Resilience seminar
This slideshow was part of a presentation in an adult education seminar in my church. I studied the impact of prayer on resilience for my Doctorate of Ministry.
Health chapter 4 jess
This document discusses maintaining spiritual, physical, and social health as a Christian. It emphasizes that accepting Jesus' sacrifice provides spiritual life, developing a relationship with God through prayer and Bible study promotes spiritual health, and treating others with courtesy and thoughtfulness fosters healthy relationships and obedience to God's commandments.
Having good spiritual health
Having good spiritual health requires being rooted in Christ through a relationship with God. When people keep their hearts anchored in God's love, they can withstand trials and the enemy. To maintain spiritual health requires daily surrendering to God's love and grace by laying down pride and sin to follow Christ, letting go of the past, and spending time with God while being content with one's circumstances. Spiritual health is an ongoing process of surrendering one's life and will to God.

Rev Fr Dr Clarence Devadass - End of Life Care - A Catholic Perspective
This document provides a Catholic perspective on end of life care. It discusses several foundational principles, including that human life is a sacred gift from God and that all people have inherent dignity. It outlines principles for end of life care, such as providing adequate pain relief and palliative care. The document addresses some difficult questions that can arise, such as distinguishing ordinary from extraordinary medical treatment and the permissibility of do-not-resuscitate orders. It concludes that ethical decision making at the end of life requires reflection and discussion between medical providers, patients, and families.
Bibliography for Additional Reading
The document provides a bibliography of 8 books recommended for additional reading on health, nutrition, weight loss and disease prevention. The books cover topics like healthy eating, anti-aging, integrative nutrition, listening to your body's needs, nutrient-rich diets, reversing heart disease through nutrition, dangers of sugar and simple carbs, and a scientifically proven program for health, weight loss and longevity.
Trial and testimony 2
The document summarizes the early history of Christianity and its relationship with Judaism and the Roman Empire. It discusses how Christianity was initially tolerated by Jews but faced persecution after conflicts arose. It then examines how Christians defined their beliefs through creeds in response to theological questions and accusations against their faith. The response to persecution involved some becoming martyrs, confessors, or apostates. However, persecution ultimately helped spread Christianity more rapidly as believers stood firm in their faith.
Secular humanism
1. The greatest barrier to presenting the Christian gospel to a secular humanist would be their none belief in God and view that morals are determined by society rather than religion. They do not see the Bible as a reliable source for how to live.
2. A personal challenge would be frustration with some of their beliefs that seem ridiculous from a Christian perspective, such as not believing in the soul or spirit. Prayer and allowing the Holy Spirit to work would be important before witnessing in order to avoid making it a personal argument.
3. Kindness, love, and patience should be shown rather than condemnation. Allowing one's actions to demonstrate God's love and goodness may help lead someone to reconsider their views over

Ahimsa
The document discusses the concept of ahimsa or nonviolence in Hinduism and Jainism. It explains that Jainism emerged as some Indians disagreed with Hindu beliefs and were influenced by the teachings of Mahavira in the 600s, who emphasized nonviolence and avoiding harm to any living thing over rituals. Nonviolence, called ahimsa, involves not injuring or killing any life and was practiced seriously by Jains and also Hindus to varying degrees. The document gives historical examples of how ahimsa was embraced by Gandhi in India's independence movement and preached by religious figures like Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr.

Christians: Better Wellbeing and Less Guilt
Practicing Christians have better wellbeing and less guilt. We surveyed a church to assess the influence of guilt on wellbeing.
Religious and ethical systems
The three major monotheistic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These religions share some common beliefs but also have key differences in their origins, practices, and laws. When researching the 10 facts about each religion, focus on their core beliefs, rituals, and rules rather than extensive historical details.
Predicting life meaning and satisfaction with religious & spiritual struggles
(2015, March). Presented at the Midyear Research Conference on Religion and Spirituality, Provo, Utah.
Abstract:
Religiousness is known to relate positively to well-being and meaning in life within the North American population. Evidence suggests complexities in these relationships; for example, meaning may mediate the relationship between well-being and religiousness. Other religious constructs have attracted empirical research recently, including religious doubt and conflict with God. The Religious & Spiritual Struggles (RSS) Scale measures six such forms of religious and spiritual struggle, including divine, demonic, moral, interpersonal, ultimate meaning, and doubt struggles. To what extent do these various religious constructs uniquely predict cognitive well-being? Does their emphasis on spiritual and religious problems differentiate them from religiousness per se? Do predictive relationships support theories that distinguish meaning from life satisfaction as separate correlates of religiousness? To investigate, we fit a structural equation model to responses from a sample of 2,611 undergraduates from the USA. This model predicted meaning in life and life satisfaction separately from eight religious constructs, including the six forms of spiritual struggle, religious belief salience, and religious participation. Results demonstrated the importance of measuring each construct independently, as some but not all struggles predicted unique variance in meaning and well-being when controlling for religious belief salience and participation. This establishes the incremental value of involving spiritual and religious struggles in predictive models of well-being based on religious traits. Patterns of regression coefficients differed when predicting meaning in life versus life satisfaction, and model fit worsened when constraining paths to be equal for life satisfaction and meaning in life. This supports the discriminant validity of these strongly related yet distinct aspects of cognitive well-being. The different lists of independent predictors for these well-being constructs may help elucidate their complex connections with religion and spirituality.
Truth is faith(1)
Søren Kierkegaard was a 19th century Danish philosopher who dedicated his life to explaining the concept of authentic existence. For Kierkegaard, individuals progress through three stages of existence: 1) the aesthetic stage focused on pleasure, 2) the ethical stage focused on duty, and 3) the religious stage characterized by faith as a subjective "leap" involving uncertainty and paradox. Kierkegaard defined truth as an objective uncertainty held with passionate inwardness, the highest truth attainable. For Kierkegaard, faith is a subjective, personal commitment to attain eternal happiness through accepting subjectivity in an "either-or" situation of decision-making.

