Sessions & Speakers
Morning Session Options
Creative Ways to Engage Youth
Engaging with youth can be particularly daunting. This pre-conference session is interactive and practical in nature. It will provide specific tools to grow in wise and creative engagement with youth in a counseling session and beyond. The content will be applicable to counselors, parents, and anyone discipling young people.
Growing in the Fundamentals of Marriage Counseling
Marriage counseling is challenging and unique. If we’re honest, we often feel unqualified and ill-equipped to do it well. But marriage counseling is an essential ministry. This pre-conference session will discuss some of the fundamental understandings and stages of marriage counseling when working with a couple.
Afternoon Session
Disarming Anger
Since anger is so common and so deadly, it certainly deserves our consistent biblical reflection. To that end, this pre-conference session will look at the key biblical material and then focus especially on two questions: What should everyone in our church know about anger? How do you disarm an angry person?
