Desire, Imagination, Story, and Imago Dei: A Multi-Method Exploration of Selected Elements of Spiritual Formation
No full textBibliography: pages 156-168.Desire, imagination, story and the imago Dei are critical elements of Christian Spiritual formation. Throughout recent years, scholarship on spiritual formation has acknowledged these elements; however, a more extensive reflection on the potential of each, as well as their interconnection has been needed. Through the methods of composing a spiritual autobiography, interacting with biographies, engaging in autoethnographic research and building theoretical model, this portfolio highlights each element and its dynamic interconnection in the process of spiritual formation. Awareness of the critical nature of each element arose from reflection on the author’s life bolstered by a review of relevant literature. As each factor came to light, the profound interconnection of all four became apparent and became the impetus for intentional choice of research methods and the design of this document. Key findings include the importance of desire as motivation, imagination as means, story as context and the imago Dei as the goal or telos in both human and spiritual development, as well as the potential for the use and study of autobiographical writing, biographical reflection and autoethnography as transformational exercise.Thesis (D.

An Exploration of Trauma-Informed Care in Christian Ministry and Leadership Through the Lens of Internal Family Systems
No full textBibliography: pages 200-207.This portfolio explores the role of church and ministry leaders in providing faith-based trauma-informed care. It explores the author’s personal and ministry context and the way it influences the author’s understanding of the topic. It includes a description of the author’s philosophy of Christian ministry and leadership through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and draws on the Biblical examples of the woman who reached to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment (Matthew 9:19-22; Mark 5:24-34; Luke 8:42b-48) and the woman at the well (John 4:1-42). This portfolio also includes a field research project that explored the perceptions, experiences, and competencies of church and ministry leaders in caring for members of their congregation and community who have experienced trauma. The research findings highlighted the importance of understanding trauma and the impact on the individual, the foundational importance of trust in the relationship, the value and need for collaborating with mental health professionals and service agencies, the need for education and training to be able to respond effectively to individuals seeking care, the importance of care for caregiver, and the recognition that ultimately, it is God who provides healing. The findings have the potential to help inform training programs and resources for church and ministry leaders to better care for members of their congregation and community who have experienced trauma.Thesis (D.

My Ministry at Bethesda Evangelical Baptist Church: The Young Adults and The COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textBibliography: pages 143-145.I am the senior pastor of Bethesda Evangelical Baptist Church (BEBC) in Montreal, where the Lord Himself had led me for about four decades. This portfolio describes the journey that had led me here, the context of my leadership, as well as my understanding of how I lead there. Throughout all these years, the BEBC has always been characterized by the presence and involvement of many young people in relation to its size. The COVID-19 pandemic came as a surprise to everyone, including our church, which had to reinvent itself to deal with the many challenges faced particularly by young adults. In my role as leader of this church with the heart of a shepherd that the Lord gave me to carry out this ministry, I had to continue to shepherd his flock. Thus, was born the urgency of my research project—with the objective of understanding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the most affected group of our church and of identifying the best way to help them emerge stronger and better equipped for the future. Hence the title of my research: “My Ministry at Bethesda Evangelical Baptist Church: Young Adults and the COVID-19 Pandemic.” A group of eight participants composed of young adults and church stakeholders explored with us the reality of young adults’ life in the church before, during, and after the pandemic. The method used for this research was based on Stringer’s action research (2014, 8). It was supported by the 4-D cycle of Appreciative Inquiry (Sensing 2011, 170). The results of the analysis highlighted the importance of encouraging and mentoring the young adults in our churches. I also collaborated with our church leaders to serve differently, and more intentionally.Thesis (D.

Providing Family Community Service Opportunities to Strengthen Spiritual Growth in Parents at Calvary Church, Dunnville
No full textBibliography: pages 152-161.In this Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Research Portfolio, the author explored how spiritual growth was developed in parents when they participated in community service with their children. Developing spiritual growth was the first step in discipling parents as part of a strategy to equip them to better disciple their children. The author’s three children’s ministry department heads and their spouses were the test group for this project which utilized some aspects of Participatory Action Research. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) was also used with the six participants to determine where to serve: once at Dunnville’s Salvation Army and once at Dunnville’s Youth Impact Centre. The Salvation Army opportunity allowed learning about the need for a food bank in Dunnville, and hands-on experience unloading, sorting and organizing donated food. At the Youth Impact Centre, the participants experienced cooking a community supper and then eating with the attendees. Results from surveys and interviews showed that the participating parents saw limited spiritual growth in their lives as a result of participating in community service with their families. Generally, most participants saw some spiritual growth as they gained a better sense of the needs and more compassion for those who needed help in Dunnville. Some experienced more of God’s direction in how their families could serve in the community, and through their example and family discussions, some became better spiritual mentors for their children. The author also documented her unexpected spiritual growth that resulted from studying her town, church, and ministry contexts, developing her philosophy of Christian leadership, implementing the research project and her D.Min. in Leadership journey at Tyndale University. She gained a better understanding of her ministry and community and how God called her to partner with him in mission—discipling others to be sent.Thesis (D.
