model for releasing and empowering

your team to generate better
ideas collectively

Birthed from Rest and Sacred
Rhythms -
“What is without periods
of rest, will not endure.”
The great Poet Ovid put it perfectly.
In a world of chaos and busyness,
we often find ourselves overworked,
overwhelmed and over it.
In this session we will unpack
what it looks like to restore
the art of Sabbath and true
rest. There is an inherent,
God-given rhythm to work and
rest. We will look at Jesus’
call to this rhythm and rediscover
the beauty of Sabbath, the wisdom
of its keeping, and the generosity
of God in gifting us with it.

in the City Streets
- We will discuss the biblical
concept of shalom and how its
vision of a just and whole community
should affect our engagement
in the city. Specifically, we
will look at how the truth of
humankind being made in the
image of God should move us
to engage our own poverty, bringing
creativity and prophetic imagination
to broken communities.

in the Second Half of Life (5o

Creativity
in the Second Half of Life (5o
plus) - God’s
essence is creative and transformative,
and so is his model for our
“second half” of
life! His call to “press
on toward the goal for the prize
of the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus” doesn’t
end once we’re 50 and
beyond. Though the world may
say we’re “over
the hill”, in Christ we
are actually just “picking
up steam”! Our second
half holds the promise to provide
even greater beauty, purpose
and contribution. Join us in
this workshop to be inspired
and challenged to:
• Rekindle your passion
for God’s dreams yet to
be lived out in your life
• Explore how your past
experiences, gifts and even
heartaches can be a contribution
• Find the intersection
between the world’s needs
and your unique gifting &
passion
• Spark new energy by
creating a blueprint for an
exciting and spiritually vital
“second act”

Rx for a Radical Marriage
- This lab is a
sampler of the “Marriage
Rx” menu. The series consists
of twelve classes designed to
discover God's idea for marriage.
Topics include: being one-flesh,
covenantal relationships, naked
and unashamed, trust, and others.
This is as much about God's
marriage to His bride the church,
as it is about our marriages.
Learn how yours can be transformed.

Creativity
in Leadership -
It is easy to confuse creativity
with self-expression and leadership
with self- exaltation. I’d
like to explore creativity and
leadership, however, in terms
of the life of God—creativity,
that is, as laboring in attentiveness
to the (deeper) laws of God for
life, and leadership as an extension
of –by subjection to—God’s
Nature and Will to sustain that
life.

Creativity
and God’s Redemptive Purpose
for Our Emotions
-
The fall of man led
to broken relationships–with
God, with others, and within ourselves.
Emotions are the touchstone to our
restoration. Getting in touch with
our feelings and connecting the
dots of our feelings with our faith
is a sacred and redemptive process!
This session will focus on the biblical
basis and creative process of using
practical, right-brain, hands-on
activities to help us and our children
understand our emotions.
We'll learn to process emotions
as part of God's design to fulfill
the call of the Gospel to redeem
and restore relationships, and
reflect the character of God in
a broken-hearted world. |

Creativity
in New Believer Discipleship -
This Lab will focus on the process
of discipling someone who is new
in the faith, or has ‘gaps’
in their belief system, moving
them to grow in their walk with
God and giving them greater understanding
of how they have been shaped by
God to minister in the church
and world. This process is intentional,
Jesus-centered, Bible-based, Heart-directed,
Wholeness-focused, and Life to
Life. The lab will consist of
practical steps in this process:
assessment, the tools needed,
and resources available to use. |
