The more divided and
spiritually confused our
nation and world become
and the more beyond social
and political solutions our
problems appear to grow,
the more we find ourselves
crying out with aching
hearts, “How long O Lord
will you wait? Rain your Holy
Spirit on us and rescue,
heal, and restore us! Bring
us times of refreshing and
revival!” Do we actually
know what we’re asking
for? And are we and our
ministries prepared when
the Lord answers in the
affirmative? How can and
should we be preparing
now for an outpouring of
grace in our communities
in the foreseeable future?
This session is not typical
Sunday School lesson, but a
call within our community to
understand the times and
know what we should do.
A growing body of
psychological literature is
placing emphasis on faith,
meaning, and purpose as
having significant roles in
trauma outcomes, both
positive and negative. The
purpose of this workshop
will be to increase the
clinician’s understanding
of the spiritual and mental
health sequelae following
traumatic events, how to
navigate unique cultural
and individual factors that
can impact the healing
process, and practical
steps the clinician can take
to improve resilience and
growth before and after
traumatic events.
There is so much joy when
you know you are walking
in God’s will. However, that
joy can quickly dissipate
when we run headlong
into the realities of life. It is
especially easy to become
discouraged working in
underserved areas. We can
lose sight of what is important,
and find ourselves
wavering from our calling.
Using concepts from
Henri Nouwen’s Life of the
Beloved, Dr. Thomas will
exposit Luke 3-4 contrasting
the sweet voice of our
Father with the dark lies
of the enemy. This timely
message will encourage
you to contemplate your
motivation for serving in the
hard places.
For 25 years, Crossroad
Health Center has provided
quality care to adult and
pediatric patients in underresourced
communities in
and around Cincinnati. In
2016, Crossroad recognized
the need for quality,
wholistic prenatal care,
and created a program
model designed to impact
the high infant mortality
rate in their county. This
session describes how they
assessed the need, and
implemented their prenatal
care program in partnership
with a family medicine
residency, a for-profit
hospital and a safety-net
hospital. There will be a
review of resources, and
guidelines on negotiating
strategic partnerships to
insure quality in serving
a high-risk underserved
population.
The intensity of medical
training and the pouring
out of ourselves in medical
practice can lead us to feel
there is nothing left to give
at home, in relationships or
for personal self-care. Could
our pursuit of “balance”
be harmful, and could it
be leading us away from
Christ’s desire to unify all
areas of our lives under his
Lordship. During this highly
interactive session, we will
propose a reframing of the
culturally popular idea of
work-life balance.
