Our ministries call us to a radical discipleship that involves trust on a very deep level. This living scripture and small group sharing will focus on the obstacles which may prevent us from surrendering fully to the Lord's invitation. Jesus, as leader, served His people at every turn. He met them where they were and walked with them. We cannot serve at a distance because we can only serve what we are willing to touch.
Service is a relationship between equals.
Serving the sacredness of life is the work of the soul and doesn't require a degree or professional license. It separates true leaders from glory seekers. This workshop will present some of the special concerns that you may encounter in your retreat work. What you need to know about ministering to those who have been abused in ritualistic cults and also ministering to those with a history of childhood sexual abuse in the context of retreats. We will also discuss other potential problems that a borderline, histrionic, suicidal or addicted personality may bring to the group dynamic.
