Special Programs at Rejoice!

"Living Your Strengths"

Living Your Strengths is a program produced by the Gallup Organization that emphasizes the philosophy that, “You are at your best when you do what you naturally do best.”

Participants receive a copy of the book and journal, Living Your Strengths, and take an online survey that reveals their top five themes of talent.  

The journey consists of six sessions in a small group setting exploring the top themes of talent for each participant by:

• defining and understanding the themes

• observing themes in everyday activities and relationships

• discussing how others see these themes in you

• recognizing how our themes drive the activities to which we are drawn

• learning how these top themes can be used to manage weaknesses

• creating a vision for the future use of our God given talents in every area of our lives, including the church.

Opportunities to participant in a Living Your Strength Journey occur on an ongoing basis.  Check the Beat and web-site for current information.  You may also contact either Pastor Brad Meyer, pastormeyer@rejoiceomaha.org  or Tina Molineu, tina@rejoiceomaha.org for further information.  They can also be reached by phone at 334-1999.
