This week write your story of hurt, betrayal, and pain. Go very slow. Make a timeline of your life. Put on the timeline your dinner table when you were 10, take note of eras of anxiety, grief, and trauma. You will immediately discover the correlation of addictive destructive behavior with the events of anxiety, grief, and trauma. There are 3 kinds of truthful answers to give. Truthful answers, more truthful answers and brutally true answers. A truthful answer is like, “Yes I have a story of hurt and pain.” A more truthful answer is “My story of hurt and pain involves a family history of addiction and affairs.” A brutally true answer articulates your own personal pain in detail. Go ahead. Start. Read “Healing Survivors of Trauma” in The Treasure to touch the core of your story.

Ok here goes story number 2. Our first story focuses on our place in our family looking at the history and context of our greatest anxieties. Now, tell the story of your parents. Can you draw their dinner table when they were 10? Your parents’ attitudes, theology, trauma can be traced to this table give or take a few years. Were your parents depression era, WW2, Vietnam? What was the economy? Google “News” and the year when your parents were 10. This will assist you to reflect on their story. If you have the book, The Treasure, check out the story telling piece of Addictions R Us Community Church at the end of the chapter. Go slow. Go careful. Bring Kleenex. You can order The Treasure from this website, you may get it on Amazon.com in book or ebook form. If you live on the coast you can obtain it at North Coast Family Fellowship’s bookstore. If you cannot afford a book, I will send you a copy. This is for love, for truth, for depth.

Hey you guys, ever have a defining moment in your life? Here’s one of mine; the writing of my story. The deepest truth in my life happened when I wrote an autobiography of my story and studied it prayerfully with a community of scholars and friends. I was challenged, made transparent, humbled, repented, and reshaped by the Spirit of God in community. I wish to give you the same gift. Together we will begin a journey to write your story. You may share yours online with our community or, you may share it with me personally, or give your story to a counselor for reflection. Whatever you choose to do, I give you this one promise…you will not be the same. Ever. So, let’s start. Story One. Draw your family and where they sat around the dinner table when you were ten years old. This is a formative developmental time of life. What was the economy like? What were the pressing issues in the world like war, disaster, etc? What were your greatest anxieties? Character defects, attitude, attachment templates, theology, economy, trauma, can be traced to this scene give or take a few years. Ok,let’s go deeper. Ages 5-8 form what is called the arousal template. The concrete that forms the foundation of your sexuality, how you connect, what you like, dislike, how you act out sexually both good and bad, is poured between the ages of 5-8. As you draw your table, think through your story as a child. Did shame and guilt dominate conversation? Pain? Fear? Joy? Gratitude? Empathy? Put them all inside the table. We will work through this later. This is called your arousal template. I will pray for you as the Spirit peels back your story like an onion. Be prepared for depth.

