Barnabas Training equips people to understand their own hearts and care for others through deeper, more meaningful conversations. Rooted in a biblical understanding of the human heart and change, the training moves from a one-day introduction to guided practice in small groups.
Our core training progresses through three stages. Each level builds on the one before it, helping participants grow in self-understanding and in the practical skills of caring for others.
A one-day seminar introducing the Barnabas Model and a biblical understanding of your own heart. Teaching, interactive small-group discussion, and reflection help participants learn to encourage friends facing difficult times in life and faith.
A 10-week small-group course that extends Basic through teaching and practice. Participants develop caregiving skills, apply the model, and learn alongside a partner. Barnabas Training Basic is the prerequisite.
A 10-week small-group course that builds on Level 1. Participants deepen their understanding of the model, practice listening and asking thoughtful questions, and work through real-life caregiving scenarios with feedback. Level 1 is the prerequisite.
THE BARNABAS APPROACH
Barnabas Training is more than learning a set of techniques. It invites participants to understand their own hearts, engage real-life struggles honestly, and grow in the way they care for others.
Each stage includes teaching, reflection, and interactive practice. Level 1 and Level 2 build on Basic with ongoing small-group learning and partner practice.
