Challenges of Family Conflicts Integrating Spirituality and Psychotherapy, Wisdom from Jesus and the Urantia Book, Personal Experience, Listening, Prayer and Forgiveness

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

Even Jesus had to deal with family conflicts! This presentation will focus on wisdom from The Urantia Book, along with personal experience and the arts of listening, prayer and forgiveness. What did Jesus teach and model in his life and family? What are the ideals of family life, and the challenges that seem arise in families today, especially around topics of faith and religion? Examples learned in facilitating family problem-solving, as well as cultural methods of family problem-solving involving prayer and forgiveness, and an experiential forgiveness process, will be shared. What is needed and what works?