4) A case study of a COVID patient where the chaplain facilitated discussion around expectations and restrictions.
Rel 101 secular humanism and postmodernism
This document discusses humanism and its criticisms of religion. It notes that humanism sees humankind as capable of reaching its potential without religion, stresses individual autonomy, and is linked to modernity. Modernity emphasized evidence, progress, and dismissed religious ethics. The 1933 Humanist Manifesto stated that traditional religions were powerless to solve 20th century problems. Notable humanists included John Dewey, Albert Einstein, and Kurt Vonnegut. Postmodernism reacted against modernism's emphasis on reason and progress, instead stressing experience and uncertainty. Postmodern theology focuses on human weakness and nonsensory religious experiences over doctrines.

The review provides practical suggestions for rehabilitation professionals on how to enhance religious coping strategies, train on religious issues, and conduct future research on rehabilitation and religion.
Health and spirituality
The document discusses health and spirituality. It begins by clarifying the differences and similarities between religion, spirituality, and faith. While these terms are often used interchangeably, spirituality is generally used as a broad term to describe a person's religious or faith beliefs without specifying a particular tradition. The document then discusses how thinking about health in terms of presence of well-being rather than just absence of sickness affects perspectives on the relationship between health and religious/spiritual factors. It suggests clinical care should include spiritual assessment and ensure availability of spiritual care aligned with a patient's beliefs.
Self measures for_love_and_compassion_research_spiritual_well_being

The author suggests a respectful approach to discussing spirituality with patients and hopes to stimulate interest in further studying this topic to benefit primary care in Brazil.
What is spirituality part 1
This document discusses the relationship between spirituality and health. It defines spirituality and notes that while often associated with religion, personal spirituality can exist outside of religion. Several studies show that spiritual practices and beliefs are associated with improved health outcomes such as faster recovery from surgery, lower blood pressure, and better coping with chronic illnesses. Qualities of faith, hope, forgiveness, love, social support, and prayer are found to positively impact immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems and reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. Certain religious groups also demonstrate healthier lifestyles and longer lifespans. While spirituality may benefit many conditions, it does not guarantee health and inappropriate spiritual guidance could potentially harm patients.

Churches as Primary Partners in Community Health
In many communities churches are a primary partner in community health. By uniting the best practices of public health and congregational-based principles emphasizing wellness, wholeness, prevention, and education, churches can influence people's values and life choices, and enable them to assume responsibility for their own health. A survey conducted by the Congregational Health ReSource, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Health Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy, will report the findings from four rural communities that participated in a pilot congregational health assessment.

Many churches with health ministries understand the concept of congregational health. For those churches that don't already have health ministries, this concept provides a way of improving the health of church members without increasing the existing workload of leadership. When introduced to the idea of congregational health, most churches are eager to begin developing health ministries. How can we leverage churches as a force multiplier to decrease gaps in health equity, develop partnerships, and educate the public?

