You, Your Kids, and Your Divorce – This primer into the divorce recovery process restores hope and biblical responsibility (and opportunity) for parents by focusing on how divorce impacts each-aged child, but how Christians can overcome the legacy of divorce. Emphasis is placed on the parent’s own emotional recovery and walk with God as the primary tool in helping the child. Mistakes parents commonly make is presented in a humorous, non-threatening way. A “Parent Report Card” and a “Recipe for Successful Parenting” developed by the speaker, along with a reading list, are provided as tools to improve communication between parent and child.

Mastering the Art of Co-Parenting with Your Ex - Perhaps the most difficult area for many following divorce, this seminar offers an unusually high degree of insight and practical tools from someone who’s “been there” and overcame adversity through the help of God’s living word, prayer, and applied psychology. After illustrating the damage conflict brings to children and the far-reaching generational consequences, help is given to confront negative thinking that keeps participants stuck in conflictual relationship patterns with an emotionally challenging ex-spouse. Scripture and music with Christian themes are used to “bring home” the power of God’s love and unfailing presence in our lives. An Action Plan is developed to improve relationships with the former spouse by owning our mandate as Christians to forgive and even learn to love those who have wounded us.

Joy in the Journey (of Single Parenting) - Debunking the term “broken family” in a Christ-Centered world view where there is no such thing as a Christian “single parent,” this seminar brings comfort, peace, and power to single parents struggling with identity and emotional issues. Participants look to the presence of Christ in their lives today with the assurance He will never leave them. An Action Plan for overcoming adversities common to single parents is developed by each participant.

Free to Be Me (Healing From Abuse) - Statistics show that one in every four women has been sexually abused but the number suffering from emotional and psychological abuse is far higher. This seminar directed at women works on rebuilding self-esteem through scriptural empowerment. Women are taught to identify abuse, understand the psychology behind abusers, and how to respond to an abusive person. Forgiveness through Christ is highlighted as the path to true freedom. Participants develop an Action Plan that addresses wellness and a return to happiness from a Christian perspective.
