Who’s the unforgivable in your life? Is there any hope for overcoming unforgiveness? Dr. Rockenbach shares how God’s forgiveness transforms our lives by addressing some of the 18 questions people often struggle with concerning unforgiveness.

In this workshop we will review some basic biblical principles of how we can respond to
persons who are struggling spiritually and emotionally due to circumstances that have caused
some form of crisis or difficult circumstances in their lives. In the same way that there are
basic steps we can follow when providing physical first aid, we will consider basic biblical
steps to follow in providing soul care first aid. These steps will be shared in a format that is widely applicable and easy to remember.

Keynote Description for Central Regional Reception

Mental health is always a factor in conflict situations. The conciliator must have a basic understanding of mental health to promote lasting reconciliation. This interactive workshop will discuss various models, explore practical care methods, and equip participants with tools for working with parties in conflict.

Conflicts in churches can have underlying causes and effects including financial, emotional, and relational to name a few. How can church leaders and church staff build a systemic way to walk confidently through moments of reconciliation with more joy and purpose while reducing the pain of conflicts? How can they build relational systems of empathetic care and emotional intelligence? What does it look like to view and operate in such a Biblically based reality? What are the tools needed to build this into the fabric of the church? These tools will help to build robust relationships in the church where trust supersedes and where members joyfully turn toward one another in times of conflict and celebration.
