Enjoy Life Changing Seminars

I also realize that sometimes it is difficult to find a seminar that doesn’t feel like a waste of time, impractical, unbiblical, too academic, boring, or irrelevant.

That’s why I want to introduce you to five seminars that all share the same passion: to provide Christ-centered, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally-informed ministry equipping so you can change lives with Christ’s changeless truth.

Each of these seminars has been field-tested in churches, para-church organizations, and college and graduate school campuses. They are biblical, practical, user-friendly, and interesting.

You will enjoy engaging biblical teaching, creative PowerPoint presentations, stirring vignettes, life-changing interaction, moving personal applications, and relevant ministry implications.

After reading the following summaries, please contact us to discuss attending or hosting an RPM Ministries Equipping Seminar: rpm.ministries@gmail.com or 219-662-8138.

Attend If You Want to Be Empowered and Equipped to:

*Understand people biblically: Discover how God designed us to live, love, and relate.
*Diagnose problems scripturally: Uncover what went wrong–why do we do the things we do?

Do you long to learn from godly women of the faith how to be a powerful spiritual friend? Far too often we build our models of ministry by ignoring half of the Christian world—women. Sacred Friendships gives voice to the voiceless by celebrating the legacy of Christian women, and by helping all Christians—men and women—to learn from their examples how to be powerful spiritual friends.

At the Seminar, Men and Women Will:

*Be empowered by the heroic sisters of the Spirit to be powerful spiritual friends.
*Be enriched by past wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters concerning how to nurture and enjoy godly living in the home.
*Be enlightened to apply proven ways to help people find healing hope in the midst of deep pain.
*Be enabled to minister more effectively in cross-cultural settings by uncovering the buried treasure of wisdom contained in the legacy of women soul care-givers and spiritual directors.
*Be encouraged to skillfully practice the historic soul care and spiritual direction arts of sustaining, healing, reconciling, and guiding.
*Be equipped to build healing communities where Christians find courage and comfort in God and each other.
