This workshop explores the essential components of experiential learning, and examines how disciples are guided through phases of transformation into new levels of leadership in the city. Participants examine the role of disorientation and dissonance in the urban experience, and learn how to fruitfully leverage these for personal and community shalom. Pathways for civic engagement that church and non-profit leaders can design for those they lead, are presented. Listen 79:20 minutes (72.64 MB)

by Alex Gee Talk presented Sat, May 15, 2004 at the Urban Youth Workers Institute Conference 2004. Ministry leaders spend their lives encouraging and supporting other people, yet we rarely have people in our own corner who pour into our lives. This workshop is designed for the leader who needs to really believe that God loves them dearly. In fact, He dotes on us. He sings over us. And He desires nothing more than for his partners in ministry to be confident, encouraged, supported and effective. This all begins with understanding how God truly sees us. Participants will look at Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalms 139 in order to begin the journey of accepting their acceptance. Listen 73:54 minutes (16.99 MB)

The Arts can be a key to unlock the soul. Paul knew this well as he quoted the poets in his address at Mars Hills. This workshop is designed to train you and your ministry to teach the Word of God with cultural relevance. The Word with no cultural handles is unintelligible to the unchurched. Culture without the Word bears no lasting fruit. Come and learn principles for effective evangelism to the hip hop community. Listen 76:10 minutes (8 MB)
