Satan now blatantly tempts us to immorality in ways that would have been ineffective only a few years ago. Each person is responsible not only to engage personally in spiritual warfare to resist sexual temptation, but to help others to effectively do battle in this arena. This session reminds us to be aware that we are all susceptible to sexual temptation. We look at the dynamics of sexual temptation and end with building a strategy for ongoing moral purity. The purpose of this session is not to bring guilt. We focus not on the past, but on building a strategy for maintaining moral purity in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Managing Stress:\u00a0 Stress affects everyone, and a joyful, productive life depends on having skills for handling it well. These sessions provide an understanding of how stress works and how our perception dramatically affects the amount of stress we feel. They also supply strategies from\u00a0God\u2019s Word on how to manage stress well. Participants have the opportunity to: a) identify their own stressors; b) look at their reactions to stress; c) learn how to handle their own distresses, d) identify and use both spiritual and natural resources for managing stress, and much more. We look at scriptural examples to see how Jesus and others handled stress. Practical applications help individuals learn how to lower the stress that is under their control,\u00a0and learn to better manage the stress situations they cannot change.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Maintaining Margin:\u00a0 Margin is a sufficient reserve of time, energy and money to provide for our needs and the needs of others. Margin is as essential as food, air and water. Without it people begin to wither and die: emotionally, spiritually and interpersonally. This session begins with a small group Bible study, looking at examples from Jesus&#8217; life and discussing principles we learn from Him. One serious consequence of not maintaining margin is burnout. Participants take a Burnout Inventory to discover where they are. Through small group and whole group discussion as well as reflection, participants begin to build their own strategy to maintain more margin in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>A new year begins.\u00a0 What will God have for us, for our family and for YOU in this new year?\u00a0 As we look to Him to be our ALL, let us enjoy what each new day brings.\u00a0 This last year has had it\u2019s medical challenges and family challenges.\u00a0 Yet we continue to see GOD\u2019s goodness and faithfulness.\u00a0 We are so thankful to our great GOD and count it a privilege to serve HIM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the last section of modules that we cover in the SYIS workshop.\u00a0 The past 3 months we have\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Looked at:\u00a0 Listening Skills;\u00a0 Conflict Resolution Skills;\u00a0 Skills For Living In Christian Community.\u00a0 Missionaries and really all of us have many relationships.\u00a0 How does GOD want to use us and teach us in these relationships.\u00a0\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-family","7":"category-ministry","8":"category-uncategorized","9":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/randy-wood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
