Christian Witness and Ministry in a COVID-Shaped World: Practicing Mindfulness in a Time of Pandemic - starting July 13

  • July 13, 2020–July 31, 2020

You can find spiritual and emotional peace—even in the chaotic and confusing times. Discover ways to deepen your connection with God and live each moment intentionally.

Course overview

In the middle of a pandemic, peace of mind can seem very far away. But it is possible to feel control even while in uncontrollable circumstances.

At the heart of this course is the practice of Christian mindfulness meditation, which you'll use to be more aware of God’s presence and live more intentionally. You will examine research about the benefits of mindfulness practice. And you'll learn to adapt it to your own unique life circumstances.

Before this class ends, you'll see these insights and practices start making a difference in your life. You’ll be more than ready to face the emotional and spiritual challenges of this pandemic.
