Watch the introduction - 3:31 minutes

Every congregation includes people living with things no one else can see — abuse, coercive control, a relationship that isn't safe. Seeing Clearly & Shepherding Well was built to close the gap between wanting to help and knowing how.

Developed by Nebraska 117 Counseling, the series trains small group leaders, deacons, and pastors to recognize warning signs early, respond with wisdom and care, and know when — and to whom — to refer someone for further help.

By the end of the series, your leaders won't just be more aware. They'll be equipped: able to have the hard conversation, hold the line on safety, and walk alongside people without carrying more than they're able to.

Seeing Clearly

Six modules — for every lay leader

Required viewing for small group leaders and deacons: how to notice what's beneath the surface and respond well in the moment.

Shepherding Well

Seven modules — for pastors

Built on the foundation from the Seeing Clearly modules, with the added discernment and pastoral judgment that leading a congregation requires.
