Mary Andrews College – Theological and Pastoral Perspectives on Trauma (Seminar 1)

Great to spend the afternoon with students from Mary Andrews College in Sydney as part of their Theological and Pastoral Perspectives on Trauma seminar unit. Tim brought a Biblical reflection from Luke 4 and Isaiah 61 before reflecting on the nature of trauma, aspects of a traumatic event, longer-term responses to trauma, cognitive processes and trauma, and principles of trauma informed pastoral care.

The Phoenix Australia resources he referred to are available below.

Mentoring Leadership – Workshop 7

The seventh and final of a series of workshops with members of the Transform Southern Sydney mentoring group occurred on zoom this morning. Tim commenced with a word study on ‘imitate’ (mimeomai) in the New Testament and we considered its implications for mentoring. We reflected on the interpersonal skill of self-disclosure in mentoring and the dynamic of transference. We spent time considering common sources of pressure from subconscious processes and supporting mentors through Sabbaticals. It has been a delight to spend time with the mentoring group in the workshops.

Notes from the workshops are in the team Dropbox.

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
