We believed the June 2008 THRIVE Applications Conference, Healing Redesigned, would be good. But we had no idea the conference would be this good! Our expectations were surpassed. Between Dr. Karl Lehman's rich teaching and Dr. Jim Wilder's creative exercises, the THRIVE Staff was profoundly overwhelmed at the positive response from the 140 attendees present. Testimony after amazing testimony was shared during each of the five days. Stories of God's faithfulness, deep healing, abundant growth, much needed encouragement and hope abounded.
The teaching by Dr. Karl Lehman proved to be insightful and powerful. Dr. Karl and Charlotte Lehman have worked numerous hours unpacking the Immanuel Process and how it relates to healing, recovery and growth. All week Dr. Lehman discussed the five levels of the brain and pain processing, trauma, memory and much much more. Anyone interested in recovery, healing, growth, the brain and maturity must be introduced to this information! The Immanuel Process has proven to be an instrumental part of the THRIVE Conference Training and is a large contributor in the Thriving Recover Your Life program. Learn more about the Immanuel Process at Dr. Karl and Charlotte Lehman’s website, http://www.kclehman.com/. We strongly urge you to attend their training seminars.
Dr. Jim Wilder led attendees through numerous exercises to help them cross the threshold from theory to experience. God was faithful as attendees interacted, prayed and tested the exercises. These exercises are a fundamental part of the Healing Module that is currently in development and part of the larger Thriving Recover Your Life program. Learn more at http://thrivingrecovery.org/. Let’s just say these exercises accomplished their purpose. We had numerous accounts of God healing people. Two of the evenings we had the opportunity to hear some of these testimonies as they were shared with the group. Each testimony was awesome! We barely scratched the surface of the testimonies. Many folks were unable to share because of time constraints. Miracles occurred throughout this conference. Folks who had not experienced God before were experiencing His presence for the first time. Some who had never been able to recover from old traumas were, for the first time, receiving healing and hope! We believe a book could be written just documenting the stories from the week. We praise God for His faithfulness! God used the Immanuel Process to free His people to abundantly live from the heart He gave them. Many chains were thrown off this week as people interacted with Jesus.
We ended each day with beautiful worship led by Charlotte Lehman. Thank you
