Extraordinary Conversations

Check out our YouTube Channel @extraordinaryconversations where we discuss and review our research, blog articles, books, and other resources focused on the correlation of theological principles and psychological practices to discern full-functioning faith. We dive deep into the exploration of concepts and ideas like

The Other Side of Preaching: Moving From Rote to Revealing

and other aspects of developing your faith and discipleship in a ministry partnership with God.

Extraordinary Coaching

Our coaching services help individuals align their personality (i.e., temperament, character, habits, and attitudes) with their behavior (i.e., assumptions, beliefs, values, and perceptions) to improve one’s awareness and make connections to people and opportunities. The outcome is to act with authenticity to achieve a fully functioning faith. We utilize mapping techniques (e.g., assumption, mind, and SWOT), a variety of analyses, diversified perspective conditioning, and perception shaping to align with your self-concept, self-identity, and self-esteem, resulting in competency, capability, and capacity for authentic functioning. Extraordinary coaching guides you to cultivate a fully functioning self and faith.

Science App: Kairos Connect

Ever wonder what folks experience during worship and when the sermon lands just right? Kairos Connect leverages the principles of phenomenology to explore the rich, personal landscape of lived experience to gain insights and understanding of your experience listening to a sermon, and the impact it had on you, and whether or not it increased your full-functioning faith.

Extraordinary Preaching

The phenomenon of preaching effectiveness delves into the lived experience of both the preacher and the listener to understand what makes preaching truly impactful. It shifts the focus from purely objective measures (like sermon structure or theological accuracy) to the subjective and intersubjective dimensions of the preaching experience. Extraordinary preaching conducts research by engaging with your congregation and community with fun and meaningful surveys, focus groups, interviews, and journaling to understand the impact of the preaching and understand how lives are changed to be more like Jesus Christ.

Extraordinary Think Tank

Members are dedicated to exploring the rich intersections and potential synergies between understanding the divine, the human mind, and behavior. Rigorous intellectual inquiry is made into the data from research that fosters dialogue and innovative approaches to human flourishing, spiritual growth, and mental well-being. The Extraordinary Think Tank is dedicated to innovating fresh ways to preach the gospel with clarity (i.e., coherence and intelligence) and accuracy.
