Reviving Relationships Through Biblical Hospitality – PART 2

Bonus Webinar! A follow-up to “Reviving Relationships Through Biblical Hospitality”, we’ll be chatting all things The 2-Hour Cocktail Party by Nick Gray. Lori Ryan will be available to answer all of your questions. This different way of hosting might make you question how you’ve hosted your parties in the past but we promise – there really is something exciting and unique that will develop from this way of coming together. Lori writes, “It seems like in this somewhat turbulent moment that in-home hospitality may be the way we evangelize. It somehow facilitates bringing down barriers and people let their guard down.”

PART 2 – a more casual “cocktail webinar” where you will have the opportunity to ask Lori any questions you might have. Maybe you’ve already read the book but need that extra push of encouragement to go for it!

Recording will be posted soon!

(mis)Understanding Mental Health | A Christian Look at Today’s Epidemic

There’s been a lot of focus on mental health in recent years. Current generations are growing up using vocabulary that expresses this reality while older generations aren’t used to discussing something they grew up thinking was taboo. This webinar will be unique in that we will be hearing from licensed professional counselors from Christian Family Solutions. Guided by their insight, we’ll get an overview of what is going on, what we can do, and when and where to get help.

According to the statistics, one out of five adults in the U.S. will experience a mental illness during any given year. This means that if you know more than five people, chances are that you are rubbing shoulders with people experiencing some form of mental illness. As a church, you can expect that roughly 20 percent of your membership is currently experiencing some form of mental illness as well. It also means that if you are suffering with a form of mental illness, you are far from alone! In the webinar, we will explore the following topics:

  • Finding a healthy and God-pleasing balance to self-care. We will learn how we can best help and encourage someone to get the help they need. We will try to lessen the stigma attached to mental illness and replace it with compassion, understanding, and love.
  • Understanding our responsibility as parents to provide for our children in all aspects of life—physically and spiritually. How are we providing for their mental health
  • Looking at depression, which has been referred to as the “common cold of mental health.” If that’s true, why do we feel so isolated, and what can we do about it?

Our prayer is that this webinar will shine a light on and bring awareness to the subject of mental health so that the body of Christ continues to minister to the needs of each other in all areas of life. We encourage you to attend the live webinar, where we’ll provide amazing resources and continue to do fun giveaways to participants.
