A safe, therapeutic setting for Christian men and women who needGod’s power to be manifest in personal weakness as they face challenges and disillusionment in the realm of relationships, sexuality, identity, vocation, and/or physical health.

Christopher is a master’s level counselor, worship pastor, and theatre educator. Dorothy is a photojournalist, writer, and author of Making Marriage Beautiful. (

This five week intensive will include brief talks on need and shame, bonding and attachment, gender identity and sexuality, spiritual attack in areas of greatest gifting, and finding joy in the midst of suffering. Weekly readings and journal assignments will assist participants to highlight areas of specific challenge and disillusionment. Same-gender small groups will provide a safe and confidential context to share, to listen, and to access God’s power in our weakness.

Guided small group discussions may include (and not be limited to) recent and historic experiences of trauma, broken relationships, substance or sexual addictions, family of origin and generational sin patterns, marital struggle or failure, singleness and celibacy, parenting deficiencies, ethnic identity struggles, vocational transition, and chronic health concerns.

This group is recommended for men and women ages 22 and olderwho have had some experience being transparent with others about their sins and struggles.We’re looking for 6 men and 6 womenfor each group.
