Burnout is a term bandied about by many but it is not a fad and has REAL consequences. This class will help ministers understand ministry and family burnout, identify burnout in themselves and those they shepherd, and, most importantly, deliver spiritual strategies that will actually help prevent burnout.

Single women and men fall in various categories from fresh out of college, working professionals, older widowed adults, and never been married individuals of all ages. Some may be content with their singleness and desire not to be married while others have always desired to marry. As ministers and disciples in God's family, we can often struggle with understanding how to adequately connect and support the single individuals in our fellowship. During this class, Dr. Amin, a single woman herself, will be talking about the needs, challenges, and opportunities within the singles ministry. We will also discuss how to more effectively partner with single individuals to enjoy family and friendship.

Ministers and small group leaders have rarely received training in how to counsel couples and how to conduct family counseling. Dr. Konzen has had some rewarding experiences working with couples and families and will be sharing practical tools and interventions for counseling those who meet with you.
