Restoring & Identity Re-Centering™ — Facilitator Guide
Guide people through the most personal formation work in the series — with pastoral depth and full preparation.
⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.
Participants in this workshop are naming displacement they may have never fully articulated, releasing agreements that have been quietly governing their self-understanding, and receiving covenant declarations that their actual lived experience has been contradicting. That is some of the most tender, most personal formation work in the Mantled for Marriage™ series. Leading it well requires pastoral preparation that matches the weight of what participants bring into the room. This guide provides it.
