info_outline"When it comes to improving mental and emotional health: What if you could make it more efficient? What if you could make it more gentle? What if you could make it consistently and predictably more effective?"
Join us for another conversation with our mentor, Dr. Karl Lehman MD, founder of The Immanuel Approach, as we take a look at this model from a much bigger perspective. The Immanuel Approach is not just about inner healing. That is simply one item on the buffet. It's also about spiritual formation, true discipleship, developing greater discernment, receiving comfort directly from Jesus, learning how to interact with and process things with Jesus, and practice more powerful intercession. It's about friendship with Jesus and becoming more like him.
If you have experienced a life-changing encounter with the living presence of Jesus, Dr. Karl also shares with you how you can help get the word out.
For more conversations with Dr. Karl, see Episodes 13, 14, & 93.