Ecola Bible College Ministering to People in Crisis October 2012 By Dr. Glen B. Maiden Our Purpose is connecting to the life of Jesus as he served people in crisis. This 3 hour seminar will cover the biblical story of helping broken people become devoted followers. Objectives: To examine the Biblical passages regarding ministering to people in crisis To do small group work in class for deeper conversation about ministering to people in crisis To capture the attitude of Jesus in crisis management Relevant Passages: Matthew 18.15ff Galatians 6.1ff James 5.16ff John 21 In a crisis the steps to restoration are: Stop the bleeding Truth is the most healing path Create a healing blueprint Create community of counselors, mentors, leaders Take care of the victims Restoration is based on the biblical choices of the offender Session One Examining the relevant passages Story Number 1: Addicts and Victims in Crisis The process of addiction Small Group Work Conversation with community Session Two Reviewing relevant passages Story Number 2: Restoring fallen friends Small Group Work Conversation with community Session Three Reviewing relevant passages Story Number 3: Restoring fallen pastors Small Group Work Conversation with community Restoration Process By Pastor Glen Maiden Our goal is to restore biblically Bob to ministry and set a precedent for future restorations. I have personally been involved in numerous restorations of church members, Elders, and staff members for many years from adultery, to addiction, to violence. Specifically, the current Executive Pastor at my former ministry, three music ministers who were addicted to narcotics and alcohol, a small group coordinator, and an Elder who had an affair. All were successfully restored. I have learned that if we act biblically and restore as Jesus did, we will honor God, nurture a healthier-deeper church, and mend the family involved. I also know that this will not be perfect, you will be personally attacked both by people who wish to punish and those who wish to enable. Our stance must be Jesus and the Bible. Personal opinions are welcome, but Jesus and the Bible are the hill we climb and die on and our ultimate authority. The emphasis of this process is restoration and healing. Our biblical models are King David and his restoration through Nathan, Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, and Peter’s restoration from betraying Jesus. Matthew 18 uses a relational accountability model ending with excommunication if the offender does not choose to reconcile. Galatians 6 speaks of humility, and a careful mending of sin. The Pauline word in Galatians for mend is a medical term meaning “triage”. Here are the operative passages we work from. Matthew 18 Parable of the Lost Sheep 12 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! 14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish. Correcting Another Believer 15 “If another believer[d] sins against you,[e] go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. 16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector. 18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid[f] on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit[g] on earth will be permitted in heaven. 19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers,[h] I am there among them.” Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor 21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone[i] who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven![j] Galatians 6 1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[a] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[b] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. Stumbling blocks: If we have a punishment mentality, the church body will pick up on that very quickly. Then we will have another battle to fight. If we cover up, water down, speak less than the truth, we will sorely pay. If we do not connect deeply to Bob’s addiction for healing, and instead spiritualize it, this alcoholic behavior WILL REPEAT. I believe our focus for Bob must be the healing of his addiction, not the treatment of symptoms. Or we will revisit this again. If we ignore his wife Sue in this process, we can fuel marital dissension. One of the greatest principles I have seen work is the “choice” model. As you look at Matthew 18, the excommunication of the offending party is due to their choice not to reconcile. So, you will see this word throughout. The first step is agreement on a process. I suggest a year plan including elements of the following which focus on healing Bob’s addiction. The next step is to communicate to the church family verbally and through a letter regarding Bob and his restoration. I will take the lead on these communication issues with your affirmation. Below is a plan I wish to invite your prayer and edits. 1. 12 months of counseling for Bob regarding his addiction and separate counseling for his marriage. Our health insurance provides some coverage. 2. Weekly participate at Celebrate Recovery or AA. 3. An Elder mentor for Bob to communicate and hold accountable. 4. A mentor for Sue, I would suggest Dora Dover. One of our experiences is that a completely separate weather system affects the wife and she needs ongoing communication and encouragement, or we open the door for another meltdown. 5. If Bob chooses to engage his addiction recovery, and his counselor feels he is healthy, Bob may return to playing on Sunday mornings. 6. If Bob chooses to reconcile his marriage and family issues, and his counselor feels Bob’s family relationships are healthy, he may return to assist planning worship. 7. If Bob chooses to reconcile broken relationships on the leadership team, with the recommendation of the Elders he may return to full ministry. 8. After year one of the above, we expect ongoing recovery work and accountability. 9. Because we care for Bob and his family, If he chooses to disengage from his recovery work, we will accept his resignation. The purpose is not punitive, the truth is that in this context public ministry is too much of a trigger for Bob and his recovery. We would gladly help him to another place of ministry which is not so public. 10. In the interim while we wait for Bob’s counselor to affirm his healing, we can fund the administrative leave through his sick days, holiday pay, a study break week, and then vacation if necessary.