The Brief RCOPE
The Brief RCOPE is a 14-item short form of the longer RCOPE measure of religious coping. It assesses two overarching forms of religious coping - positive religious coping and negative religious coping. Positive religious coping reflects a secure relationship with God and spiritual support, while negative religious coping reflects spiritual struggles and tensions. Studies have found the Brief RCOPE has good internal consistency and construct validity. In particular, the negative religious coping subscale has been shown to predict various health outcomes. The Brief RCOPE provides a concise way to measure religious coping in research and clinical settings.
Relationship between Spirituality and mental healthResearch .docx
Relationship between Spirituality and mental health
Research has proved that there is a link between spirituality and mental health. In the past people believed that religion had a bad influence to health, but the current research reveals that the linkage is even more complex (Paloutzian & park, 2013). The title shows the impact of religion and spirituality on physical health. Studies have revealed that spirituality can serve as a psychological and social source for coping with stress (Kavar, 2012). Also many people such as Sigmund Freud believed that those who followed religion and spirituality where mentally sick therefore didn't have the right frame of mind. this is the problem that many can link the two together but evidence has shown that there is truth in this subject I you would research further at (Kavar, 2012)., Wikipedia the relationship between spirituality and Psychology the proof is there and shows that mediation, prayer ,can work. My understanding of this issue is pretty good because I have suffered from depression and through prayer, mediation and mental health Professionals I have overcome my illness. The truth of the matter is mental health and spirituality goes hand and hand.
Spirituality will definitely influence your psychological view to the community, society and to different individuals. Religious beliefs have been influenced to things like hysteria, neurosis, and psychotic delusions (Cook, Powell & Sims, 2009). Nevertheless, on the other side, the relationship between religion and spirituality to mental and physical health is greatly beneficial. There have been proposals of positive effect in relationship between spirituality and religion (Swanton, 2001) some believe that religion could help cure mental illness it is no doubt the prayer and mediation is a connection between mental illness and religion. As you look at The ways psychology can impact your life there is more than
one way it can lead to spirituality as positive psychological is a clear path that helps one reach success with their mental illness if you look in the books of Argosy University and other means to find this info you will find that positive psychology can and may lead you to spirituality. I would like to submit a brief piece of info from the founder of positive behavior. Religiousness has often been found to correlate with positive health attributes. People who are more religious show better emotional well-being and lower rates of delinquency, alcoholism, drug abuse, and other social problems. Six separate factors are cited as evidence for religion's effect on well-being: religion (1) provides social support, (2) supports healthy lifestyles, (3) promotes personality integration, (4) promotes generatively and altruism, (5) provides unique coping strategies, and (6) provides a sense of meaning and purpose.

Many religious individuals experience emotions that create positive connections among people and allow them to express their values an.
Definitions and Measurement of Religion
This document discusses definitions, measurement issues, and commonly used measures related to assessing religion and spirituality in health outcomes research. It provides definitions for spirituality, religiosity, and the distinction between the two. Measurement issues discussed include the multidimensional nature of religion and spirituality as well as the lack of gold standard measures. Commonly assessed domains include religious attendance, religious coping, spirituality/meaning, and spiritual well-being. Several validated multidimensional measures are described that assess constructs such as daily spiritual experiences, meaning, and forgiveness.
FaithAction-Public-Health-Report
This document provides an overview of the potential role of faith-based organizations in improving public health in England. It outlines how FBOs can reach populations at high risk for certain health issues due to ethnicity. The document reviews evidence on the relationship between faith and health in two areas: diseases related to behaviors and issues of wellbeing, mental health and social capital. It finds that FBOs are well-positioned to address these areas due to their reach within communities and ability to influence health-related behaviors and social support networks. The report provides recommendations for greater recognition and partnership between public health bodies and FBOs to improve health and reduce inequalities.
Spirituality and health
This document discusses the relationship between spirituality and health. It defines spirituality as a search for meaning, purpose and connection that is deeper than physical or material things. The document explores how spirituality affects different age groups and can positively impact health by decreasing stress, blood pressure and depression. It also examines the role of spirituality in complementary healthcare practices and insurance coverage of such services. Overall, the document argues that spirituality is an important but often overlooked aspect of complete well-being.

