’s Healing

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?
  • When you, your family members, or friends are grieving over one of life’s many losses, where can you turn for help?

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

God’s Healing for Life’s Losses, equips you to journey through eight scriptural stages in your response to life’s losses—helping you to find hope when you’re hurting. Dr. Bob Kellemen will 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 Executive Director of the Center for Church Equipping for the Association of Biblical Counselors, as the Launch Director for the Biblical Counseling Coalition, and as 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. 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 GriefShare

“You’ll find that Bob has the unique ability to comfort you with biblical truth without trivializing your pain. To help you reinterpret your grief experiences in ways that make you more aware of God’s active role in your healing. And to help you discover how to experience deep healing and lasting peace in a world of suffering and pain.” (Steve Grissom, Founder, GriefShare)

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.”

*Be empowered by the founding fathers of the African American church about how to be a godly male leader.

*Be equipped by the heroic sisters of the spirit of the African American church to be a powerful female spiritual friend.

*Be enriched by past African American husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers 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 by identifying with past African American believers.

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

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

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

“Dr. Kellemen’s work shows us how the pain experienced by people from the African American culture can be redeemed to give life to people from any race or culture. The captivating true stories and first-hand narratives have a therapeutic and healing quality. After you engage Beyond the Suffering, you will have a deeper understanding of how God forged character in people through their suffering and be able to apply many valuable insights to your personal life and future ministry.”