Mitchell, Jr. has documented the activities of those who commit adultery. As an investigator proving thousands of adultery, Mr. Mitchell has compiled these statistics: About Marriages and Divorce: • 50-70 percent of all American marriages end in divorce. • Within the last decade, incidents of adultery have risen to this alarming rate of 50-70 percent in America. About the Adulterers: • 100 percent of adulterers violate the trust they shared and enjoyed with their spouse. • 10-20 percent of spouse’s cheating begins as Internet affairs in chat rooms or at game websites. • 75 percent of adulterers are middle-class wage earners. • 1-5 percent of adulterers are pastors or clergy. • 90 percent of clergy divide churches and cause spiritual upheaval within their sphere of influence. Many congregants become skeptical, bitter and resentful. • 60-70 percent of adultery victims are women. • 30-40 percent of adultery victims are men. This number has increased dramatically over the past decade and a half, due in part to the increased presence of women in the workplace. • 10-15 percent of female victims are between the ages of 20-25 years old. • 50-75 percent of female victims are between the ages of 25-50 years old. • 1-2 percent of female victims are married more than 25 years to the same spouse. • 10-20 percent of adultery victims claim to be Christians, and the cheating spouse usually is a regular attendant of church or religious activities. • 15-20 percent are repeat offenders. • 99.9 percent deny they are having an affair and hide the truth! The exception is when they confess without being forced into it. • 70-80 percent who willing confess to infidelity recovery and enjoy a stronger marriage in time. About the Affair:• 50-75 percent of extramarital affairs take place with someone from the workplace. • 70-80 percent of the time, extramarital activity lasts six months to a year but not longer. • 20-25 percent of adulterers frequent motels or hotels. • 75 percent of sexual activity occurs in a residence, apartment, or office location. • 80-85 percent of domestic relations investigations reveal evidence of adultery when one spouse questions the other’s devotion and loyalty. • 30-50 percent of affairs involve alcohol during their indiscretions. • 50 percent of extramarital affairs take place under cover of darkness or in the shadow of the night. • 50-65 percent of extramarital affairs occur on weekends. • 10-15 percent of marriages survive affairs after professional or non-professional (clergy) counseling where the act of forgiveness occurs. • 10-25 percent of spouses having affairs bring financial ruin to their marital home. • 10 percent of affairs result in physical abuse with their spouse at some stage of the affair. • 100 percent of extramarital affairs take their toll on biological and stepchildren. Don’t make any sudden moves! Confronting your partner too soon will only help him or her hide their tracks and go deeper into denial and hiding. Author Bill Mitchell, a licensed private investigator, has helped thousands of individuals successfully find out if their partners are cheating and catch them! Use his smart, proven steps to immediately take charge of your situation and your life. Do your relationship this one favor…before things go any further If you’re living with the pain of not knowing, it’s OK to do something about it. You at least owe it to yourself to know what you could do. Written in a friendly, caring style, this book is first and foremost about caring for yourself and doing what’s right for you.

I feel passion to connect the Gospel to the north coast of Oregon and SW Washington. I wish to include my community in the conversation.

Here is the vision. Is it possible to uncover the common ground of the generations? Is it possible after discovery to connect the Gospel to the story of the builder, boomer, post modern, and millenial generations?

Can we as a community speak to the generations, discover their core values, find the connections and speak to them specifically?

For example, the builders (retirement era) and the millenials (20 somethings) are deeply influenced by economic disasters. Can their collective pain be a starting point with the Gospel?

The boomers (my age) and the post moderns 30-40 both come from the age of relativism. The boomers hated authority…the post moderns hate authority.

The builders are ok with authority…the millenials seek an authority to trust.

Do you get the idea? What are your thoughts about the generations. Do you see common ground?

What I intend to do is consult with a scholarly community around the country and interview the generations on the coast. Love you input.

Isaiah 7
A Message for Ahaz
1 When Ahaz, son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah, was king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria[a] and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, set out to attack Jerusalem. However, they were unable to carry out their plan.
2 The news had come to the royal court of Judah: “Syria is allied with Israel[b] against us!” So the hearts of the king and his people trembled with fear, like trees shaking in a storm.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub[c] and go out to meet King Ahaz. You will find him at the end of the aqueduct that feeds water into the upper pool, near the road leading to the field where cloth is washed.[d] 4 Tell him to stop worrying. Tell him he doesn’need to fear the fierce anger of those two burned-out embers, King Rezin of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah. 5 Yes, the kings of Syria and Israel are plotting against him, saying, 6 ‘We will attack Judah and capture it for ourselves. Then we will install the son of Tabeel as Judah’s king.’ 7 But this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“This invasion will never happen;
it will never take place;
8 for Syria is no stronger than its capital, Damascus,
and Damascus is no stronger than its king, Rezin.
As for Israel, within sixty-five years
it will be crushed and completely destroyed.
9 Israel is no stronger than its capital, Samaria,
and Samaria is no stronger than its king, Pekah son of Remaliah.
Unless your faith is firm,
I cannot make you stand firm.”
The Sign of Immanuel
10 Later, the LORD sent this message to King Ahaz: 11 “Ask the LORD your God for a sign of confirmation, Ahaz. Make it as difficult as you want—as high as heaven or as deep as the place of the dead.[e]”
12 But the king refused. “No,” he said, “I will not test the LORD like that.”
13 Then Isaiah said, “Listen well, you royal family of David! Isn’t it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? 14 All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin[f] will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). 15 By the time this child is old enough to choose what is right and reject what is wrong, he will be eating yogurt[g] and honey. 16 For before the child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted.
Philippians 2
Have the Attitude of Christ
1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,[a]
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];
he took the humble position of a slave[c]
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[d]
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Shine Brightly for Christ
12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

John 1.14 So the word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only son.

