Solution-Focused Ministry

 John Edmiston in blazer  In this course, I want to help you develop a dynamic new mindset for ministry, and to impart effective methods that flow from this new mindset.

To be effective in ministry you need to be solution-focused rather than problem-focused. This subtle change in your outlook will make a profound change in your ministry results! If you are stuck, it will help you to get unstuck.

Jesus solved real problems, for real people, in real time. Then Jesus turned His disciples into problem-solvers—and they went out healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the lepers and proclaiming the Kingdom of God. 

Solution-Focused Ministry will teach you how to find powerful solutions for your church, your non-profit, or your missions agency. It is based on my book Solution-Focused Ministry which you can purchase on Amazon or through the website https://solutionfocusedministry.org 

There are eight lessons, which should take about 45 minutes each.

The first three lessons focus on developing the solution-focused mindset and the next five lessons focus on implementing solution-focused methods.

The lessons are:

1.   Being Solution Focused.

2.   The Solution-Focused Christian.

3.   The Masterful Mind

4.   Discovering Your Solution

5.   Your Solution Probably Needs A System

6.   People Are Your Solution

7.   Implementing Your Solution

8.   Future-proofing Your Solution
