People and counselors debate how much responsibility or control people have over the emotional experiences of depression and anxiety.
Are depression and anxiety sin (i.e., the result of misplaced beliefs, wrongly prioritized values, and poor choices) or suffering (i.e., response to hardships and degenerative biology)?
Too often these become either-or, all-or-nothing debates. In these tandem seminars we will look and how the gospel provides guidance and hope to individuals when their emotional experience is the result of suffering and when its rooted in personal responsibility.
In the process of exploring each those in attendance will learn how to “sort their emotional laundry” in order experience the peace and hope God offers for both sin and suffering. Below is the date-time-rsvp information for the two remaining seminars in this series (videos from the first will be available on my site soon).
