Do the emotions of anxiety, depression, anger, or grief ever interfere with your ability to enjoy life, relate to others, or be productive in your daily tasks? Do you have friends who come to you seeking guidance in these areas? Do you struggle to live consistently with the confidence and security that your identity in Christ ought to provide? Do you want to be able to communicate more clearly the difference Christ can make for the way we navigate difficult emotional experiences?
If you answer “yes” to one or more of these questions, then the Spring 2015 intensive on a Christian approach to difficult emotions would be an excellent experience for you. This series of seminars will be held March 2-6.
