Modules
In this module, we appreciate the link between our spiritual life and our emotional life. We discern how the evil one is set against us and what Jesus means when he invites us to live in freedom every day.
FOUNDATIONAL RETREAT at Green Lake Conference Center in October. Spouses are encouraged to attend. Everything except transportation and lodging costs is provided for participants.

Emotionally Healthy Discipleship by Peter Scazzero
2 ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER MEETINGS
Jesus taught us to pray, “Let your kingdom come!” In this module, we look further into our disciplines or practices that get in the way of us “letting go of our kingdom,” so we can “let God’s kingdom come.”
Since the original “fall into sin”, we spend an inordinate amount of energy covering up our shame, hiding our weaknesses, or proving we are okay. Rather than avoiding shame, Jesus invites us into grace and truth and emphasizes the importance of creating space for God to work in our life.

The centerpiece for the next two modules is MissionBuilder TM, a process that helps people explore their personal story, uncover their core values, define their purpose, and articulate their personal mission.
By exploring our Story, we can bring to light the Story themes – both conscious and subconscious – that impact our personal and professional life. The insights we gain from exploring our Story and our passion will give deeper clarity to what shapes our values and purpose. We also explore the purpose and mission God intends for each of us.

Matthew 28:19 – Go, therefore, and make disciples…
The framework of Christian ministry is based on Jesus’ Great Commission to “go and make disciples.” We will learn how Jesus spent three years modeling how to actually “make disciples.” We will break down the nuances of discipleship: WHO is a disciple, WHAT a disciple does, and HOW a disciple makes disciples.
We’ll also see that the New Testament and Christian history provide principles in disciple-making that can apply to people no matter their stage in life, their personality, their talents, etc.
