Loving the Jesus Way Events

Our events are designed to be just a taste of what our modules offer. At each event, you will learn the theological foundation for the module and a couple of practical activities that you can integrate into your daily life. The events are an immersive experience where you will be guided through part of the module by trained facilitators. Each session includes a teaching, an activity, and a group experience.  Something to think about, something to do, and something to share.

Join us for our Next Event!

Loving as Loved Events

Every human being was created to be loved and to love as and because we have been loved first. This is how Jesus lived and loved when he was on Earth. Love is meant to be experienced, enjoyed, and share for our joy, others' good, and God's glory. Loving as Loved helps you experience being loved by God through words and actions by teaching you multiple activities that you can engage in daily. 

At the event, you will be led through 3 Sessions: 


Focus:
Loving the Jesus Way


Spoken:
Experience Being Loved by God Through the Words of Scripture


Visible:
Experience Being Loved by God Through the Actions of People

Would you recommend a First Loved Event to a Friend?

"YES! This is the kind of teaching/ministry that you need but did not know you needed. After setting the foundation of Jesus' love for you, the teaching will help you understand how your life experiences impact how you receive Jesus' love; receive love from others; and love yourself. It helps you to put words to things you may feel but do not understand or know how to express." 

Karen, Loving as Loved Event Participant

Getting Along Events

Whether we have done wrong or been wronged, when we find ourselves in pain, anger, or fear in our relationships we need a Restoration Process. Throughout this module, you will learn skills and engage in activities that will increase your capacity to show others love through humility, curiosity, and generosity while building relational security. As the wrong-doer, you will learn how to experience God's love, care about the painful impact of your actions on others, and begin to restore trust by offering a love-based apology. As the one who was wronged, you will learn how to experience God's love, empathy, and compassion so that you can truly forgive one another as forgiven.

At the event, you will be led through 3 Sessions: 


Stop:
Being Loved in your Fear and Anger


Look:
Searching your Heart and Mind


Listen:
Becoming Curious and Generous
