Rap began his work as Co-Facilitator of Christian Intensive Workshops at Pine Grove in 2011. His initial focus was in doing extensive research in the areas of the marriage relationship, personal bondages and addictions, and the five core issues addressed in all of the intensive workshops: Self-esteem, Boundaries, Truth, Needs, and Emotions. His research was based heavily upon God’s Word and renowned authors in the various fields. Subsequent to the research was the development of the curriculum used in the Christian Intensive Workshops.
