AMFM Conference-Workshops Day 2
On Day 2 (Wednesday), we were able to attend 2 workshops because we had another general session in the afternoon. We were also able to watch a pre-screening of the movie, "Courageous." On Wednesday, I attended workshops on Tangible Tools for Couples in Crisis & Pastors-the Perfect Parents?
Tangible Tools for Couples-Clint & Penny Bragg were the presenters of this workshop. They presented us with many free resources. The Bragg's started their presentation by sharing about their journey through crisis, divorce, and then reconciliation. Their presentation was based on the tools that they used personally and have continued to use with couples. If you have read my previous blog entry, this is used not as a first response, but as a couple works through reconciliation. They shared several handouts which included tips to reconcile relationships, beginning the healing process, roadblocks to reconciliation, 5 tangible tools, how to pray effectively for a marriage in crisis, 3 key truths for surviving separation, etc. They highlighted a few tools: marriage standards, make a marriage timeline, prayer cards, devotional times, accountability, reading books together. Their website is www.inverseministries.org. On that site, you can access free podcasts on many of the areas mentioned above.
Pastors-the Perfect Parents?-This practical workshop focused on good parenting techniques for all parents not just pastors. The presenters were Lori Wildenberg & Becky Danielson. We started by talking about our parenting style. They shared a chart and how each of us moves back and forth at times, but generally have a default style. We also looked at how these parenting styles can be seen in how God relates to us. After parenting styles, we looked at how we communicate and how personalities affect this communication.
Courageous-I had the privilege to watch the movie Courageous which comes to theaters on September 30th. This movie is excellent! It has great humor and drama. It is not only an entertaining movie, but it will also challenge you as well. Everyone needs to see this movie. There are also many opportunities for this movie to be used by churches to reach their community as well as raise up a godly generation of dads.
