LifeLines

Everyone Is A First Responder

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY WHEN SOMEONE SHARES SOMETHING HARD?

 

As our communities face a rising mental health crisis, a loneliness epidemic, high divorce rates, rising family brokenness and estrangement, how can we provide vital support? Support of friends and family acts as a buffer against stress, helping individuals cope with challenging situations more effectively and reducing the impact on their overall well-being.

 

In the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) Jesus reminds us that we are to be compassionate and respond to hurting people. The reality is we are all called to respond, but we often feel inadequate, ineffective or even indifferent when we hear of other’s struggles. 

What To Expect

The LifeLines course is a skills course to help every person feel confident responding to individuals in need to ensure that no one has to navigate tough times alone. As believers in Jesus, we are charged to walk alongside each other in our pain. We are to mourn with those who mourn (Rom. 12:14). We are to bear one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2). We are to be compassionate, gentle, and patient with each other (Eph. 4:2; 1 Pet. 3:8). This course will help you learn practically how to live out these biblical directives.

What You'll Learn

In this 4-hour workshop you will:

  • learn actionable ways to respond when someone shares their hurts
  • gain confidence to respond to individuals in need to ensure that no one has to navigate tough times alone
  • clearly understand how (and how not) to respond when someone opens up
  • how to effectively influence people's lives in a meaningful way

We don't want to see anyone hurting alone.
