Narrow, fuzzy and distorted perspectives can be greatly improved with the aid of an equipped conversation partner.
The ACMN ‘Perspectives’ webinar is for anyone who works with others to help them to respond faithfully to God, and especially for those who do this through mentoring.
A person’s response to God depends to a great extent on their perspective on what is going on in their world, and so this webinar will:
- Build an understanding of how humans develop their perspectives,
- Equip you with practical tools and skills to help others broaden and sharpen their grasp of their situation, and
- Provide you with ways to develop and keep your own perspective clear and balanced in your interactions with others.
