This workshop is about a journey with the Lord as we welcome Him into our lives in a deeper way. I believe God is reaching for our hearts so that we can be conformed and transformed into the image and character of Christ. This class is designed to instruct, bring healing, and ultimately turn our hearts to Father God.

In Christ our spirit man has become a new creation, however our mind, will, and emotions do not always agree with our salvation experience. When we walk in our salvation the opportunity for glorious, wonderful works and revelation are continuously available to us. Jesus came so that we would have life and have it more abundantly. His main goal was to restore us to a relationship with Father God. It is important to understand that life in Christ is not pain-free. Trails, temptations, and tribulations are part of spreading the salvation message to all parts of the earth. Proverbs 4:23 reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flows the springs of life." In this course, we want to discover some of these "springs of Life".

This workshop is about what happens to an individual who are been deeply wounded and rejected. Charles Solomon, a Christian author, reports that 98% of Christians have their identity in the roots and fruit of rejection and woundedness.

Rejection is the most common wound we all experience. We will discuss the origins of our rejection and how healing comes from the cross of Jesus Christ. Bob Sorge said, "The Cross is God's balancing stick, if you are not sure that a certain teaching emphasis is properly balanced, examine it through the lens of the Cross. The Cross is the surest antidote to theological weirdness. All healing must come by the way of the Cross."

This workshop will help bring clarity and understanding to the term "codependency" and how it affects so many lives. The term originated in the 1970s to describe a spiritual, emotional, and psychological syndrome that was first identified among family members of chemical dependents. It has been said that the chemically dependent person directly affects 4 to 6 people in their life. This mostly takes place in family units but can and most often broaden into our aspects of life like their employment, church life, personal friends, and standing in the community. The circumstance that surrounds codependency is vast and causes significant unresolved hurt, anger, fear, and anxiety.