Our vision is to create a deep community of worshipers who love Jesus and the Bible. In time we see the Tuesday night community becoming a gathering with music and preaching for those on the coast who cannot worship Sundays.

We also value the poor, this year we will feature another soup and bread supper for the hungry of our community.

We would love for you to be part of our small community.

We will have no child care until you let us know its needed, our young families are caring for their children in other ways. Once again, the Tuesday night Cove will have no child care.

See you there. Glen

Tuesday nights beginning October 4 from 6:30-7:30PM Tim Drowne and I will lead this 10 week study on the book of Joshua. Our goal is to study this great book verse by verse examining some of the tough questions in Scripture like, how could God order the annihilation of women and children? Come with your Bible, passion for prayer, and tough questions. We will also feature a soup and bread meal for our community. Our dream is that the Tuesday night Bible study will transition to become a worship gathering for those who cannot attend Sunday mornings due to work schedules. We will also offer childcare for a donation.

Beginning October 26, 2010 North Coast Family Fellowship will host a Bible study Tuesday nights in the youth room on…here it comes…wait for it…The Book of Revelation!!!

Pastor Glen will lead the study on this amazing book from 6:30-7:30 PM. Please check out this blog for the dates, holidays, child care info, collateral reading, notes, and the chapter we are currently covering. Glen has a background in New Testament Greek, Classical Greek, Old Testament Hebrew, and Aramaic which he will utilize throughout the study.

Our dream is to reach the coast for Christ in many different gatherings (venues) for a culture of varied backgrounds. On Sunday mornings at 9:30A in the main auditorium you will find music with pulse. At the 11:00A worship gathering we believe no one walks away thinking the music too loud. We also offer two hymns at the second service. The Cove which meets currently in the youth room at 9:30A will move into a commercial site February 6, 2011 with a more intimate gathering and guitar driven music to reach our unchurched community.

Our vision for the Tuesday night Bible study connects to our community which cannot worship Sundays due to work schedules. We believe the Tuesday night study in time will have a deep sense of community reaching out to the tourist industry. When it does, we can bring the music and the message from Sunday to Tuesday night.

So, please invite your friends who work on Sundays to this great venue. Or if you miss a Sunday service, you are very welcome to gather with us.

Our community on Tuesday nights will start sharply at 6:30P in the youth room. We will spend a few minutes unpacking the current chapter and highlighting insights from Gordon Fee’s book, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth (HRBW). You may purchase a copy from the NCFF bookstore. We will then break up with intimate small groups of 5-6 people to discuss the chapter verse by verse. You will love it. At 6:40 we will gather again as a large group to talk over your discoveries and answer questions. You will find this one of the most powerful teaching methods you have ever experienced.

We will finally close with intimate prayer. Please bring your hurt and pain, and together we will pray for your story. Your heart matters to God.

Child care is an important question people ask. It is vital for us to care for our children with excellence. In a large study like this it is possible to have 30 children. The best way to handle correctly our children is with our Bible study community. Here’s what that looks like. Each night we will collect a modest offering to pay a child care provider (ccp). A couple bucks from each attendee goes a long way. Then we will ask one of the cool people at the study to help schedule the ccp’s for the study complete with a back up team to insure that our kids are well cared for. We will ask the parents present to give us a list of their best ccps and when this is all in place, we can move forward with appropriate care for our kids on Tuesday nights. So to begin with we will work on the process before we offer care. What this means practically is that you will need to find child care while we get our system organized.

What you will need for the study:

1. A great attitude…this book has caused division for generations. Our focus will be on Jesus and…Hope. We will ask you to raise your right hand and solemnly commit to respect other people’s opinions and not cause division. 🙂

2. A good translation of the Bible which you understand; Glen uses the New Living Translation. Unchurched people tell us they get it. We also enjoy reading from different translations so please bring your favorite. Also, it is important to have a Bible with commentary. We will be referencing Old Testament apocalyptic literature so a commentary which can guide you will be important.

3. Gordon Fee’s book, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.

4. A passion to serve, to plant this study as a church, to reach unchurched friends and family who work on Sundays.
