Beverly Sedlacek, DNP, MSN, RN, has a private practice wherein she employs biblical principles to help clients walk through a healing journey. They have co-authored the book (and the accompanying workbook) “Cleansing the Sanctuary of the Heart: Tools for Emotional Healing.” They are the founders of HIS Rest Ministries and work with clients, conduct retreats and speak at conferences around the world.</p> <p> This free event will be held Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019, from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and 1–3 p.m. in the Seminary building room S340.
