Dear ECO Pastors & Leaders,

A common phrase pastors are saying as a result of all the challenges they faced in the last year is, "Seminary didn't prepare me for this!" Certainly the stress levels have been through the roof with a pandemic, racial tensions and a divided nation. It has been a year of experiencing a full range of emotions. This course can help you navigate these emotions in healthy ways and for the glory of God. The good news is that God created us in His image as integrated beings, such that our emotional health is vital to our spiritual health and maturity. We cannot be fully the leaders or followers that God desires us to be until we have healthy Biblical ways of integrating our emotions into our faith, relationships, decisions and leadership.

Based on Peter Scazzero’s book and videos, this course will outline for us the top 10 symptoms of emotionally unhealthy spirituality and then unpack the core Biblical principles which will guide us into an experience of lasting, beneath the surface transformation of your relationship with Christ.

In committing to this 8 week course, each week you will be assigned to read one chapter of the book and watch a short 20 minute video in preparation for the class time each Wednesday. The core of the experience is in doing a 10 minute daily devotional 2 times a day (Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Day by Day, Pete Scazzero). The total time commitment per week, including the class time, will be approximately 4 hours. Our class time will be split between small groups of 6-8 for sharing/discussion and large group teaching.

It is because the world desperately needs passionate followers who live out of a deep inner life with Jesus, being both spiritually and emotionally healthy salt and light to our communities, that we offer this course to our ECO church leaders. Please invite other ECO church leaders to join you in this transforming journey that can be a resource for your entire church. May you prayerfully discern if this is your flourishing next step as we seek to build flourishing churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ!
