Strengthening a Korean-Canadian Church Leadership Team by Developing Their Self-Awareness and Knowledge about Communication Styles
No full textBibliography: leaves 172-179.This Research Portfolio is about my leadership development via Tyndale’s Doctor of Ministry program. It includes my Leadership Narrative, Philosophy of Leadership, Ministry Context Analysis and Project Report. As a therapist, I have noticed that an individual’s communication style tremendously impacts—positively or negatively—their relationships. During the program and process of writing this Portfolio, I again witnessed the pivotal role that self-awareness about one’s communication style can play in improving one’s relationships with others and strengthening teamwork. My research project focused on the communication styles of Joy Church's (JC) key leaders and explored how their communication impacted their team building. The methodologies I drew on for this project were Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Ethnographic Research (ER). While the project was neither a PAR project nor an Ethnography, both methodologies inspired me and provided methods that I used. PAR methods helped me and the project participants to stay actively involved from the start to the end of the project. ER methods allowed me to deeply understand the group’s shared culture and behaviours. I applied the insights I gained and helped the leadership team acknowledge and discern the potential drawbacks and benefits of different communication styles. I also discovered that their communication styles were related to cultural factors such as organizational hierarchy and respect for elders. Understanding JC’s ministry culture and discovering its leaders’ values and communication skills improved the leadership team’s communication.Thesis (D.

Developing Leadership Team Vision for the Oakville Community at the Oakville Adventist Company Through Appreciative Inquiry
No full textBibliography: leaves 215-220.Oakville Adventist Company (OSDA) was a congregation that had not been growing and had no active presence in the community of Oakville. To help address these concerns, a leadership retreat was designed and implemented that used Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a process to help the leadership team develop a clear vision for outreach to the community of Oakville. There were seven leaders who participated, and the outcomes of the retreat were analyzed. The project was aimed at facilitating the development of leadership team vision for the residents living in this community. Using AI processes, the leadership team looked at the vision for the Oakville community, developed a vision statement and committed to designing ways to serve the community needs. Findings from the research project indicated that participants developed a vision and a mindset to explore new possibilities to make an impact on the Oakville community.Thesis (D.

Developing a Method for Growing in Intimacy with the Triune God Through Knowing, Being and Doing
No full textBibliography: leaves 159-163.In this Research Portfolio, the author develops a method for growing in intimacy with God, through faith in Jesus Christ, empowered by the Spirit using the metaphor of a fruit bearing tree. The method is developed in three parts. The first part is a spiritual autobiography where the author describes his life in Christ: Seed (Life before Christ), Death (New Life in Christ), Rooted (Learning from Christ), Pruning (Suffering with Christ). The second part is a spiritual formation model exploring how we grow in maturity in Christ: we discover our true identity in relation to Christ (know), as we abide in Christ (be) by intentionally practicing spiritual disciplines, and over time, we bear the fruit of the Spirit in Christ (do). The third part is a research project that reproduces the knowing-being-doing model in the context of a spiritual direction relationship, where the participants are led to use their imagination in prayer. As the participants connect with God using their imagination, their experience of God deepens, and the fruit is a positive change in their relationship with God.Thesis (D.

Being Transformed to Help Others Transform: Exploring Spiritual Formation and the Life-Changing Power of Lectio Divina
No full textBibliography: leaves 199-203.This Research Portfolio explores the theme “Being Transformed to Help Others Transform: Exploring Spiritual Formation and The Life-Changing Power of Lectio Divina.” It encompasses the knowledge of God, self-awareness, and a transformative model to guide others on their path to Christlikeness. The author's spiritual autobiography reveals God's profound impact on his life, inspiring a ministry of reconciliation and growth in Christlikeness. The Model of Spiritual Formation postulates that nurturing mature Christians involves guiding them to embody Christ's essence, engaging with diverse cultures, honing expertise, and multiplying their transformative influence. The Research Project rigorously tested a facet of this Model with a small group from a local community church in Scarborough, ON. The findings validate the effectiveness of lectio divina as an impactful tool for spiritual transformation.
Through this journey, lectio divina emerged as a formidable and indispensable practice in facilitating the spiritual formation of individuals, propelling them towards Christlikeness. This Research Portfolio uncovers new horizons of understanding and practical application, illuminating the path to profound spiritual growth and metamorphosis.Thesis (D.

Christian-based Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy for East Asian Canadians and Findings from the CSPEARIT Study
No full textThere is a paucity of literature in the use of spiritually integrated psychotherapy with clients of East Asian descent. A wide variety of spiritual interventions are utilized in Christian-based spiritually integrated psychotherapy with East Asian Canadians, and more types of interventions may not necessarily lead to better outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of Christian-based spiritually integrated psychotherapy in Ontario, Canada, focused on East Asian Canadians. Some references are made to findings from the Christian-Based Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy for East Asians Research Initiative of Toronto (CSPEARIT) project conducted as part of the Bridges Consortium for Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. The study had three recruitment sites, all outpatient centers located in Toronto, Canada: (a) Tyndale University, which includes Tyndale Counselling Services, serving the student population, and Tyndale Family Life Centre, serving clients coming from the surrounding communities; (b) Grace Health Centre; and (c) Living Water Counselling Centre301-324Permission for digitization cannot be granted by the American Psychological AssociationFor AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]://psycnet.apa.org/search/results?id=c1eccc5d-c748-7b77-a156-dfa0aa48594b&tab=PB&sort=PublicationYearMSSort%20desc,AuthorSort%20asc&display=25&page=
The Lighthouse Foundation: Discovering the Underlying Reasons that Prevented Its Launch, While Understanding Leadership When Faced With Failure
No full textBibliography: leaves 146-151.The focus of this research portfolio was to discover the reasons that prevented the Lighthouse Foundation from launching. The Lighthouse Foundation is a non-profit ministry initiated by, but separate from the church, The HUB/New Beginnings Ministries in Toronto, Ontario where the researcher is the Associate Pastor. The purpose of the Lighthouse Foundation was specifically designed as an evangelistic opportunity for The HUB to have a presence in the community, and to create relationships with the residents by providing a variety of community based programs.
The research portfolio includes chapters on the researcher’s leadership development, philosophy of Christian leadership, and action research project that determined why the Lighthouse Foundation failed to launch.
The methodology used was evaluative research with selected church members as insider participants. Data collection was in the form of one key informant interview, along with two focus groups consisting of nine participants, which were facilitated by a Tyndale University colleague with predetermined questions. Outcomes of the research landed primarily on three areas: busy lifestyles, the lack of clarity of communication, and the need for training leaders. These findings also helped the researcher to understand that the vision was too unrealistic to achieve without the necessary skill-sets and volunteers needed for a successful project.Thesis (D.
