Aspiring to Wholeness, Refusing Despair
June 11, 2021 • Dean Greer
As new creations in Christ, our journey must never become a dour, downcast posture but rather the refining of our seeking to know more of Him. We listen for His defining word and refuse the misbegotten words that had defined us. We watch for - and take hold of - the boundless horizon He has opened for us. Where we stall in our suffering and are tempted by despair, we ask for help to refuse ‘worldly sorrow’ and stand in the Life Jesus won for us. On staff with Desert Stream Ministries/Living Waters for 20 years, Dean Greer has spent that time helping churches around the country become healing communities where men and women see God make possible what, seemingly, is impossible. His own life is a testament to the transformation possible to those surrendered to Christ. ©http://restoredhopenetwork.org.

Answering the "Conversion Therapy" Charges
June 12, 2021 • Joe Dallas
“Ban Conversion Therapy!” has become a rallying cry of the modern gay rights movement, and bans on the practice have been enacted in other countries, and are being proposed in the United States as well. In light of this, many are confused as to what constitutes “Conversion Therapy,” and how to answer those who claim we do it, and that we harm people, and that we should therefore be “shut down.” This workshop will clarify the differences between the image of Conversion Therapy and the reality of sound ministry, and will provide sample answers and rebuttals to those who apply the Conversion Therapy label to anyone offering Biblical counsel those wrestling with same-sex attractions. ©http://restoredhopenetwork.org.

Learning to Walk in Freedom
June 12, 2021 • Brenna Kate
We were created for freedom. Our souls cry out for it. Yet even though we know Christ died for our freedom, we don't seem to be experiencing the abundant life He died to give.

God beckoned Brenna to take a journey with Him—toward true freedom. In this workshop, Brenna shares those five Freedom Steps God revealed as she learned how to walk in freedom. ©http://restoredhopenetwork.org.
