WHO IT’S FOR
Senior / Lead Pastors

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
This 24-month cohort for senior/lead pastors (and spouses, if applicable) provides both personal and corporate financial education, coaching and specialized support. Funded by a grant from the Lilly Foundation. 

Emotionally Focused is a discipleship process that blends Christian spiritual practices and concepts from neuroscience and psychology to unpack your most formative life experiences and help you understand how they influence the person you are becoming. There are three core experiences that build on each other and should be engaged in sequence. Each experience pairs excellent content and practical tools with time for guided self reflection, small group processing and coaching!
