What Is the Identity Formation Seminar?
The Identity Formation Seminar is a one-day, Christ-centered experience designed to help pastors and ministry leaders rediscover their true identity in Christ.
This seminar introduces the Four Selves framework and provides a structured environment for reflection, processing, and ministry application.
Participants will:
-
Explore the Four Selves Snapshot exercise
-
Identify patterns of performance-driven leadership
-
Reflect on identity formation in both personal and pastoral life
-
Engage in guided small-group processing conversations
-
Develop pastoral safeguards rooted in grace-based identity
This is not a conference talk.
It is a guided formation experience.
From Seminar to Sustainable Formation
The seminar is the beginning — not the end.
We offer a clear pathway for churches and fellowships seeking deeper, sustainable identity formation:
Seminar
→ Introduces the framework
Regional Gathering
→ Deepens shared language across networks
Identity Formation Coach Certification
→ Equips selected leaders to facilitate identity formation in others
This creates a repeatable formation model for churches and ministry fellowships.
The Four Selves Experience
The Four Selves in Ministry
During the seminar, participants complete the Four Selves Snapshot exercise and then break into facilitated process groups to explore:
• How the False Self shows up in ministry
• How the Presentable Self shapes leadership culture
• Where burnout patterns emerge
• What safeguards protect identity in Christ
The goal is clarity, not condemnation.
Formation, not performance.
