Group Outreach

Partnering with churches and communities to see lives renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

In addition to one to one ministry, the Lord has called Life Resurrection Ministries to serve the wider body of Christ through group gatherings, workshops, and church events.

Whether we meet in a church sanctuary, a fellowship hall, a retreat center, or online, my heart is the same, to create a setting where people can encounter the presence of God, receive healing, and be equipped for the life and calling He has given them.

On this page you will find an overview of the main ways I serve groups and congregations through Life Breakthrough Workshops and Speaking Engagements and Teaching.

Monthly Life Breakthrough Workshops

In a Life Breakthrough Workshop, I combine Biblical teaching, guided reflection, and prayer ministry in a small group setting. The goal is not simply to give information, but to invite the Holy Spirit to work deeply in the hearts of those who attend.

These are monthly small group gatherings hosted by Tom Grden at the Beyond Survival Ministry Center in McMurray, PA, on Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 11:00 AM. In these sessions, we sit around a table and focus on a specific topic for scriptural teaching, discussion, and ministry. Our series in Fall of 2025 dealt with FEAR, ANXIETY, DOUBT, and INSECURITY. Past topics have included such things as betrayal and abandonment. The small group setting enables participants to support and encourage one another, and often is a more comfortable environment than a formal counseling session. Please see our Calendar for days and times.

Workshops can also be hosted by a local church, a ministry group, or a network of believers who desire a focused time of healing and growth. They are suitable for adults of various ages and can be adapted for leaders or general congregations.

Hosting a Life Resurrection Event

If you desire a message that invites the presence of God into your gathering, I would be honored to partner with your church, ministry, or organization. I can tailor teaching sessions to fit your theme, audience, or spiritual emphasis.

Life Resurrection events can include worship, ministry of the Word, and personal prayer ministry as the Holy Spirit leads. We always make room for God to move beyond human planning, ensuring that every heart leaves touched and transformed.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” — 2 Corinthians 3 : 17

Common Themes of Our Group Workshops

Workshops may focus on topics such as

  • Healing from emotional wounds and past hurts

  • Identity in Christ and freedom from shame

  • Forgiveness and reconciliation

  • Overcoming fear, anxiety, and insecurity

  • Walking through grief and loss with hope

  • Breaking patterns that keep believers stuck

  • Hearing and responding to the Holy Spirit

Each theme is rooted in the Word of God and in the mission described in Isaiah 61, to proclaim good news to the afflicted, to bind up the brokenhearted, and to proclaim liberty to captives.

What a Workshop Looks Like

A typical Life Breakthrough Workshop includes

  1. Opening Prayer and Welcome
    Inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit and dedicating the time to the Lord.

  2. Teaching from Scripture
    Clear, practical, and pastoral teaching on the chosen topic, with real life examples from ministry and counseling.

  3. Guided Personal Reflection
    Participants are led through questions and prompts that help them bring their own story before the Lord.

  4. Corporate and Personal Prayer Ministry
    Time is given for prayer, both as a group and individually, as the Spirit leads.

  5. Response and Next Steps
    Participants are encouraged to continue the work God has begun, through prayer, Scripture, and community connection.

Workshops can be offered as a single evening, a Saturday half day, or a series over several weeks, depending on the needs of the host church or group.

Outcomes and Fruit

By God’s grace, these workshops often result in

  • Greater peace and clarity in areas of confusion or struggle

  • Freedom from old patterns of thinking and reacting

  • Renewed hope in the promises of God

  • Deeper connection with the local church community

  • A fresh desire to grow in prayer, Scripture, and obedience

All glory belongs to the Lord for any change that takes place. My role is simply to create a setting where His Word and His presence can speak clearly.
