Repentance and Dependence: Understanding the questions we need answered every day.
Join us for this Spiritual Direction Continuing Education Course!
What question is your soul asking today? And what about the soul of your directee?
Every morning, we wake up asking for our core needs to be met, and yet most of us are unaware that we’re asking. Our needs are different depending on our history, personality and patterns of sin, and if ignored they will drive us to extremely unhealthy places.
In this course we’ll explore the most common questions our souls ask and learn how God lovingly invites us to acknowledge these needs so we can repent of sin and grow in dependence on him. The goal is to begin each day in repentance and dependence on Jesus, who answers all of our questions by saying that we are His beloved child.
As a spiritual director, you will benefit by learning to recognize and repent of your own issues, growing in freedom and dependence on God. Along the way, you will be equipped with compassion and wisdom to better accompany directees who have different needs than your own.
A live, 2.5 hour continuing education course for spiritual directors.
- Learn to recognize the hidden questions your directees’ souls ask every day, and how to help them repent and and depend on Christ more deeply.
- Immediately practical: Insights and paradigm shifts that will improve your practice right away.
- Built-in practice: Our courses always include guided practicums so you can try out what you've learned and receive live feedback from the instructor.
- Compassionate & collegiate: We combine teaching with group conversation. Plan to have your camera on and be part of a warm, interactive discussion. The group is kept small so we can have a meaningful conversation and you can feel seen and heard.
- Flexible access: Can't make the live session? All registrants will receive a link to the workshop recording, available to watch for a limited time after the live event.
- Follow-up support: Instructors provide personalized feedback on post-course reflection papers and are accessible for questions and conversation.
