Spiritual & Emotional Maturity
Bernadette Toohey MGL
Growing in self-awareness, resilience and emotional intelligence is an essential part of operating as a mature, flourishing and loving missionary and disciple! This seminar will introduce lots of practical methods, tools and resources for you to grow in maturity, take responsibility and be accountable for your behaviour and actions and understand why this is so vital for your own sake, for any ministries you may be involved in and for those around you in your everyday life.
Who is Bernadette Toohey MGL
Bernadette has spent the last 20+ years involved in youth ministry. She lives in Varroville on the outskirts of Sydney where she runs retreats, trains young missionaries, walks with cows, tries to grow veggies and leads people closer to Jesus. This year her ministries included leading the Disciples School of Mission team in a month-long outreach to South Australia, being part of the organising team of Melbourne Summer School and Light to the Nations, leading the popular MGL Sisters Pentecost Retreat, as well as being a guest speaker and presenter at several youth ministry events and conferences. Her tertiary studies in media, marketing, theology and education combine to make her a passionate speaker and teacher in sharing the faith in our current times. If she wasn't happily in her eleventh year with the MGL Sisters she would have loved to have made it as a talk show host, rally car driver or high school RE teacher.