Teleios U - Ephesians 1:5
God predetermined before the creation of the world that all believers would be adopted as his children through Jesus Christ. This was according to God's good pleasure and sovereign will alone, not based on any merit or choice on humanity's part. Adoption into God's family grants believers full rights and privileges as natural born children and the permanent position of being blameless before God.
Teleios U - Ephesians 1:4
God chose believers before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. He did this through his grace, as people are naturally depraved and would not choose faith on their own. As a result of God's choosing and Christ's death and resurrection, believers are now forgiven of sins. God chose believers and sent Christ out of an attitude of selfless, giving love for their good.
Teleios U - Ephesians 1:3
The document discusses Ephesians 1:3 from the Bible. It provides the following key points:
- The verse praises God for blessing believers with spiritual blessings through Christ.
- The blessings mentioned relate to salvation as enumerated in verses 4-14, including forgiveness of sins, redemption, adoption as God's children, and inheritance.
- Verse 3 acts as an introductory summary for the spiritual blessings Christians receive due to their salvation described in the following verses.
Teleios U - Ephesians 1:2
The document analyzes Ephesians 1:2 from the Bible. It provides definitions for key terms in the verse's greeting of "grace and peace." Specifically:
- Grace refers to unmerited favor or divine strength from God. Peace represents spiritual blessing or greeting from both God as our Father and Christ as our Lord and sovereign ruler.
- The verse represents the unity between God and Christ as sources of grace and peace. It also defines the new roles of God as Father and Christ as Lord to Christians compared to Old Testament believers.
- Verse 2 completes Paul's greeting to the Ephesians by offering grace and peace from both God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Teleios U - Ephesians 1:1
The document provides background information on the book of Ephesians. It was written by the apostle Paul around AD 60 to Christians in Ephesus. Ephesians is important as it is a New Testament epistle that provides guidance on knowing Jesus Christ and living as a Christian. The document also analyzes the first verse of Ephesians, noting that Paul identifies himself as an apostle appointed by God. He is writing to the saints (holy people forgiven by faith) in Ephesus who are faithful in Jesus Christ.
Studying Scripture
Teleios recently conducted a survey regarding what techniques people use to study scripture. The survey focused on adolescents and millennials.
2019 lecture at Bible believing seminary - Proving God's truth
A slide presentation summarizing recent research conducted by Teleios, exploring the impact of biblical truth in life. Teleios conducts research to prove the goodness of the Bible and how it helps people.
Security
The document discusses how having faith in Christ's forgiveness of sins through his death and resurrection leads to improved well-being. It emphasizes that Christians can be secure in their relationship with God. This security is important to grow in faith and serve others well without lacking confidence in God's acceptance. The document outlines three arguments from scripture for why a Christian's salvation is secure: direct statements about eternal security, Christians' unchanging positions before God, and God causing believers to persevere through life to salvation not by their own efforts alone. This security allows Christians to invest in their relationship with God without being burdened by guilt or worries over their acceptance.

College Student Survey: Positive and Negative Wellbeing
The survey asked University of Georgia students about factors that influence their well-being. Most students said that good health, close relationships with family and friends, and a relationship with God had a positive impact on their well-being. Negative factors included poor health, low self-image, and stress from coursework. Students were then given anonymous advice statements from the Bible and correctly identified them as providing guidance to improve well-being. When told the source, most said they would seek further advice from the Bible, while some chose to maintain their current lifestyle.
Religion and Disease
We performed a review of the peer-reviewed psychological literature to help physicians understand how religion affects patients' lives and diseases.
Pastor Survey: Church Activities and Wellbeing
Teleios surveyed over 900 pastors to understand how church activities influence wellbeing. 105 pastors responded. The survey asked about teaching and worship, service outside the church, and communication within the church. Pastors overwhelmingly reported that spiritual activities like sermons, prayer, and praise had a very positive impact on wellbeing. They also noted service outside the church strongly augmented wellbeing. While administrative issues and communication patterns had a lower positive impact than spiritual activities, pastors still indicated they assisted wellbeing, especially good relationships between members, leaders, and staff. The survey concluded that church activities, especially spiritual ones, may improve attendees' wellbeing.
How Bible Study Improves Wellbeing
We evaluated the effect of a Bible study method as a training program on wellbeing in a healthy young adult population within a Christian community environment.
College Students and Wellbeing
Teleios surveyed college students to evaluate the influences of religious belief on general wellbeing.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

What Enhances Wellbeing in Daily Life?
- 1. Teleios, Inc. Version 1.0 Page 1 of 3 Can improve relationships Can prevent delinquency Can improve health What Enhances Wellbeing in Daily Life? Teleios recently analyzed 63 peer-reviewed articles in the medical literature that evaluated wellbeing as related to 4 Bible-based terms1 : These characteristics in a person’s life improve wellbeing! They also demonstrated a positive influence on specific societal issues including improvement in social relationships, delinquent behavior and physical health. These parameters were generally derived from only 2 sources: FORGIVENESS GRATITUDE HOPE EMPATHY
- 2. Teleios, Inc. Version 1.0 Page 2 of 3 1. Study of religion’s scriptures 2. Hearing sermons 3. Personal practice in a supportive church community 4. Encouragement from the faith community itself5 Studies showed that 3 of these parameters (except hope) could be taught to some extent in a secular setting. However, all 4 characteristics (including hope) were shown to be improved by religious involvement. Note: For this study almost all of the included articles meeting inclusion criteria were from Christian countries. Importantly, ‘hope’ may be defined differently between secular and spiritual spheres. Temporal hope: “…an expectation about attaining a desired goal in the future …”2 generally thought of as a goal to achieve on earth during a person’s life. Christian hope: “a confident expectation of salvation gained through faith in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for mankind’s sin”3 that is, directed to a heavenly target. How these characteristics were helped in these studies4 was not clear, but perhaps could be produced from:
- 3. Teleios, Inc. Version 1.0 Page 3 of 3 This study suggests that forgiveness, gratitude, hope and empathy may improve general wellbeing, pro-social, and positive relational behavior, and demonstrate positive health effects.
