CPR: Facilitating Transformational Communities

In the following three blogs you are given a brief synopsis of the concepts and principles I taught and demonstrated at a recent pastors training retreat. The “training pathway” I set up for the UBC cluster leaders began with several small group training sessions that we did in various regions of the country. Last year I did an intensive teaching seminar with a follow up interview discussing each of the three dynamics (you can access these on our blog resource section). This year I briefly summarized each transformational dynamic and then demonstrated it with a small group of pastors. You can watch the process by going to our resource section (this video should be posted by the end of February). The final training phase will be a Supervised Field Experience where I watch them do it and then do some personalized coaching.

·      Entering the Battle by Pursuing the Truth
