Let’s Get Healthy
We’ve all been there. Addicted to something. You may be struggling with an addiction of some kind right now.
You are not alone.
Sometimes we’re even addicted to good things. But any addiction that controls us and our behavior is unhealthy. Most of us want to live a healthier life, we just don’t know how. We tend to trip over ourselves on the way to happiness.
For many years the 12 Step Program has been an incredibly successful vehicle for change. In this eight part seminar you will learn to apply these principles from God’s perspective in a way that can help you in all areas of your life.

True Partnership–The Key to Joy-Filled Relationships
Do you ever wonder why you’re so normal and everyone else is so weird?
You are not alone.
Good relationships take work and it is our job to learn the skills that can make our relationships soar.
Relationships that last are those that consistently make small deposits of good things… God things… in the other person’s account on a regular basis. What are the good things? This seminar is full of ’em. The principles you’ll learn will be like receiving a large relational inheritance that you can draw on for years to come.
Learning to integrate life skills like longevity, closeness, listening, resolving conflict, and building a firm foundation will help you make regular relational deposits. The kind of deposits that earn compound love and enrich your relationships beyond measure.
No matter where you are… no matter what the relationship… this seminar will teach you Biblical principles of partnership. And… you will come to understand that your most valuable partner is God.
Success With Stress
Do you feel like you are all stressed up with nowhere to blow?
You are not alone.
We live in a fast-paced, stressed-out world that can easily roll right over us. Everyday the world rolls over on someone who was formerly sitting on top of it.
This seminar unpacks principles about how to use good stress and reduce the bad stress in life. You’ll understand how God wants to exchange our stress for His strength. You’ll see that He wants us to relax, wait, and add margin to four distinct areas of our lives.
Ultimately, you’ll understand that the key to reducing stress in life is realizing that you do not… never have… and never will… run the universe. God’s in charge, and when we learn to take God seriously we don’t have to take life so seriously.
You’re Not My Type And That’s Good
Have you noticed that you’re just a little bit different from the people around you?
You are not alone.
Understanding how different people think, learn and relate to those around them gives us great insight into how to communicate successfully.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most widely used management tool in America and Dr. Lowery is a certified trainer. In fact, he’s used this tool to train leadership in major corporations, build unity and purpose in churches and bring harmony to families that just felt out of tune.
Dr. Lowery will give an abbreviated version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to all that attend and interpret the results with information about the various personality types and how each relates to the other types. The sessions are insightful, hilarious, and long-remembered after he’s gone.
Dr. Lowery is often available to stay over (schedule permitting) after these events and conduct a staff development seminar using the Myers-Briggs.
