SESSIONS

Track Session 1: Knowing Your Lane and Your Call as You Disciple Hurting People
It is vitally important that you know who God has called you to be as you disciple people who are hurting and struggling. But it is just as important that you know what you are not called to be! In this session we will dive into the important characteristics of an “ambassador of freedom,” understanding your role in other people’s lives (as opposed to God’s role in their lives), knowing who you can help and who you cannot help (yet), and having a firm grasp on when outside support is needed.

Track Session 3: Principles for Effectively Ministering to Hurting People
Discipling someone who is hurting is much more complex than just helping them fix their eternal issues/struggles. We’re called to help others discover the root causes to their struggles and to disciple them into a relationship with Jesus where He can bring healing and transformation at a root level in their lives. In this session, we will unpack the concept of the “why” behind people’s “what.” We will also dive into the importance of understanding the source of people’s pain, how Jesus responded to hurting people, and how to love someone who is struggling well (including key principles of listening and responding to them).
Time: Thursday, 11:00am – 12:00pm
Location: Room 207 C
Speakers: Melanie Wise and Marshall Gallagher

Track Session 4: Safeguarding Yourself as You Disciple Others
It is vitally important for you to establish safeguards for yourself when discipling hurting people, because your best gift to others is a healthy you! In this session, we will discuss very practical safeguards that you can build into your life to ensure that you are as healthy as you can be for the people that you are discipling.
Time: Thursday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Location: Room 207 C
