general sessions

Many of us feel endlessly busy. We see all the needs even as we recognize how often we fall short. Such pressures contribute to our rising levels of stress and anxiety; they affect our relationships, our health, and just about every area of life. So what are we to do? We must begin by realizing we don’t primarily have a time management problem; we have a theological and pastoral problem. In this session, we will consider how a healthy view of God and our limits can be transformative for our lives as we learn to be more comfortable with our genuine humanity.

breakout sessions

Counselors are often marked by our hardest cases. Intractable problems, and situations involving suffering beyond what we could imagine enduring, can leave us sleepless and burdened after a meeting has ended. Encounters with suicide, sexual abuse, and domestic violence come at a cost, and the price can quickly become our own hope and tenderheartedness. In this breakout, Eamon will discuss his experiences working in remote communities in Canada and how God can help us endure in joy and hope in the midst of incredible darkness.
