Joyful relationships with God and others help our brain
heal – and thrive. In Restarting, you will learn simple
joy and relationship building skills that will improve
your relationships, and help teach your brain to regulate
emotions, pleasure and pain more effectively. These
joyful relationships with God and others can help you
lay a new foundation for change that can overcome the
devastation of trauma, painful relationships, abuse and
addictions.
Taken from the web page of "Recovering Your Life", we are given a brief description of what forms the basis for the Thriving Recovery Meeting that takes place every Monday night at Gadsden Vineyard Church.
Lead by Amy Brown, Thriving is a two hour session that utilizes teaching and group interaction to provide those who attend tools to change the way they think and the way they approach and interact with daily life.
As well as helping them to see who they really are in Christ.
(The Following is taken from the Home Web Page for "Thriving")
Through the entire Restarting module and the Thriving: Recover Your Life program, participants learn to “renew the mind” and “take thoughts captive” in the context of dynamic and interactive relationships with Jesus and others. Through their interactions, they are able to learn and practice the joy, relationship and inner healing exercises that transform them at the deepest level possible – a level that traditional methods and techniques fail to reach. In the context of joyful relationships with God and others, participants are able to build the brain and maturity skills that are radically transformational! Their lives and relationships with God and others truly are Thriving!
Teaching participants to learn to listen to God is another foundational aspect of “renewing the mind” and “taking thoughts captive” that is at the heart of Restarting (Thriving). In the “Immanuel Process” participants discover that Jesus is truly always with them – in the joyful and in the painful moments of life. They learn that Jesus desires to have a moment-by-moment, intimate relationship with them that affects every area of life.
They experience the love of God when Jesus helps bear burdens that are too heavy to bear alone – and discover the joy of His transforming presence. Participants also learn to encounter Jesus in the pages of scripture, as they dialogue with Jesus about His word, and learn to journal their impressions.
Like I stated in yesterday's posting, we are very fortunate to have these three recovery meetings housed under one roof. We're looking forward to 2015 and all that God has in store for us, and those who are coming out of addiction into this new life with God.
