SUMMARY:LIFE TALKS
DESCRIPTION:February 19 & 26Growing Healthy RelationshipsJEFF AND MARY SANDERSClose\, intimate relationships (such as a spouse or significant other\, family member\, good friend\, or neighbor) are increasingly important as we desire a sense of belonging and community in a fractured world.

The goal of LIFEU is to inspire you to “Live In Faith Everyday” (LIFE) rooted in the words of Jesus from John 10:10: “I came that they may have LIFE\, and have it abundantly.” This year we seek to “Flourish Together\,” wrestling with timely and relevant issues with those who know what it takes to flourish together in our relationships and communities.LIFE Talks Dates & Topics:October 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 & 30 • Civility in Difficult TimesNovember 6\, 13 & 20 • Nourish to FlourishJanuary 8\, 15\, 22 & 29 • Christianity in ContextFebruary 5\, 12\, 19 & 26 • Relationships Matter \n\n\n\nJEFF AND MARY SANDERS draw upon more than 25 years of traveling and teaching on growing healthy relationships.

SUMMARY:LIFE TALKS
DESCRIPTION:February 19 & 26Growing Healthy RelationshipsJEFF AND MARY SANDERSClose\, intimate relationships (such as a spouse or significant other\, family member\, good friend\, or neighbor) are increasingly important as we desire a sense of belonging and community in a fractured world. They can also require an investment of time and energy. We’ll explore how to start\, tend to\, and end our most significant relationships—and how our faith is lived out in and through these personal connections. \n\n\n\nOur premiere adult education ministry includes inspiring weekly LIFE Talks and small group connections through LIFE Groups. The goal of LIFEU is to inspire you to “Live In Faith Everyday” (LIFE) rooted in the words of Jesus from John 10:10: “I came that they may have LIFE\, and have it abundantly.” This year we seek to “Flourish Together\,” wrestling with timely and relevant issues with those who know what it takes to flourish together in our relationships and communities.LIFE Talks Dates & Topics:October 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 & 30 • Civility in Difficult TimesNovember 6\, 13 & 20 • Nourish to FlourishJanuary 8\, 15\, 22 & 29 • Christianity in ContextFebruary 5\, 12\, 19 & 26 • Relationships Matter \n\n\n\nJEFF AND MARY SANDERS draw upon more than 25 years of traveling and teaching on growing healthy relationships. Both are licensed marriage and family therapists with extensive backgrounds in private practice counseling\, as well as leading trainings and workshops on mental health topics\, spirituality\, and faith. Mary and Jeff are both graduates of Bethel Seminary.

SUMMARY:LIFE TALKS
DESCRIPTION:The Umms\, Nones\, and DonesREV. JODI HOUGEIt’s increasingly common to find friends\, coworkers\, neighbors\, and family members who are skeptical about the Christian faith: Those who are curious about faith (the “Umms”)\, don’t claim any religiousaffiliation (the “Nones”)\, or were previously engaged in their faith\, but are now disconnected (the “Dones”). Pastor Jodi Houge speaks from her experience of planting a church in this changing context and how Christians are called to listen to\, learn from\, and love others\, no matter where they are in their journey. \n\n\n\nOur premiere adult education ministry includes inspiring weekly LIFE Talks and small group connections through LIFE Groups.

JODI HOUGE is Associate Pastor at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in St. Paul. She previously served 15 years as the founding pastor and church planter of Humble Walk Lutheran Church —a unique community of faith-seeking neighbors in St. Paul’s West End. Raised by North Dakota potato farmers\, she worked in youth and outdoor ministry prior to attending Luther Seminary.
