3rd Quarter Webinars
"The Enneagram as a Tool for Spiritual Growth"
Facilitator: Dr. Toni Lamotta
(Webinar: 2 General Credits)
Tuesday, September 10 | 1:00 to 3:00 pm CT
Description:
The Enneagram is a versatile and powerful personality typing system. Each point on the circle represents a map of traits that highlights patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. By learning the various types and the patterns and habits associated with each point, you can use the Enneagram system as an effective tool for self-understanding and ultimate transformation. In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore the 9 Enneagram points, reflect on both their Virtues and Holy Ideas as well as their Shadows, and consider how they can be used together to maximize spiritual growth.
4th Quarter Webinars
"Spiritual Direction Overview"
Facilitator: Joni Lorraine
(Webinar: 2 General Credits)
Thursday, October 3 | 1:00 to 3:00 pm CT

Spiritual Direction brings clarity to our relationship with God and what is Holy in our lives. It reveals where we can grow deeper in our spiritual lives, supports us in reconciling our inner and outer worlds, and helps us tune in to the movement of Spirit throughout life. In this webinar you'll learn what spiritual direction is and how it differs from pastoral care and spiritual counseling. We’ll sample the practice of spiritual direction and discover how sharing sacred stories with a spiritual companion/director can support our own flourishing.
"The Soul of Ministry"
Facilitator: Rev. Anna Shouse
(3-Series Webinar: Ethics/Boundaries Credit)
Tuesdays, October 8, 15, & 22 | 1:00 to 3:00 pm CT
Description:
Church communities are effective and sustainable resources for spiritual transformation to the degree they live the principles they teach. A community’s ability to embody this is grounded in the psychological-emotional-spiritual integrity of the ministerial leadership. Utilizing the perspective of family systems theory, this webinar establishes a foundation for ministerial leaders to understand the dynamics of the church relationship system, to take responsibility for managing self rather than trying to control others, and to utilize healthy boundaries that foster creativity, harmony, and soul development in themselves and everyone in the church.
