Tom Griffin – Speaking the Bible
You want to know and understand the Bible better. Now imagine that you could speak a passage of the Bible from memory, not just a single verse or two, but something substantial. You can do it. In this seminar you will learn a process to enrich yourself with Scripture, understanding a passage well enough to speak it from memory. This seminar is an accelerated version of a brand-new Bible study called Speaking the Bible. Using this process, you will be ready to not only recite a passage of Scripture yourself but also to lead others to do so.

Alan Moos – Emotional Health Peer Groups for Dummies
Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Isolation . . . Hurting people in our communities and churches hide their pain due to shame and cultural taboos. What can we do to help without trained counselors? We can share the compassion of Christ through empathy and honesty; and shine the light of love and Gospel truth into their darkness. Our church has partnered with Anchor International to lead emotional health peer groups. Through these groups we have shared the Gospel and have seen church members and non-members openly share their secret struggles and find new hope in Christ.
