Imagine, for a moment, a woman who has overcome the initial stages of divorce and has surrendered to a new life free from the chains of her broken marriage. She stands at a crossroads with her emotional and spiritual bags packed, yet she is not sure where it is she is going exactly. She is poised and prepared for greatness as she begins a new life, but her road map is crumpled and torn and she needs a visual guide to help her on her way. She has survived the crisis stage of divorce and is ready to pick up the pieces and move forward, but she just doesn't know what resources are available to her as she begins this exciting journey.
Emerge Victorious is proud to offer this DVD Video Series Curriculum designed specifically for single-again women who are ready to transform beyond the early stages of divorce as they move into the next phase of their lives. This 12-part-series delves into topics critical to the challenges these women face in areas such as dating, finances, co-parenting and sexuality and provides insight from nationally-acclaimed professionals and other women who are walking the same transformational journey. The purpose, passion and power behind this important video series is to connect women through authentic community, whether watching and learning individually, in a group or working alongside a professional. Each video is designed as a resource for women who are taking an honest look at their emerging life scan, creating a vision from which to grow and walking towards the full life they desire.
Whether you are a professional in practice, church group or ministry, organized group or individual, the Next Steps Video Series Curriculum can be customized to every need.
As a Professional: you see women with different challenges and you are seeking ways to help them move past divorce. Perhaps you have identified one who is about to make a bad decision when it comes to dating - too soon after her divorce - and you want her to complete the Dating video and workbook. Or you have a group of women working in sessions that want to grow together by completing multiple Discussions in the series. You can tailor this curriculum to meet all your needs.
As a Church group or ministry: some of the toughest challenges women face are the guilt and shame they feel towards divorce and faith. This curriculum fosters forgiveness, growth and community as the program assists Christian women on their spriritual journey and the phases after divorce. The Series is designed to be customizable for all needs - whether it be large groups, small groups or for individual needs.
As a Group: perhaps you have teamed up with other women to grow together after divorce or you are part of a women's Bible study seeking a structured curriculum - the Next Steps Series can be tailored for your specific needs or as a broader study of related topics.
As an Individual: you have left the past behind and you are ready to move forward with your life, but you really want to do so at your own pace and in the comforts of your own setting (physical and emotional). We invite you to use the DVD series to feel surrounded by women who are just like you and have experienced what you are going through now.
Workbooks are available to accompany each video and are an important part of the curriculum as the written exercises and open discussion forums go hand-in-hand with the DVDs. While some content may be challenging to work through, it is this type of personal reflection and insight that will encourage, equip and empower women on their spiritual, physical and emotional journey.
For years, we (Sandra and Jennifer) heard from divorced women, leaders in the church, divorce recovery facilitators, counselors and coaches that a curriculum was needed to help women survive and thrive after divorce. We hope that this series offers the Next Steps for those seeking growth by surrendering to the past and committing to rebuilding the future after divorce and stepping into the life that God has waiting on them.
