The following topics were specifically designed as programs for the church community and are recommended to help you meet your educational and spiritual objectives:
Light in the Midst of Darkness
A biblical look at the afflictions Paul experienced that caused him pain and distress. We
will see how he was able to overcome his disappointments, by embracing the love and
promises of God. We will answer the question often asked, Where is God when it hurts?
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Controlling Stress Before it Controls You
Stress - what is it and how can we control it? Jesus gives us a personal example to help
us reduce and understand our stress. In this program we will develop principles that help
us build a life that keeps troubles in perspective and God close in prayer.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Chosen for Commitment
Throughout the Bible God chose individuals to commit to a life of service and
faithfulness. In this program we will look at the lives of Abraham, Joshua and Esther to
better understand the call that is extended to each of us to have a godly commitment.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Living with Loss
Understanding grief and loss is the first step toward healing from the pain. We will look
at the facts about grief, four tasks of the mourner, accepting our feelings, learning to
cope in healthy ways and how you can help yourself and others. We will also learn what the
Bible teaches us about grief and discover the spiritual path through loss.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
What Happened to the Ideal Home?
The story of Cinderella is a beautiful fairy tale, but it is not reality in the lives of
many married couples. In this program we will look at the "Cinderella Syndrome," coming to
grips with reality, redefining the dream for your marriage and making your castle a home.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Every Marriage Needs God's Touch and That Touch Begins With Me
In this program we will discuss what is needed to build a firm foundation for marriage
using God's blueprint and Biblical standards. The emphasis is placed on what each person
can do to strengthen their marriage, whether the marriage is strong or in need of repair.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Choosing the Good Part
The lives of Mary and Martha teach us about personal and spiritual choices. Are we
distracted or devoted, rushing or resting, reacting or responding, bitter or better,
contentious or content? What is the "good part" from a godly perspective and how can we
learn to make choices that please Him? This workshop can be presented as one lesson, or
divided into seven individual lessons.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Why Me, Lord?
One of life's greatest mysteries: why do good people suffer? In this interactive and
challenging presentation we explore this question by looking at four possible answers, so
we may understand God better through our suffering.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Roses Just for You
A personal account which illustrates God's intimate care and interest in our lives. His
promises are faithful and unconditional. His love is manifested in the simple things, if
we will look to and trust Him through the difficult times.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Experiencing Happiness God's Way
Many Christians are not experiencing happiness from a godly perspective. Unfulfilled
expectations and unfulfilled needs can contribute to disappointment with God, others and
life. In this program we will take a scriptural view to help us define what happiness
means from God's perspective.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Back to Basics
Returning to basics helps us answer the questions: Why did Jesus come? Why did Jesus die?
and How does Jesus live today? As we consider the answers to these questions, we will also
be challenged to consider our personal response.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Ordering Your Private World
What a person is in their private life, is what they really are. In this program we will
consider ways to cultivate and maintain the garden of our hearts, so the weeds that
restrict spiritual and personal growth can be removed and forgiven.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
How Not to Rub People the Wrong Way
If we take a microscopic look at our own lives, what do we see? How would our personal
character be described by those who know us best? We will explore our unrealistic
comparisons, unhealthy patterns, how to confront without condemning and being a team
player.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
In the Potter's Hand
In the book of Isaiah we read that we are clay in the hands of God, the Potter. What is
the process necessary to mold the clay into a beautiful vessel? How can we embrace and
cooperate with God as He works with us and through us? In this program we discover what it
means to be on the Potter's wheel, to be molded into God's handiwork.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Measuring Your E.Q. (Esteem Quotient)
What contributes to a low self-esteem? How can we develop a more positive self image so
our self worth is evaluated from God's perspective? In this program we consider
contributing factors, behavioral responses and suggested solutions to begin experiencing a
better you.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Set Apart for God
What does it mean to be set apart for God? What is God's design and purpose for your life
and how can we cooperate with Him to reach our full potential? Together we will identify
spiritual gifts used for the purpose of edification within the church community and
consider the meaning of sanctification - so we may be set apart for godly service.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Women After God's Own Heart
The lives of Biblical women create for us an example of love, passion, challenge and
forgiveness. How does God use ordinary women to live extraordinary lives? In this program
we take a closer look at the lives of several women who had a desire to intimately know
God and live for Him.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
From Fear to Faithfulness
God can transform a resistant person into a passionate seeker, a doubtful attitude into a
trusting spirit and a fearful response into a commitment of faithfulness. Moses models for
us the transforming power that is possible, when we surrender to the source of our
strength and devotion.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
Anger the Biblical Way
Anger cannot be avoided but it can be managed, understood and forgiven. Spirituality is
not suppressing the emotions that we experience, but letting those emotions pass through
the hand of a loving God for His healing touch and forgiveness. In this program we seek to
understand anger and identify Biblical ways to manage it - but we will not ignore it.
Presenter: Judi Fischer
When Life Gets Busy: Finding the Balance
Parenting is a privilege and a pleasure, but at the same time it can be overwhelming and
demanding. How do we find a healthy balance between caring for our families and caring for
ourselves? In this program we consider our self-esteem as women and ways to balance our
personal needs with the needs of others.
