DOXOLOGY II

“Soul Care & Sex:  Pastoral Care for Chaotic Times”

February 6-8, 2023

Lindenwood Retreat & Conference Center — Donaldson, IN

DOXOLOGY is pleased to offer precisely the program that DOX grads have requested for several years.

The culture continues to lurch out of control in areas of sexual morality, natural law, ethics and common sense. The bipartisan passage of the (wrongly titled) “Respect for Marriage Act” signals that a destructive definition of marriage has been validated. Pastors are increasingly challenged to provide spiritual care for souls adrift in life-altering sin or for those who struggle with decision-making regarding cohabitation, Godly marriage, sexual identity, gender confusion, marital disaffection and homosexual relationships.

DOX II 2023 will provide significant assistance for pastors seeking to care for their people. Rooted deeply in Biblical truth, pastoral care must continue to diagnose properly the state of the soul, and address spiritual needs with truth, wisdom and confidence.  Pastors need to speak difficult truths patiently and in love, realizing that not all parishioners will want to hear it.

Pastors will find that Soul Care & Sex will equip them with genuine assistance for their teaching, preaching and provision of spiritual care for their sheep and lambs.  Mutual conversation and consolation with brothers in office will allow for excellent informal opportunities to explore matters of pastoral casuistry. Naturally, the conference will provide encouragement, counsel, and the spiritual refreshment of worship throughout the event.
