Reinicio del alma

Fri, 20 May 2022 15:28:10 GMT

Todo parecía estar bien, hasta que no lo estaba. Al reverendo Junius B. Dotson le costó un desmayo mientras predicaba en un funeral para darse cuenta de que necesitaba un reinicio. A medida que recordaba su propio peregrinaje a través del duelo, la depresión, el agotamiento y el colapso emocional, Dotson se apasionó por el llamado a un reinicio del alma para los pastores, pastoras, líderes de la iglesia y todas las personas discípulas de Jesucristo.

Este es un estudio de 6 semanas de duración para todas las personas de iglesia que se mueve a una velocidad vertiginosa a través de su vida diaria, a menudo con la confianza sólo en su propia fuerza para traer el reino de Dios en la tierra. Jesús nos muestra un camino diferente, un ritmo más fácil y no forzado de cómo es el trabajo del reino. Es un equilibrio entre el trabajo, descanso, juego, la adoración, el ejercicio y la buena alimentación, prácticas espirituales que mantienen nuestras almas frescas y sanas mientras hacemos el trabajo de la iglesia en el mundo.

Reinicio del alma es un llamamiento a la iglesia y a todas las personas discípulas de Jesús para que reinicien y reordenen sus vidas en torno a las prácticas espirituales, para aprender a caminar a través de nuestras temporadas difíciles con nuestras almas en conexión con la fuente de Agua Viva, de modo que no colapsemos o nos desgastemos. Y si llegamos al punto de agotamiento o derrumbamiento, aprendemos a apoyarnos para levantarnos entre si y dirigirnos a Jesús.

Are you working at a relentless pace, trapped in a cycle of trying to meet others' needs and ignoring your own? You need a Soul Reset—a hard stop to chronic busyness, a deep look inward, an intentional reliance on spiritual practices to help you reconnect with God, and a new path toward the abundant life to which Jesus calls you.

The Soul Reset DVD includes six 5- to 7-minute segments with author Junius B. Dotson in which he

explores themes of authenticity and wholeness from his book Soul Reset
offers commentary on key scripture passages
highlights vital scripture practices modeled by Jesus Christ
shares insights into how to experience your own "soul reset" and live the life God desires for you

The six video sessions are based on these themes:

Soul Reset Assessment
Feel the Feelings
It's Not All on Me
Take Care of Yourself
What to Do with Grief
Living in the Light

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, Soul Reset offers practical help for slowing down and allowing God to transform your life.

Soul Reset Session 6: Living in the Light

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:33:35 GMT

God didn't come to condemn us but to save us. God didn't come to shame us into relationship. God didn't send Jesus to condemn us and make us run and hide. No, Jesus came to free us from shame and fear and sin and darkness. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Soul Reset Session 5: What to Do with Grief

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:33:28 GMT

A gift we can give ourselves is the ability to be ourselves in the midst of grief. To not pretend that we have it all together. To not put a timetable on our grief, but to know that God heals in God's time, and that's okay. To know that as you are moving through the grief process, there are people who know you and support you every step of the way. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Soul Reset Session 4: Take Care of Yourself

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:33:21 GMT

Taking care of ourselves sustains us for the whatever life throws at us, be it mountaintops or valleys. We all have mountaintop experiences, but most of our life is not lived on the mountaintop. We all have valley experiences, and fortunately, life is not lived just in the valleys. Most of life is lived somewhere in between. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Soul Reset Session 3: It's Not All on Me

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:33:13 GMT

When Jesus' very presence is our first priority, we can lift our eyes from the long list of tasks to be done and instead focus on their greater purpose. Busyness is not the way of Jesus. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Soul Reset Session 2: Feel The Feelings

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:33:05 GMT

God doesn’t just save us for heaven in the future. God saves our hearts and souls and bodies in the here and now. God cares about our whole person, just as we are. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Soul Reset Session 1: Soul Reset Assessment

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:32:58 GMT

The most important thing—our first-base tag—is staying close to Jesus. That’s what sustains us for the lives and the works to which we are called. (Soul Reset series introduction and preview trailer segments included.)

Everything was going fine … until it wasn't. For Reverend Junius B. Dotson it took an actual breakdown during a funeral for him to realize he needed a reset. As he recalls his own journey through grief, depression, burnout, and emotional breakdown, Dotson is passionate about calling for a Soul Reset for pastors, church leaders, and all disciples of Jesus Christ.

This is a 6-week churchwide study for everyone who moves at breakneck speed through their daily lives, often relying only on their own strength to bring God's kingdom on earth. Jesus shows us a different way, an easier, unforced rhythm of what kingdom work looks like. It's a balance of work, rest, play, worship, exercise, and eating well—spiritual practices that keep our souls hydrated and healthy as we do the work of the church in the world. Soul Reset: Breakdown, Breakthrough, and the Journey to Wholeness includes a book; a DVD; downloadable video segments; age-level discussion guides for children, youth, and adults; sermon starters; and more.

Soul Reset is a call for the church and all of Jesus' disciples to reset and reorder their lives around spiritual practices, to learn to walk through our difficult seasons with our souls connected to the source of Living Water so that we don't burn out or break down. And if we do burn out or break down, we learn to lift one another up and point one another back to Jesus.
