Read MoreHow would the church look differently if we lived as though the Holy Spirit had already provided all the resources we need for our ministry context? What would ministry look like if practitioners approached the task from a place of abundance and NOT lack? Ericka lays the groundwork for these possibilities to become realities in this succinct mini course. This course will NOT answer all your questions, but it should whet your appetite towards a better approach to church and ministry.

Read MoreThe intro course offered a reflection of the "find/fill a need" paradigm in a way I had not experienced or been able to articulate before. Not only does the ABSD approach invite me to engage my community in ways that will bring greater health - but it also relieves ME of the pressure I would usually put on myself to "help" the people I care for in ways I ASSUME they need "helped." So excited to be part of this growing community that is learning how to relate to themselves and others with a more abundant mindset.

Read MoreEricka's ability to articulate something so foreign to many in church ministry is remarkable. ABSD can enable Pastoral leaders to live a more integrated life without sacrificing their families on the altar of ministry. An ABSD approach allows Pastors to do all the things that they wished they could do but were too busy to explore. This course is not just for Pastors. It is for those at every level of their faith who simply want to take part in what God is doing in their midst. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to be good news to their neighborhoods.
