What is the course content?

This provides an introductory overview of what Refocussing is about, with some of the psychological and theological background that is fundamental to the theory and practice of Refocussing. 

Specifically, the course  is designed to be a highly interactive learning and teaching experience so that the participants have fun, learn about themselves and their relationship with God in a safe, caring context. 

The course is designed to help people ‘see’ that the Refocussing way of living, is about  gaining knowledge, skills and ‘tools’ to ‘go where God is’ and gain God’s perspective on how to live life with His presence so that you are more  empowered to achieve all that He has for you as an individual, a family, a community,a society and so on,  by including Him in all aspects of your lives, including the past (where have you come from?) the present (where are you now in your journey) the future (where are you going, your goals, hopes and aspirations) and most importantly gaining workable strategies to achieve the vision, goals, dreams that he has for each person.

The course introduces the participants (with activities and  exercises, specifically designed by Dr Divett, resulting from her years of her educational, psychological and theological knowledge and experience), to the following concepts:

• ‘Godspaces’ a way to encounter and experience God in a way that is predictable, reliable and repeatable, so that 
• a sense of God’s love, safety, care and closeness is provided at all times throughout the course (and as a routine part of their daily lives);
• But also learning to use only the language and experiences provided by the person ‘talking’ so that a  ’clean language’  approach (adapted from David Grove) is valued and applied as people examine…
• intergenerational and family influences – a safe ‘look’ at the past to examine…
• family households and the messages that we embrace consciously/subconsciously learning how these messages can..
• affect us in our thinking, feeling and behaving, and at times can even…
• create division in our personality  in such a way that we live and act out of different parts of us,  described by the apostle Paul in Romans chapter 7 (the Message version) as ‘ parts of us that covertly sabotage our best intentions’; and therefore how we can learn to…
• map and understand these ‘parts’ so that we can then by ‘Refocussing’ on God via our Godspaces be empowered to…
•  ’put off the old and put on the new’ by ‘seeing’ the new and learning ‘how to go there’ and leave behind the old patterns those things that hold people captive in their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, in accordance with learning to apply the scripture that it is by ‘Divine power that we demolish strongholds’ (2 Cor. 10:4-6), so that people are then free to…
• examine the vision, the goals, the hope the future that God for each one of us in accordance with the numerous scriptures that detail God’s intention that we do indeed live the abundant and full life that he has designed for each one of us   (Gen 1:22; Ps 20; Ps 33; Jeremiah 29:11-14; John 10.10; Heb 12:1-2)
