The Emotionally Healthy Activist Course - 5865

Our emotional and spiritual maturity are inextricably linked. Unfortunately though, most leaders seek to bring unity and progress grounded in good intentions, positive character traits, and knowledge without personal transformation or substantial engagement with God and our inner lives. This can leave us at the very least with significant blind spots and at worst, perpetrating the very violence and brokenness we claim to be working to stop. Our hope with this work is to spur genuine grappling with the reality that we cannot testify to a freedom that we don’t know anything about, nor share truthfully about Jesus if we do not allow Him to get close. It is our firm belief that to meet Jesus is to meet our true selves because in Him there is freedom and shalom. And out of that freedom, we can preach, teach, speak, and lead as mature disciples and Emotionally Healthy Activists. Included in this book are: 8 Sessions of thought-provoking course material Guiding Scriptures to help ground your activism Reflection questions Skills that will deepen your understanding of yourself, God, and the world you live in About the Author Jonathan Walton is a Senior Resource Specialist with InterVarsity’s Multi-Ethnic Initiatives Department.
