Church on the Couch:  Does the Church Need Therapy?
Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 3:30pm-5:00pm, Towne
Why are so many in our communities struggling with troubled marriages, with addictions, depression, anxiety and disconnected from each other?  Our lack of emotional health and our tendancy to fake it at church sabotages our ability to grow spiritually as a Body.  This seminar will encourage and equip leaders in creating a culture of authenticity, where truth is valued above appearances and theological concepts are practiced in real life rather the simply understood intellectually.
