About the Event
Our Stephen Ministry team is hosting a special class on November 30th (9AM-12PM) to equip us to better serve those who are facing mental health challenges. As Christians, we have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing his love to those who are hurting. While this calling is true for all believers, many of us don't feel qualified or adequately equipped to care in a meaningful and impactful way.
Dr. Josh Kruse will be coming to SDBC to help equip us in caring for people using his Listen, Guide, and Pray Model. Dr. Josh pastored for nearly a decade at Village Church and is a registered psychologist with a passion for helping people help people. We'll look at ways to listen well to better understand what is going on for the person who is struggling. From there, we'll use our understanding of their circumstances to guide them with and towards resources. Then, we'll learn how to apply the gospel and prayer to their situation to help them connect with God and his love, support, comfort, and guidance.
Whether you are a Stephen's Minister, Care Ministry Team member, community group leader, or someone who informally supports others, you will benefit from Dr. Josh's training as you learn to minister better to those that God brings along your path.
This class is offered for free as the Stephen Ministry team is sponsoring this event, and the class is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Please register for the class using the button below.
