The Servant Heart — Jerry

The model for all Christians is Jesus who came to the world in the form of a servant. Many problems which plague the home and relationships can be traced back to the absence of a servant heart. Any time individuals are in a marriage for what they can get instead of what they can give, the marriage is headed for trouble.

Recovery from Death and Divorce

The common denominator of both death and divorce is loss. The two major issues that often prevent recovery are failure to forgive and inability or unwillingness to establish a new dream for one’s life. Designed for those who have endured loss and for those who desire to better understand the grieving and rebuilding process, this very powerful and authentic presentation draws not only from Jerry and Lynn’s professional expertise but from their personal experiences.

Parenting 101

How often have parents looked at each other and said, “All we wanted was a baby to hold.”? Parenting adds a whole new dimension to individual lives as well as to a marriage, and while the blessings are many, so are the responsibilities and potential heartaches. The question in child rearing is not “How can we rear a good child?” but rather “How can we be godly parents?” This down-to-earth yet often humorous presentation provides insight for parents of all ages.

Affair-Proofing Your Marriage

No marriage is immune to an affair. “It can’t happen to me” is Satan’s lie. Anyone can be emotionally or physically unfaithful if the foundation for fidelity is not firm and God-centered. Inherent in this forthright and informative presentation is a six-step model describing how good people become entrapped in webs of lies and deceitfulness. While controlling the choices of a spouse is impossible, one can determine the moral direction of their own life by establishing and maintaining firm boundaries.

Please Listen To Me (Part 1)

Surely “clean house” means “clean house.” Perhaps — perhaps not! No one sees the world exactly like another, and often the same words have different meanings. Central to healthy communication is an ac­knowledgement of each individual’s distinct perceptions and ego defenses. This dynamic and humorous session explains that “different” does not have to mean “wrong”— it usually just means different!

Please Listen To Me (Part 2)

The inability to deal constructively with anger is a ma­jor barrier in communication. Determining the source of anger is essential in learning to process it. Learning to “listen” to what lies beneath the words is also crucial if good conflict resolution is to be developed. Full of energy and common sense, this presentation is guaranteed to help you see yourself and those around you more authentically.

Unrealistic Expectations (“This Is Not Quite What I Expected”)

Young people usually enter into marriage with very distinct ideas about what the marriage will be and what roles each spouse will play in the marriage. Soon after the honeymoon this youthful idealism begins to give way to the realities of married life. To remain emotionally married couples must learn to evaluate and sometimes modify these expectations. This humorous, yet thought-provoking presentation brings to light some of these unrealistic expectations and provides some guidance for modifying them. Special emphasis is placed on sexuality and finances.

Trouble In Paradise: Pornography

This thought provoking and professionally presented session defines and addresses the origins of all addictive behavior and provides the scientific data explaining sexual addictions, including the addiction to pornography.

Loving Your Mate Through The Seasons Of Life (Part 1)

Nothing functions well without maintenance, and marriage is no exception. Periodic inventory needs to be taken of the marriage and of oneself. Too often emotional ties die because of neglect. At other times poor self-esteem, perfectionism, criticism, and depression can undermine the relationship. Acknowledging the origin of these issues and seeking realistic resolutions to them are necessary if the emotional bond is to survive. When marriage is seen as an opportunity for individual as well as couple growth, the marriage not only survives, it thrives!
