RACE LITERACY 101

What is race? In this seminar, you will learn about some history of racial ideology and how it has been used as a tool of oppression and to divide the Body of Christ as well as learning scripture to better understand discipleship and how it relates to anti-racism.

Wounded LeaderSHIP

Distancing, disappointments, disruptions, desperation, discrimination, and devastation - these are not buzzwords but the painful realities of not just our personal lives but also of our families, churches, neighbourhoods, society, and the world. With looming uncertainties, how do we find hope to continue? The option is not more Christian band-aid, self-congratulations, and positive thinking but lament. Join our Wounded Leadership seminar and learn how biblical lament can keep us soft, sustain our journey, and lead us into the arms of God.

The language of lament

It’s been normalised that in order to be living a good life, we must be experiencing and expressing joy. In this seminar, I will be talking through lament as part of this good life. Our relationship with God and others is heightened when we understand lament. We’ll spend some time practicing this new language together.
