CTP Workshop
Learning and Growing Through Adversity
by Dr Sunny Philip
Saturday 30 July 2022
The Centre for Theology and Psychology invites you to a workshop that could radically change the way you think about—and respond to—suffering.
Melbourne School of Theology
9am to 4pm | 30 July
Many of us will face adversity in our daily lives, and for some this can lead to trauma.
Most of us see suffering as a negative, devastating thing, but studies show that many people can develop positive outcomes as a result of trauma or suffering.
This is called Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) and researchers have found a scientific link between PTG and religious, spiritual, and existential concerns.
As Christians, we see the theme of ‘growth through difficulty’ repeatedly throughout God’s word, but we often struggle to know how to put this into practice or help others through their trauma.
This workshop integrates Biblical teaching (with a special focus on Job) with the latest scientific insights to help us find ways to grow through adversity, and help others to do the same.
If you’d like to explore the path towards:
- Having a new appreciation for life
- Having a newfound sense of personal strength, and/ or
- Being better equipped to help others in pastoral and other care settings
Then register now for this excellent paradigm-shifting workshop.
