Download or read book Restoring God s Foundation Facilitator Guide written by Dann Aungst and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan has bombarded us with a distortion and perversion of sexuality. He has taken God's beautiful gift of authentic sexuality, the gift to take part in the Holy Trinity by engaging in a divine union with our spouses and co-creating life with God. Satan has taken this ultimate gift of self and perverted it into a selfish act that attacks human dignity, damages us biologically and turned it into a distorted behavior. A behavior that instead of getting us closer to God, actually destroys our souls. Restoring God's Foundation is a Catholic based men's integrity program that serves to restore God's foundation of authentic sexuality by guiding men to freedom from sexual sin. This weekly program accomplishes this by educating men on God's plan of authentic sexuality, developing fraternal brotherhood, engaging in the Sacraments of the Catholic Church and then seeking to heal souls from the emotional damage resulting from life events that fuel the addictive process and create a skewed view of sexuality. The program is designed around the small group format and may be run by laity or professional leaders. Restoring God's Foundation materials come complete with facilitator training manual and guide with step by step instructions, a participant handbook, and weekly lessons on establishing a foundation for recovery, education on authentic sexuality and personal healing. Program registrants have free lifetime access to materials being continually developed, online video and lesson materials, and direct access to development staff for questions and assistance.

Download or read book The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments written by Scott Weeman and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.
