06 Leadership Training for Choosing Wisely Before You Divorce and Divorce Care Part 2

You are about to enjoy a presentation recorded at the 2022 Michigan Conference Camp Meeting held at Cedar Lake, Michigan.

We pray that the Lord will bless you as you listen.

Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this day.

Thank you for these friends whose hearts are wanting to learn more about how to walk with others and to do that well when people are going through separation, divorce, or maybe even have marriages that are in crisis.

So Holy Spirit, lead us, guide us, help us to know how to do that.

You're the primary leader in all of this, and so we just want to follow your lead.

And thank you for Church initiative, these divorce care and choosing wisely before you divorce material, just being a tool to help people in their roads to recovery.

And we do pray first and foremost that if people don't know you through these interactions we have with them, that they can come to know you as Lord and Savior.

And if they do know you and they're discouraged, that they can be encouraged again.

Let's watch our final leader training video.

This is a 10-minuter, so not too long, and then we'll get another taste of an actual divorce care itself video.

For someone I know that's done it before, they felt like 5 and 10 might be more appropriate.

That the older kids maybe didn't connect.

For those that are coming in for the first time, there is a clipboard I'm gonna have you sign.

The first sheet is for Gail, Gail Mitchiff.

Just fill out that information if you want an email, and then the second sheet is for me.

Okay, while that's happening, I'll give you a chance again to watch an actual divorce care video, the current ones.

That leadership training DVD was from the Divorce Care 3.0, and the divorce care materials were updated this past year, or they released this past year, 2021.

So, and for those that are listening, gonna be listening to the audio, I'll just review real quick, and also if you're here for the first time, just kind of a quick, quick summary of what this is.

So Church Initiative is the parent company behind the 3 tools really, Divorce Care for Kids you heard, Divorce Care itself, as well as choosing wisely before you divorce.

And so divorce care itself is the website www.divorcecare.org and then you heard DC4K is www.dc4k.org and then this choosing wisely before you divorce.

It's a free tool online now because it's a bit dated about 25 years old I think but still helpful This is a tool for marriages that are in crisis, even if just 1 spouse is willing, watch these free videos at www.beforyoudivorce.org.

My name is Darrell Michael, and my email is darrellmichael at gmail.com.

And our group that we do in the Boyne City Seventh-day Adventist Church Our zip code is 49712 And why that matters is simultaneously we do it in person and we do it on Google Meets.

So even if a church in your area, you go to divorcecare.org, you punch in your zip code, and oh no, the nearest 1 to me is 2 hours away or an hour away.

Well, know that if you want, you could punch in our zip code and you could participate from anywhere.

And our group, I didn't write that up there, but our group begins The first Wednesday in September, which is September 7th, 6.30 to 8 o'clock p.m.

And I have a co-leader, a female co-leader, which is awesome.

She's a part of our Boyne City Seventh-day Adventist church as well.

And then the only other thing I'll read real quickly are the 13 videos for divorced care.

For the listening folks, Deep Hurt is number 1, Road to Recovery number 2, 3 is Anger, 4 is grief and depression.

7 is family and friends, referencing how those relationships can change during separation and divorce.

11, really is about reconciliation, but it's titled in the new materials, Your Former Spouse, and versions of reconciliation, by the way.

Not just reconciliation of a marriage, but maybe camp civility, potentially co-parenting if you have kids, and friendship, and then potentially marriage.

Single and parenting is number 12, and brighter days ahead, brighter days number 13.

Review for some, but full speed ahead for others of you.

So again, what we're in is, this course is, 315 is divorce care itself, but this 1 is leadership training for if you might have a heart for divorce care or some of these tools coming to your church, that your church leadership might be asked to consider having this be 1 of the Felton Needs Ministries in your church.

And when you ask a question, I'm going to actually bring you the microphone, just for the people that will listen.

So the kit itself, I believe it's $360 a one-time fee, if I'm remembering right.

And so what that includes is all of the 13 DVDs.

It includes 5 of the participant workbooks.

And it includes unlimited for the rest of your life.

We talked about these ministry coaches that you call Church Initiative or Divorce Care.

Again, 1 of the Church Initiative ministries.

At any time, they'll help you get set up.

Unlimited usage of their website, because when people search for divorce recovery or what not, divorce care is certainly 1 of the first things that comes up.

So It's just a really helpful tool that really allows a one-time fee though.

I don't know what the divorce care fee...

I don't know if they've updated that 1 recently.

Our church currently is not doing that, but you'd have to check with them to know what the price of that 1 would be.

And the company also does, just random thought here, but grief share for those who have lost a loved 1, it's another ministry that they do as well, 13 weeks as well.

The only thing I would say is with us as Adventists, we see what happens when we die a little bit differently.

So remember, this is a non-denominational trying to equip churches to walk with others through their pain.

And Certainly, divorce care is very, very fitting for Adventist churches.

I would personally even say though, grief share, the quality of that's worth it.

I like, even though grief share has materials in it that I don't agree with in parts of it, I love that it's a window to talk about, This might be how the video presents what happens when you die might be true, but it also might be, you know, talking about state of death and those kind of things.

So for me it's a good window in my opinion.

Otherwise, as you're thinking in case you do have any, I'm going to have you vote on which divorce care video.

I'm going to make sure this door is ajar a little bit.

It shouldn't be locked, but if someone does want to come in So here's your options.

So the ones we're watching just to give an idea for the first session tomorrow We're gonna watch the your former spouse and then single living so I'm trying to spread it out a little bit because there are some people that are involved in both the 215 seminar and the 330 seminar.

So, that means your choices today are fears and anxiety, family and friends, financial and legal issues, conflict, or brighter days?

So let me get a pen so I can do a little tally vote as you decide which 1.

We're going to decide together, in other words, which 1 we're going to watch, okay?

Okay, so hopefully, do I need to repeat those options?
