PeaceWorks' primary focus is to educate the Church in domestic abuse prevention and intervention through PeaceWorks University and EQUIP (see below) and to provide periodic coaching and/or educational resources to abusive men through our Men of Peace program (see below).

We do not offer counseling services of any kind.

PeaceWorks University

WHAT IS PEACEWORKS UNIVERSITY?

PeaceWorks University is our online membership site, which exists to train and support people helpers in a variety of ministry contexts to address domestic violence with the gospel of peace.

PeaceWorks University has two main components: education and equipping through our online membership site and community building, peer support, and networking through our private PeaceWorks University Facebook Community group.

Members of PeaceWorks University will receive access to the regularly released resources below:

• MONTHLY SHEPHERDING TEAM OPEN CONSULTS

  Each month throughout 2025, PWU members will have the opportunity to participate in a live group consult (via Zoom) with Chris Moles. During these one-hour calls, PWU members may consult with Chris Moles regarding active domestic abuse intervention cases they are currently engaged in. Open Consults will typically be on the second Monday of the month at 12pm ET and will not be recorded or be available for later viewing.

• MONTHLY MEMBERS ONLY LIVE Q&A

Each month throughout 2025, PWU members will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A (via Zoom) with Chris Moles. During these one-hour calls, PWU members may submit general, non-case specific questions pertaining to domestic abuse prevention and intervention. Q&As will typically be on the first Wednesday of each month at 12pm ET and will be recorded and saved in both our private PeaceWorks University Facebook Community group and the PeaceWorks University membership site for later viewing.

• MONTHLY OFFICE HOURS

Each month throughout 2025, PWU members will have the opportunity to connect (via Zoom) with Chris Moles’ assistant, Chelsey Gordon. During these one-hour calls, PWU members may request assistance and support with any navigation or resourcing issues they may have within the PWU membership site. Office Hours will typically be on the fourth Monday of the month at 12pm ET and will not be recorded or be available for later viewing.

• IBCD LIVE WATCH-ALONGS

  Throughout 2025, PWU members will have the opportunity to view and discuss the nine-part IBCD Counseling Care for Domestic Abuse observation videos with Chris Moles (via Zoom). The nine Watch-Along dates are listed on the 2025 PeaceWorks University Calendar.

In addition to each of these regularly released resources, PWU members will have access to our online membership site which includes a vast archive of BONUS content, our CORE CURRICULUM for perpetrator confrontation (The Heart of Domestic Abuse: Step by Step Abuser Intervention for Biblical Counselors), past skill building SUCCESS PATHS and TOOLBOX items, as well as recordings of all past MASTER CLASSES, SHEPHERDING TEAM ROUND TABLES, MEMBERS ONLY LIVE Q&As, and BOOK CLUBS.

EQUIP

EQUIP is an on-line support community of Christ-centered people helpers who desire to:

• Get monthly mentoring and case consultation with experts in their field

• Sharpen their knowledge, skill sets, and professional expertise

• Connect with others who share common goals for community and support

After joining EQUIP you’ll be able to connect regularly with Chris Moles and Leslie Vernick through video lessons, a private Facebook support group, and by Zoom video call each month so that you gain clarity on your cases, competence in your skill set, and confidence in your approach. Plus, you will be a part of a robust on-line private community who will support and encourage you in your professional life.

With Chris and Leslie’s 50+ years of combined experience, we have designed the EQUIP Pillars of Success (see circular graphic). These pillars will help you build a strong foundation to grow upon year after year. The pillars are designed to work like the seasons, repeating each phase as you and your practice grow and evolve. You can revisit each pillar as many times as you need to. This means you'll be consistently building your skills, knowledge, community, confidence, and impact.

Men of Peace Self-Paced Course

The Men of Peace Self-Paced Course is the compilation of all of Chris Moles’ past Men of Peace coaching content plus brand-new material. This course will walk men through the three-fold Men of Peace process of Information, Transformation, and Reformation, educating and guiding men who are ready to take ownership of their abusive behaviors and surrender themselves fully to the Lord in true and lasting repentance. Please be aware this course DOES NOT include a direct coaching component with Chris Moles. Instead, the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course is designed to be used within the context of an already established biblical counseling or coaching relationship, with the abusive man enlisting the discipleship and accountability support of a local counselor, pastor, or mentor. Once purchased, each course participant will have permanent access to all course materials. The Men of Peace Self-Paced Course includes the following components.

• Ten Education Modules
  Each Module is made up of five (5-15 minute) sessions (each session available in both video and MP3 form) which will teach the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course content (50 videos/audio files total).

• One (150+ Page) Reflection & Application Workbook
  Alongside each Education Module, participants will use the corresponding PDF Reflection and Application Workbook (can be completed digitally or printed as a hard copy) to guide their personal reflection upon and application of the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course content.

• Ten Comprehension Quizzes
  After completing each Education Module (see above) participants will complete a Comprehension Quiz to assess their general comprehension of the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course content.

• Shepherding Team Support Packet
  Within the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course, participants will be given directions on how they can establish their own Shepherding Team as well as resources to share with their Shepherding Team members in order to familiarize them with the course content.
