Emotionally Focused
Developing habits of obedience that lead to a fully human,
fully alive life is a life-long journey
The Emotionally Focused ministry exists to provide you with support and guidance on that journey. Emotionally Focused is a process that leads participants to take steps toward an integrated, missional life by developing awareness of the obstacles to such a life—personal and cultural— and overcoming them by practicing growing authenticity with oneself, with God and with others in community. The missional life is a life of joy, passion and purpose that when lived well, empowers you to join God in God’s mission of reconciliation and restoration. An integrated missional life is one in which your life joins God in God’s mission of reconciliation, expressed in all areas of your life—where you live, work and play. All formation for the sake of mission.
Emotionally Focused: Foundation intensive
The Emotionally Focused: Foundation Intensive is a two-day experience that helps us dive into our journey of personal transformation. Sometimes we don't understand why we struggle to show up and be the authentic person that God wants us to be in our family and day to day relationships. Emotionally Focused helps us look at times and places in our lives that have shaped us and still affect us years later. As we grow in self-awareness we can learn to turn off some of the automatic responses that lead to fear, anger, habitual sin, anxiety, and so much more. Learning that we've developed self-protection as a way to feel safe in so many situations, allows us the opportunity to trust God more. Believing who he says we are made to be and receiving his love and acceptance changes us forever to become a calm peaceful presence in all our interactions. Join us for Emotionally Focused: Foundation to begin your transformation journey of a lifetime!
