Fortunately\, there are alternative Christmas programs that find dignifying\, creative ways to give parents the opportunity to take the lead in providing a joy-filled Christmas for their kids. \nJoin True Charity for a panel discussion featuring two ministry leaders who run Christmas Markets\, or affordable Christmas programs. You can look forward to discussion on the following: \n-Ideas for sourcing the gifts-How to price toys-Tips for recruiting parents who would benefit-How to get your board\, staff\, and volunteers on board with a contribution-based model \nOur panelists will also share about their own journeys implementing a Christmas market\, including the challenges and the wins. Come with questions! \nOur panelists: \nDebbie Wells is a case manager at InnerMission\, the outreach arm of The Gate Church that runs an affordable Christmas Market to help low-income families in their community and connect them to the church. \nBryan Lewis is the President and CEO of Hope House Ministries\, a nonprofit that operates an affordable Christmas program each year that allows parents to provide gifts for their children for one-tenth of the retail value. \n \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VkVaTvcmSyinRc6JeM9fUA” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Would your shelter be protected if you chose not to let a man who identifies as a woman stay in the women’s dormitory? Would your nonprofit be prepared for a legal battle if you declined to hire someone who did not adhere to your organization’s biblical beliefs? \nJoin True Charity for our webinar in partnership with The Alliance Defending Freedom\, the world’s largest organization committed to defending religious liberty. In this webinar\, we’ll explore the current religious liberty landscape and focus on how your nonprofit or church can create quality governing documents that will help defend your organization in the case of a legal battle. \n  \nHarrison Smith is the Senior Regional Alliance Director with Alliance Defending Freedom and has served there for 9 years. He works with major ministry and denominational leaders across the country on religious liberty issues to ensure that the body of Christ understands the current cultural and legal climate and knows how to respond via the resources available to them through the ADF Church Alliance. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Hbc6ImqeRYuAMA0ntlwcKg” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

However\, welfare programs frequently penalize individuals who take steps toward stability – specifically by penalizing work and marriage. Fortunately\, there are tools to assist church and nonprofit leaders to help their clients understand and\, potentially\, avoid the pitfalls of the welfare system. \nJoin True Charity and Georgia Center for Opportunity for an exploration of GCO’s Welfare Cliff Calculator. You’ll leave this webinar armed with helpful information\, tools\, and strategies so you can confidently create tailored plans that genuinely help your clients succeed. You will also leave better prepared to advocate for reforming a system that is trapping too many of the people in poverty you serve. \n  \nEric Cochling serves as Chief Program Officer and General Counsel at Georgia Center for Opportunity\, managing GCO’s programs and providing legal guidance to the organization. He has played an instrumental role in the development of GCO’s Welfare Cliff Calculator\, a tool designed to help low-income individuals and those who serve them navigate a smooth transition off welfare. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AcIKXZHaSvOqWZqSdax85w” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

We will discuss some best practices of adult education to help you evaluate your current class offerings and/or consider how you may add new ones that connect better with your intended learners. \nJerilyn Sanders serves as Senior Director of US Programs at the Chalmers Center: Jerilyn has a B.A. in Psychology from Biola University and an Ed.M. from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

