Survival Lies

One of the resources we use in our LifeChange Program is called the Genesis Process. In a nutshell, it's a relapse prevention model.

According to their own defination,

The Genesis Process is an integration of Biblical precepts for personal change, proven relapse prevention techniques, cognitive therapy principles, and the latest neurochemistry research relating to human behavior.

For the first time in history we can answer the question "Why do we do the very thing we don't want to do"? (Romans 7: 15-23)

One thing I like about most of the material we use in our Life & Social Skills classes, is that it is applicable to the common person. John Bradford, an English protestant martyr, said, "There but for the grace of God go I," whenever he saw criminals being led off to their execution.

Sometimes people ask me, "How can you work with those people?

Let me fill you in on a little secret. In my brief 15 years of ministry, there is something I have learned over and over again. We're all messed up!!

We all say and do things we have promised ourselves, others and God that we would never do again. We have all made "new year's resolutions" that we have broken.

The Genesis Process gets to the bottom of why we do the things we do. It exposes self-defeating behaviours by taking into consideration the neuro chemical processes of the brain, and how it affects our thinking. It trains us to recognize the false beliefs we live with that are from the devil, others, and ourselves. Things we have had to believe in order to survive.

We are into the first week of our new fiscal year. Our budget for the Genesis Process is $700. If you can help defray this cost, please make a donation and mark it "Genesis." For more information on the Process as presented by Michael Dye, CADC, NCAC II, click on the title bar of this blog posting.
