Jesus' message and ministry might have looked like in this familiar and unsettling modern context.

Summary:
Topics will include but not limited to:
• Freeing ourselves from the stress of life’s millions of inner pulls and outward distractions;
• Brain dynamics and the development of an empathic relationship;
• Understanding the connectivity of our relationship with God, with our loved ones, and with our children;
• Giving ourselves and our loved ones the freedom to Connect Grow & Serve.

Objectives:

• To help parents with young children develop their faith life in such a way that each is more able
to grow in freedom and to extend empathy to their loved ones and children.
• To show how the Christian commitment to personal growth offers a unique opportunity to develop in self awareness.
• To show how self awareness can free us to better love and relate to our loved ones and children.
• To explore methods of prayer that deepen self awareness.
• To understand the importance of our image of God in developing a prayer life that we can experience as real
and meaningful in daily life.

We hope that at the end of the morning each participant will have:
• A glimpse of how lived out images of God may differ from our accepted or learned images.
• An appreciation of the power that our images of God have in our prayer life.
• A sense of how an individual’s prayer life can affect relationships with others,
particularly her/his spouse, loved ones, and children.
Much of this workshop is informed by current research conducted with the brain and its development
through prayer.


CHRISTA McNERNEY, PhD, is a Diplomat of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
She holds a Masters degree in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College and a Doctorate in Pastoral
Counseling from the School of Theology at Claremont. She is trained in theology, pastoral care as well as psychology.
Therefore, she brings both counseling and pastoral experience to her present work. Developing trust in oneself is
key to both the therapy and spiritual direction Christa offers. Because of her background, she is better able to develop
trust with clients who open their spiritual, religious lives, and relational needs. Christa has enjoyed being at
Christian Counseling Service (CCS), located at First Baptist Redlands, for the past 25 years where she began as an intern.
She thought that after completing her training and the doctoral program she would move on. However, CCS and Redlands
has become home. She has appreciated the people at First Baptist Redlands and in the community. Christa has found much
gratification from the work she has been able to do as she helped people to greater peace and happiness.

JANA BOYD, PhD, received her Ph.D in Marital and Family Therapy as well as a Masters in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary
with a dissertation research focused on how Sabbath observance can impact marriage. She is currently a Marriage and Family
Therapist intern at Christian Counseling Service and also works with psychology students at Loma Linda University in their clinical training.
She specializes in dealing with relationship issues from both a psychological and a spiritual perspective. Areas of interest include
combined families, elder care issues, anxiety and depression in later life, marital therapy, and adolescent identity issues.
Jana, her husband, and three children live in the San Bernardino mountains where they enjoy hiking, camping, and skiing.
