SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO

Comfortable in My Own Skin: Identity and Body Image
(Seminar Series #2)
Oct 11 8:00 AM-9:30 AM
Sacramento

Women do this thing to each other. It’s like a check-out glance, but it’s for another purpose. It’s to compare my body to yours. Come to this seminar to understand the inner motivation for why women flaunt or conceal their bodies, what makes every woman afraid of being known, and the ways we cope to prove we have it all under control. We’ll experience ways to communicate what makes women worthwhile through music, object lessons, brainstorming, and soul formation exercises that will leave you with ready-to-use tools for small groups and retreats. Be prepared to reflect on your body image, confront the core of your identity, and listen as others move into becoming comfortable in their own skin.

Why Healthy Youth Ministry Needs Both the Masculine and the Feminine
(Seminar Series #5)
Oct 12 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Sacramento

When was the last time you saw a man and a woman leading side by side in a healthy partnership? This session explains why today’s youth need to see men and women working together in leading, teaching, and decision making. Join us as we reflect on what women provide for men, and what men need in women. (Hint: It’s more than sex.) We’ll see why God was excited about the work that men and women (married, single, seasoned, or new) can do together, especially with those they mentor. We’ll offer the reasons why youth ministry run by one gender (male or female) doesn’t reflect the full picture God intended. Be prepared to think more deeply on the meaning of words like masculine, feminine, provider, and helper. We’ll conclude with ready-to-implement ways that male leaders can benefit by sharing leadership space with women.
