Week Two at Charis

This week we had two really good speakers who both got us really thinking about our relationship with God and our families. Our first speaker, Steve Klassen (not our site leader, an older Steve) really focused and valued how to embrace a healthy lifestyle with God. He taught us how we need to listen to God through his word, at work all around us, in silence and solitude, and through our hearts. This was a big focus in his teaching since listening to God is so important and many of us don’t spend the time to just sit with God.


Our next speaker was Dan Unrau who spoke about family systems. He focused on the balance of families and how we only change once our families become unbalanced. We talked about secrets and triangles within families and how they are unhealthy, while differentiation and playfulness within families are healthy. Overall we had a very interesting week learning more about ourselves and learning more about God.
