Change is all around us. It’s one of the few things in life we can’t avoid. But how do we process change? How do we cope with change we weren’t looking for? How do we adjust to change that won’t just reverse itself? What happens when the change isn’t turning out like it was supposed to? These are big questions and at some point in most everyone’s life they are questions we have to wrestle with.
The Transition 101 workshop is designed to help provide language for navigating the internal response to external changes. We call this process “transition.” It’s the inner process one goes through to adapt to external changes. In cross-cultural missionary work, there is lots of change, and it can be bewildering and very confusing.
Whatever the transition is, there is hope. We all face transition at some point, whether we embrace it or not, there is a larger consistent picture that often encapsulates the process. In this light, we can begin to see meaning and understand how God’s providence is at work. This workshop will give you a framework for understanding what God is doing in the midst of your transition. It will also provide signposts of where to look for Him at work. These can be especially important when it may feel like you are lost.
Some examples of a major life transitions are:
- Moving
- Becoming empty nesters
- Bereavement
- Getting a new job
Outcomes you can expect:
- An understanding of the larger and normal process of transition
- A basic map of how the process generally goes
- Encouragement that you are not actually lost
- Exercises to help you cope and process what’s changing on the inside
Who this workshop is for:
- Anyone wanting to learn more about the process of transition
- Anyone finding themselves walking a major change in their life
- Leaders looking to help their teams walk difficult transitions
Whatever the transition you find yourself in, this workshop will provide a basic road map and show you where to look for hope. It’s an invitation to walk the road of internal change with God.
