Faith/Spiritual
Running from Church to Find God (and How He Brought Me Home)
Have you given up on God? Have you been hurt by church and well-meaning Christians? Do you consider spirituality and religion to mean the same thing, with both to be avoided at all costs? Angela Howell will share her extraordinary journey inside Christianity—from her early life as part of a radical ministry, caravanning from state to state, to many other extreme religious experiences, to becoming a God-hater, to finally finding spiritual peace and coming home. Angela will help encourage you in your own faith journey, while helping you redefine what spirituality means to you. She will guide you to understanding the importance of nurturing your spirit—the God-given spark He put inside you that makes you unique and sets you apart from everyone else. Renew your passion to be in God’s presence, just you and Him, leaving all the junk from the past behind. Angela found a bridge home that worked for her and she will help you come home too.
Finding the Gift: Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Perspective™
Be encouraged and inspired as Angela shares with refreshing authenticity about the life lessons that put her on the path of personal healing and growth. Feel renewed as your eyes are opened to discovering what is already wonderful inside us and around us. Angela’s journey resulted in Finding the Gift: Daily Meditations for Mindfulness, her handbook for life. Using metaphors from the most unlikely places, Angela will challenge your group to transition from merely surviving, to thriving.
Letting Go of “What Was” to Welcome What’s Now and What’s Next
We live in a world where so much has changed. Lamenting over how things used to be prevents us from seeing all the new gifts unfolding today. Some of us may be able to embrace change more easily than others, but to some degree, we are all comparing life today with how it was in the past. And unfortunately, it’s likely that we are remembering what was good about yesterday, compared to what is challenging about today. Our ability to go with the flow, personally and professional, affects our work and the impact we have on our relationships (co-workers, family, friends, etcetera).
In this session, participants will:
- Learn to quickly recognize and confront discouraging thoughts.
- Identify a more helpful way to view change personally and professionally.
- Discover how to use mindfulness to become an ambassador of gratitude
Ideal audience: corporate wellness, entrepreneurs, education, recovery/disability, women’s events, life transition (job loss, divorce, grief)
