Book Description
I am deeply grateful that so many of you have found this book Courageous Conversations Connect, helpful as you embark on your healing journey. I have learned over the many years of being a therapist as well as being a part of lived and shared experiences personally, professionally, relationally, familially and spiritually, that there are times in our lives when we all need to muster the courage to have difficult talks which I like to call Courageous Conversations. I believe that most times, we are fearful of having these conversations because we are unsure of the outcome and ultimately believe that it will lead to disconnection, cut-offs or loss. In my experience over the years, if we are courageous enough to have the conversation; the outcome more often than not, leads to us connecting with ourselves and the people who matter to us most. These conversations do not have to lead to despair, sadness or disappointment. As a matter a fact, they have the power to lead to quite the opposite; hopefulness, joy and contentment. Thus, the following can result from reading this book about how Courageous Conversations Connect. When Courageous Conversations Connect with ourselves, we emerge as better versions of "us" as a result of engaging in radical self-care. When Courageous Conversations Connect with our relationships, we emerge stronger by learning how to speak truth to power while not losing our humility in the process. When Courageous Conversations Connect with our spiritual selves during life's transitions, we emerge with a more satisfied and fulfilled life by choosing to let go of the pain and turn it into power. When Courageous Conversations Connect with our intention, we emerge with the ability to reset our mindset; ready and excited to live our BEST Lives with promise, power, purpose and abundance. This is why I have chosen to call this book Courageous Conversations Connect and I am confident that reading it will make a difference in your life as well as in the relationships you value and treasure most. Enjoy your journey, one Courageous Conversation at a Time! Dr. Argie J. Allen Wilson, Ph.D.

Book Description
Courageous Conversations is designed to assist with the complexities of pastoral supervision in a variety of settings, such as local congregations, seminary programs of field education, clinical pastoral education, clinical training of spiritual directors and certified pastoral counselors, and more. The preparation and training of supervisors is diverse and often learned through 'on-the-job-training.' This book draws on a wide variety of experienced supervisors in clinical pastoral education to seminary faculty members. The topics covered in the book address very pragmatic aspects of supervision, for pastors in local congregations who supervise seminary interns to well-developed theoretical aspects of supervisory education that are utilized in clinical pastoral education. Readers of this book will benefit from theoretical viewpoints as well as practical hands-on application to their ministry. Special attention is given to the task, purpose, and methods of pastoral supervision, and helpful suggestions are provided for working with important issues such as pastoral identity, skill development, attending to ethics, postmodernism, gender, sexuality and more.
