Summary
If God’s purpose for ministry leaders and coaches is to help church members and clients actually “become conformed to the Image of His Son,” then what might that actually look like? What might it mean to “grow in Christ” and become “mature Christ-followers”? How might sanctification impact moods, behaviors and thought patterns and not just opinions? What might true Christlikeness look like in emotional, relational, mental and spiritual lives? Starting with a sound biblical & theological foundation, this workshop will focus on specific and practical ways that Emotional & Relational Intelligence (ERI) and recent developments in Neurobiology can help participants more effectively and practically impact their congregations and clients in the process of looking, living, listening and loving more like Jesus Christ and better fulfill the clarion call of Christ in John 13:34-35.
