1.    "Connecting Like Jesus" or "Living into the likeness of Jesus" (based on 2010 book
       co-authored with Tony Campolo): communication and spiritual practices for
       relational transformation. Topics include: moving from self to God-awareness,
       soul-care, overcoming fear, sacred listening, connecting with questions, redeeming
       conflict, and storytelling.

2.    "The God of Intimacy and Action" (based on 2007 book co-authored with Tony
       Campolo): on having the kind of intimacy with God that fuels us to evangelize and
       work for justice.
       Possible description: Jesus taught the importance of cultivating our relationship with
       God, doing justice, and evangelizing. Yet, many of his followers today focus only  
       on part of these teachings. We will look at why and how Jesus encouraged and
       equipped his followers to have the kind of faith that led to a commitment to all
       three. We will explore how we, no matter our age or personality, can be intimately 
       connected to God in ways that will fuel us to “go and make disciples” (Matthew
       28:19) and “do justice” (Micah 6:8) as part of our daily lives.
