Becoming A Gentle Protector - 19 Relational Skills
NOTE: This class is reserved for those of you who have completed a Joy Starts Here, The Joy Switch, or 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages module. If you haven’t participated with us in one of these yet, please join one of these modules. It will change your life!
Building on our introduction to and understanding of Joy as key to sustainable transformation, this next-level study of the Gentle Protector Skills offers an opportunity to focus on the Skills and dive deeper into understanding, practicing / acquiring, and propagating them.
This module is the heart of our pursuit of Christlikeness and is offered on an ongoing basis with the rhythm of Joy & Quiet built right in!
- We will meet 3 weeks in each of September, October, and November rest on the 4th week (which will often be a US holiday week when family events, vacations, and fun with friends - all great opportunities for practicing and propagating the Skills - will likely be on your calendar!)
- December will be a month of rest
- We will meet 3 weeks in each of January, February, and March
- April will be a month of rest
- We will meet 3 weeks in each of May, June, and July
- August will be a month of rest
- and so on...until you have had an opportunity to work through each of the Skills (and then you can always come back for a refresher or more practice!)
We will learn by doing, with each session featuring many exercises to be done together during our meetings and with others between our meetings. Through joyful relational connection, sharing our experiences, and a more detailed look at some of the brain science informing our exercises, we will have ample opportunity to grow these Gentle Protector Skills, our personal maturity, and healthy, joyful Community.
You will need to purchase the book Transformation Fellowship: 19 Brain Skills That Build Joyful Community by Chris E. Coursey, a link to which is on our RESOURCES page.
You will also need a journal, Bible and pen.
