What You’ll Learn

It is vitally important that you know who God has called you to be as His ambassador for freedom and healing. But it is just as important that you know what you are not called to be! In this session we dive into the important characteristics of an “ambassador of freedom”, understanding your role in other people’s lives (as opposed to God’s role in their lives), knowing who you can help and who you cannot help (yet), and having a firm grasp on when outside help is needed.
It is so important to remember that helping someone who is hurting is much more complex than just fixing the eternal issues/struggle. We’re called to help others discover the root causes to their struggles and to disciple them into a relationship with Jesus where He can bring healing and transformation at a root level in their lives. In this session, we unpack the concept of the “why” behind people’s “what”.
In this session, we dive into the importance of understanding the source of people’s pain, how Jesus responded to hurting people, how to love someone who is struggling well (including key principles of listening and responding to them), and we discuss more about what’s happening under the surface of the struggles in our lives.
It is vitally important for you to establish safeguards for yourself when working with hurting people, because your best gift to others is a healthy you! In this session, we will discuss very practical safeguards that you can build into your life to ensure that you are as healthy as you can be for the people that you are helping.
Hearing from God is foundational to every key to freedom that we will discuss. We believe that true and lasting freedom is not possible outside of the presence and truth of God that He communicates with us. We will discuss God as a relational God, explore some of the ways that He may communicate with us, and talk about how to discern His voice.

We will unpack the keys to freedom that have proven transformational to thousands of hurting people since 1983:
Key 1: Total Commitment to Christ
Key 2: Healing Life’s Hurts
Key 3: Renewing the Mind
Key 4: Choosing to Forgive
Key 5: Breaking Generational Patterns
Key 6: Using Your Authority in Christ
Key 7: Maintaining Lifelong Freedom

“I highly recommend attending the MPower Workshop for any and every Christian, from newly born-again to senior saints! You will be changed because of it!”

Why MPower?

We know what it’s like to feel the weight of people’s brokenness and the desire to effectively help them. But so few people feel equipped to help others in a way that results in true life transformation. At MPower, you will receive practical insights and action steps that you will not only be able to put to work in your own life, but in the lives of all those you love and care for. 

Teaching sessions at the MPower Workshop are led by a team of Mercy staff members who have a vast amount of education and experience in counseling and ministering to hurting people in a wide variety of settings, including professional counseling and church pastoral ministry.

Mercy’s residential program specifically helps young women, but the MPower Workshop is created to equip anyone who serves in a “helping” role with men or women of any age. We desire to stand shoulder to shoulder in this fight for the full freedom Jesus died to give us all.

“Everything about the workshop was so informative and can be put to use! Because of my time at MPower, I feel better equipped to help people and safeguard myself in the process.”

“One of the best things you can do for your people is to bring in Mercy Multiplied to train them! The entire day was filled with important teaching so that our church could be better equipped to help hurting people. If you want your people to recognize bondage and to affectionately direct conversations with people who are hurting, THIS is the training they will need!”

Rev. Lynn Holmes
Pastor of Calvary Church, CEO of Calvary Pictures, Memphis, TN
