Hope Seminars are designed as the name implies, to offer hope to individuals, couples, and families who are looking for additional help as they encounter life and relational challenges.
The seminars features dynamic and thought-provoking presentation methods designed to actively engage participants into discussions that are geared towards change.
These seminars can be tailored to the request of an organization, church, or to fit within an already planned event. We will work to fit within your schedule to the best of our ability..
For the Community or other Organization
Although a church, group of churches, or Para-church organizations (as is often the case) may sponsor the community-based Seminar the presentation itself will not contain any material that is religiously insensitive to those who do not come from a Christian perspective.
For the Faith Based Community
The Church-Based seminar is specifically focused on what it means to see marriage from God’s perspective. The focus will be on how God gives hope through his Son Jesus Christ. He is the essence of all hope because he is HOPE!
The Faith-based seminar may be limited to a single church, or may be offered for several churches collaborating. This Seminar can be tailored to fit within an already scheduled event where selected topics are presented or to be totally independent of other events.
Schedule an event by going to the Scheduling An Event Page. Hope related Resources are available on the Resource Page.
Every marriage experiences two distinctive stages of relationship namely Honeymoon Stage and the Reality Stage. The Honeymoon Stage tend to last for a brief period in comparison to the Reality Stage. It is generally over once conflict enters the relationship especially if it is not resolved quickly.
Most couples are not prepared to resolve such conflict in a healthy and expeditious manner. This leads to the Reality Stage.
During this presentation, we explore topics directly related to restoring and renewing relationships within your marriage.
So many teens today are having a difficult time managing their anger. Is this something that they will outgrow? Is there a way to “temper” your teen’s “tantrum”? Is this a learned behavior? Your average teenager expresses his or her anger in ways that range from withdrawal and shutting down to explosive physical and / or verbal outbursts.
How do you help them express their anger in a more positive, helpful and less destructive way?
In this workshop we will outline steps to help them manage their anger. You will learn how to offer help and when necessary, appropriate consequences. The premise is this: “he who angers you so that you respond negatively, conquers you!”
Have you ever wondered why teens seem to have a “Jekyl& Hyde” personality? They will flip the script on you within minutes. Is there a possible explanation for this behavior? Do we excuse such as just the normal teenage growing process? Do we try to correct this or “join” the teen in this “adventure” of their life?
In this workshop we try and answer these questions while exploring the brain development of the average teen and how this factors into their behavior.
Just as any successful missionary would take the time to learn the cultural make-up or diversity of the people groups to whom they are targeting, so should parents, youth workers, and mentors of teenagers.
Teens do not come with a manual, yet as parents you are being asked to guide “these beings” through the most tumultuous time of their life. Everything is changing. Their bodies are changing. Their hormones are everywhere. Friends are becoming more important and it would seem that the role of a parent is diminishing. As a parent what do you do? How do you help your teen during this time of their life when they need you the most? As a youth worker / mentor, how do offer help to parents? In this workshop we will discuss ways of enhancing parenting skills through the use of contracts, incentives, effective rules and consequences, nurturance, soft-side / hard-side of disciplining, and a whole lot more.
