All of us experience pain in different ways at different times in our lives. For most of us, pain is a common experience that we don’t want. In fact, we go to great lengths to try to avoid it. But when we find we can’t avoid it, most of us need help in dealing with it. In this course, Dr. Alice Mathews and Dr. Karen Mason explain several types of interventions, which help us understand how we can come alongside people in pain and minister to them more effectively.

This course was biblically based, helpful, practical, and presents biblical principles that we can use for a lifetime. I really appreciated how the Bible was used to create insight and not just someone’s opinions being shared. The presenters were wise women of God who seemed very genuine in their work for the Lord.
KevinIt is revolutionary, encouraging, challenging, confrontational and yet loaded with a message of HOPE for individuals, groups and churches.
It is easy to understand, practical and insightful. Thank you for this life-changing course.

JasonMany of the topics [the professors] talked about with violence, forgiveness, self-esteem, how to be a better listener and understanding how God works things out for our good was very insightful and I enjoyed this course so much.
