Every minister wants to make a difference through their ministry. Often, the seminary training fails to really give the skills necessary to handle the crises ministers face. While a good theological education is valuable, View all I have found meeting the real problems in a real world involve a different set of skills. Drug problems, marriage issues, sexual issues, anger management and depression are just a few of those problems. Crisis Chaplaincy training is training for the real world. Dr. Haynes has provided this training to men and women across America. His personal experience and theological background provide a solid training experience for any minister wanting to address the life needs in their congregation. I highly recommend this comprehensive training. View less

Passion and Purpose
HOW TO FUEL THE FIRE, FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND PURSUE YOUR DREAMS
Passion is more than dreams of great things and following your bliss. It is a burning deep within your heart that you cannot shake. Passion requires a burning in the pit of your stomach that is only tamed when you feed your dreams through accomplishments and actions toward that burn. That feeling of power, drive, energy, and borderline obsession required to achieve your dreams is passion.
