The Tender Conscience

Workshop Details:

This training will first discuss the normal role and function of the conscience in the life of a believer. We will then explore the potential causes and helps for an overly sensitive conscience. Attention will also be given to believers who are severely afflicted with a condemning conscience–namely those who would be described as struggling with scrupulosity (religious OCD).
