“Believe how you are created. Become who you were created to be. Give who you are to life: your heart, your head, your hands.”
-Dr. Chip Dodd
Join Dr. Chip Dodd and Dr. Colton Shannon for a continuing education series that doesn't just check a box for your license, but provides a proven architecture for a sustainable life.
3 CEs available for clinicians who attend in person.
*This is an event for clinicians and any professional helper (pastors, physicians, lawyers, educators, etc.)*
Does your faith feel more like a checklist than a heartbeat?
Living fully is a daily experience of moving towards a vision for our lives.
These five series of CEs focus on our need to develop a pattern of living daily life as an RE experience. If we are fully involved in participating in life and love, we will pour ourselves out daily, requiring that we re-new ourselves daily.
Introducing our 2026 workshop series:
How to Enter the “RE” World
This is a five-part series about maintaining connection to yourself, others, and God. (No prior attendance required. Jump in at any time! Every workshop is designed to be independent, though you’ll get the greatest benefit by joining us for the full series.)
Replenishment Workshop - the value of stress and maintaining “flow” states in helpers
Restoration Workshop - how to foster restorative group dynamics through the focus on processing feelings
Recovery Workshop - understanding the “Wheel of Function” and addiction processes
Renewal Workshop - Scriptures that reveal our emotional and spiritual makeup and how to communicate them
Resolutions Workshop - a free workshop to align your 2027 goals with your core values and mission.
The Renewal Workshop
The Bible is replete with a focus on living fully and loving deeply in ways that often is not emphasized in theological study.
This course focuses on the Bible’s emphasis on the word heart and its application to living fully, loving deeply, and leading well.
This workshop explores God’s design of our emotional and spiritual nature.
We will explore a framework in Scriptures that allows the participant to focus on God’s relational aspects and their influence in our daily lives.
The participant will leave with key passages that reflect the workshop’s emphasis.
Here’s What You’re Receiving:
Three hours with Chip and Colton on thriving long-term while helping others.
A folder with extra articles, assessments, and resources for maintaining vibrant connection to your own mission.
Time to connect with other like-minded people.