In theory\, that common vision is a uniting force. In practice\, however\, division runs rampant between organizations with similar goals. If left unchecked\, pride and greed can crowd out the humility and generosity necessary for effective collaboration across organizational lines. How can we combat division in order to see more success in our common mission? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative and Peter Greer\, President and CEO of Hope International\, for an exploration of unifying principles as outlined in his book Rooting for Rivals. We’ll not only learn why collaboration is necessary for advancement\, but how it can be done in a way where everyone wins. \nPeter Greer is the president and CEO of HOPE International\, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa\, Asia\, Latin America\, and Eastern Europe. As an advocate for the Church’s role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty\, Peter has co-authored 15 books\, including Rooting for Rivals (selected as a 2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine)\, Mission Drift (selected as a 2015 Book Award Winner from Christianity Today)\, and The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (selected as one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine). \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UrXp3TXeSt-_I-Y9nnxyGQ” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Why? Because they knew that the real vehicle for transformation of circumstances was through relationship. \nSo often\, though\, our poverty alleviation strategies sure look a lot like tongs: with the best of intentions\, we load people up with food or clothing and send them on our way. But perhaps the real act of mercy more often looks like a willingness to walk alongside the person in poverty on his path and help find the way to smoother trails. But what does it look like to “walk alongside” someone in poverty? Where does one even begin? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative on Tuesday\, August 9th 12-1 pm CST for a panel discussion featuring nonprofit leaders who prioritize relationship-building and have built successful mentoring programs. They’ll share how to get a mentoring program started\, best practices for creating real relationships\, and “lessons learned” along the way. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jWxvr-E8S6Glfe7yLnXzFQ” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ background_layout=”dark” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width=”8px” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:The Trauma-Informed Poverty Fighter: A Webinar with Dave Lockridge
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”] \nThose on the frontlines of poverty alleviation are well-acquainted with the counter-productive\, harmful\, and even bizarre behavior that so often accompanies poverty: stunted emotional development\, lack of self-control\, irrational or risky behavior\, and a propensity for numbing agents such as drugs or alcohol are common issues. \nThe persistence and severity of these problems can be a head scratcher and a headache for poverty fighters. But untangling these deep-seated issues doesn’t have to be a mystery: as it turns out\, there is rhyme and reason behind many of these harmful habits and hang-ups. Trauma\, if left unaddressed\, wreaks havoc on the mind and heart of the person who experienced it\, leaving mental and emotional scars that often manifest themselves as dysfunctional behavior. More frightening still is the tendency of those who have experienced trauma to perpetuate it: using and abusing others\, just as they have been used and abused. \nIs there hope for those who have experienced life’s worst atrocities? Can we help put a stop to the perpetuation of trauma? Is there a way to sensitively and intelligently respond to troubling behaviors? At True Charity\, we give a resounding “yes!” to these questions and invite you to join us for an exploration of the impact and healing of trauma. \nJoin True Charity Initiative for a webinar featuring Dave Lockridge\, Founder and CEO of ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Overcomers. Dave is a recognized leader in the trauma-informed movement both nationally and internationally who takes a scientific yet sensitive approach to issues of trauma. This introductory webinar is perfect for those who need a basic understanding of and strategy for addressing trauma. \nAfter the presentation\, there will be an opportunity to engage Dave for a time of Q&A. True Charity Network members will receive exclusive on-demand access to the recording of the webinar. You can learn more and sign up for the True Charity Network here. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R5MR2S74RYWKhYlLu2-AlA” button_text=”Register for the Webinar” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” sticky_enabled=”0″ button_bg_color=”#E09900″ button_bg_enable_color=”on” button_alignment=”center”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:The Externally Focused Church: A Webinar with Rick Rusaw
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]Jesus teaches His followers to be a “City on a Hill”\, letting their “light shine before others” (Matthew 5:13-16). Furthermore\, scripture is clear that spirit-filled Christians have a duty to care for the poor\, marginalized\, and disenfranchised. For the modern-day church\, these instructions can be simultaneously inspiring and intimidating: How do we carry out this incredible responsibility in an impactful\, meaningful way? What does it look like practically in the day-to-day for the Church to engage the broken? How can we inspire our fellow congregants to get outside the four walls of the church to meet with those who are hurting? \nJoin True Charity Initiative for a webinar featuring Rick Rusaw\, co-author of the popular book The Externally Focused Church\, for an exploration of the Church’s unique role in community development and poverty alleviation efforts. Rick will draw on his years of experience as a pastor of a Colorado church to discuss how your congregation can shift from internally-focused activity to externally-focused impact. You can expect the following: \n\nTips for meaningful collaboration between the church and other resources in the community\nStrategies for welcoming and building healthy relationships with isolated community members\nIdeas for shifting church benevolence from repetitive handout charity to developmental\, relational charity\n\nAfter the presentation\, there will be an opportunity to engage Rick for a time of Q&A. True Charity Network members will receive exclusive on-demand access to the recording of the webinar.
