To help you answer these questions, we first ask you to fill in a copy
of the simple Personal Development
and The Meaning of Your Life Story © graph shown
below. You will be using the entries you make on your graph later in the
presentation to help sort out why you might have behaved the way you
did during that particular 5 year period in your life.
Next, we use an interactive
power
point presentation to help each participant better understand how and why people
make decisions, especially
during a personal crisis. Two models of human behavior
will be discussed:
- The Psychosacred
System of Human Behavior© Fallen Image Model will be
used to demonstrate how unstable
your life can be if you decide
to change the direction and
purpose
for your life everytime something new and
different comes along, especially
during a personal crisis
- The Psychosacred
System of Human Behavior© Redeemed Image Model will
be used to demonstrate how The
Creator has provided you
with a single
purpose for your life, and promised
never to leave or forsake you, especially during
a personal crisis
And finally, we address
any questions you might have regarding the entries you made earlier on your Personal
Development
and The Meaning of Your Life Story © graph, that is:
- why and
how changes occurred during your
life
- the "doubt-decision-guilt-anxiety"
cycle that occurs when Christ is not part of your life
- the "decision-forgiveness-grace"
cycle that occurs when Christ is
part of your life
