The Mid-Faith Crisis: Introducing Evangelicals to the Dark Night of the Soul
No full textBibliography: leaves 152-157.The mid-faith crisis is a qualitative shift in our faith experience as God weans us of the spiritual delights lavished upon us in the initial stages of faith and leads us on an inner journey of awareness, repentance, and surrender. This typically occurs in middle age and often in the midst of successful ministry, so it is often misdiagnosed as falling away from faith rather than progressing in faith. Such strong medicine is necessary because it addresses a serious affliction: the false self which has smuggled itself unseen into the Christian life and forms the great obstacle between us and God as well as us and those around us. Through the mid-faith crisis, God invites us to lay aside the false self and its tools for navigating life, accept who we really are, and to grow ever more into our identity as the beloved of the Father. While the mid-faith crisis is divinely initiated and sustained, there is room for human participation in the work.
This research portfolio explores the author’s own mid-faith crisis, proposes a model for the phenomenon and reports the results of an action research project to develop and deliver a curriculum that introduces conservative Evangelicals to the mid-faith crisis. It concludes by identifying further potential development of the model and the curriculum.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2019.This is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale University College & Seminary.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] -- Spiritual Autobiography -- Model of Spiritual Formation -- Action Research Project -- Conclusio
The Triadic Relationship of Loneliness, Belongingness and Emotional Intelligence
No full textBibliography: leaves 52-57.Research has demonstrated that a relationship exists between loneliness, belongingness, and emotional intelligence. However, as of yet, there has not been a study that focuses on the potential reciprocal relationship between these three variables over time. I predicted that high levels of loneliness would lead to decreased levels of emotional intelligence and belongingness over time, that high levels of emotional intelligence would lead to decreased loneliness and increased belongingness over time, and that high levels of belongingness would lead to decreased loneliness and increased emotional intelligence over time. Of the 125 university undergraduate students who participated, 38 participated at both test times. At each test time, one in the fall and one in the winter semester, the participants completed loneliness, belongingness, emotional intelligence, and demographic inventories. Data analysis supported a strong correlation between loneliness, belongingness, and emotional intelligence, but the findings did not support the reciprocal relationship that I had predicted would exist between the three variables. More research should be carried out in order to examine the interaction between these variables while making use of a larger sample size.Thesis (B.A. Honours)--Tyndale University College and Seminary, 2019.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] -- Method -- Results -- Discussion -- Reference
Developing Leaders Who Lead like Jesus in the Context of the Rapidly Growing Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church
No full textBibliography: leaves 184-187.This project had a transformative impact on the character and in the lives of leaders of nine zones and five special districts of the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC). During the project, they reported that they developed more Christ-centered leadership skills to lead like Jesus. The MentorLink Passing it On and Leaders Covenant resources challenged the leaders to examine their personal lives in relation to their own family and church ministry. Using two cycles of Action Research, the general secretaries of the nine zones and five special districts of the EKHC were given training to "lead like Jesus," were taught biblical transformation of character to live and lead like Jesus and were engaged in collaborative planning and action to implement structural change in the zones that had been carried on successfully. The process helped the leaders to closely know each other and build a sense of family both at the zonal and the special district levels. Through the methodologies of narrative research and auto-ethnographic research, the project measured the perception of behavioral change of these leaders using pre-training and post-training questionnaires and journaling following each training cycle to describe how the training was applied. The project revealed three crucial areas that require further change and transformation:
1. It identified how far church leadership had drifted from Christ-centered leadership and the urgent need of reformation. EKHC needs to prayerfully select and develop competent ministers to train in the well-established formal and informal theological training programs. The MentorLink material must be used as one of important tools in the institutions.
2. Structural change must be made to facilitate fast communication for the rapid growth of EKHC.
3. A leadership development movement is needed for EKHC to achieve balanced growth in both quality and quantity.Thesis (D.

Labyrinths and Gospel Contemplation in a Wesleyan Context
Get PDFBibliography: leaves 223-236Spiritual formation is the process of following Jesus and how we become like him. Although some view this process as a linear experience, the pattern of a labyrinth is another way to describe this spiritual journey. The image of a labyrinth is not only used as the model of spiritual formation, but is also the metaphor employed throughout a spiritual autobiography and a summary of a ministry research project. Research was conducted at Holt Free Methodist Church and involved a small group that had the opportunity to walk a canvas labyrinth while practicing Gospel contemplation. A narrative methodology was used for interpreting the data that was collected through field notes, the use of a denominational survey, and exit interviews. Just as individuals walk a labyrinth at an unique pace, the same result is seen in the practice of Gospel contemplation.
The uniqueness of an individual is a key component to the process of spiritual formation. The outcome of this research project resulted in spiritual growth for the researcher, the participants and the congregation in general.Thesis (D.
