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.”

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.
