Embodied Care Workshops

The philosophy behind Embodied Care is that humans are soul and body beings whose spiritual and physical needs reflect that reality. Ministering to an embodied being requires a framework for soul care that recognizes the importance of body care. These workshops are designed to enhance your ministry by ensuring that the biblical concept of embodiment informs your care.

Embodied Care is essential because Christianity finds expression through the body. It is an embodied faith.

Embodied Care workshops will help you minister to those under your care with a view of embodied reality from creation to resurrection.

Workshops can vary based on your time, topic of interest, and are available in person or online. A theology of the body and embodiment provide foundational elements for the other topics listed below.

Available Workshop Topics

Not only do Christians need to recover a biblical understanding of the body, but we also need the ability to articulate a pro-body view from Scripture while living in the midst of an anti-body culture. This ability is even more important for those in ministry who care for others walking through the difficulties of life that impact them as embodied beings. Enhance your care by addressing the whole person and helping others learn how to glorify God in their bodies.
