Spiritual Care

Have you ever felt like you still had more to offer your team? Many athletes struggle, thinking that God only wants to be part of their lives when they are at church. In this book, I will show you how God wants to be part of every area of your life, including sports. This book will challenge your thinking and teach you how to combine your spiritual life with your physical life to achieve success in your everyday sports life.

In this five-session audio Bible study, pastor and author Rich Wilkerson, Jr. reveals how Jesus was referred to as a “friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Luke 7:34). In the religious leaders’ minds this was one of the greatest indictments imaginable, but for Jesus it was a sign of success because it was the very definition of his mission. Rich shows that by following Jesus’ example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did.

To be pastoral is to create a sacred space and time for the other person who needs support. The caregiver is fully present, listening critically and attentively to locate the "pastoral pillars" on the way for continued support. In order to provide effective pastoral care ministry and also be able to nail down and address the core issues bothering an individual, the caregiver should look beyond the ordinary and superficial, and companion into the deep ("the shadow") with the counselee, mentee, directee, client, patient, and the like.

Each of these areas are a part of our daily life in some way, yet we so often fail to see them as holy, sacred, and considered worship by God. Make Good Tables will help you to see that all of life is sacred, holy, and full of God's goodness, beauty, and love.
