Ministry Equipping Tools

Equip your ministry with a biblically-based process for addressing the deep pain that often leads to addiction.  It is our privilege to share with you the tools the Lord has shared with us.  We believe the application of these tools will make your ministry transformationally rich

Specifically, they will keep yourself, your family and your ministry free of addiction by providing a process for spiritually managing pain.  Here you will find a few of our resources that are specifically designed for pastors and church leaders.
 

"David Eckman isolates the issues people have and gives solutions in a way that's fresh and profoundly biblical. I strongly urge you to get Becoming Who God Intended and put it to work in your life." - Josh McDowell, author of More Than a Carpenter and dozens of other books and resources
