Free Resources + Community on Skool-Ongoing Support for Your Healing Journey
We believe healing doesn’t stop after an intensive—it continues in community. That’s why we offer a growing library of free resources on our private Skool platform, designed to help you stay grounded, encouraged, and connected. By joining, you’ll become part of a Spirit-led community of others walking a similar path—growing together, asking questions, sharing wins, and supporting each other in truth and grace. Whether you’ve attended an intensive or are just starting your journey, this space is here to remind you:
You are not alone, and your healing matters.
Tiffany's Testimony
For the first time, I could see where I had been reacting instead of responding… surviving instead of leading my own heart.
And now, instead of shame or frustration, I have clarity. I have tools. I have peace.
God used this experience to not only bring healing but to restore authority in my life. I left knowing who I am and how to walk in wisdom, grace, and emotional strength.
Maddy's Testimony
Being in a small group of people, most of whom I didn’t know, created this space that was incredibly honest and healing. Walls came down. Hearts opened. And what I thought might feel intimidating actually became the most beautiful source of connection I’ve ever encountered.Through the teaching, therapy, and shared vulnerability, I saw God move in real time—in others and in me.
There was laughter, tears, breakthrough, and truth spoken over each one of us.
Allison's Testimony
It blew my mind how much I hadn’t been taught—especially around communication, boundaries, and truly connecting with others while staying grounded in Christ.
For the first time, I saw how some of my struggles weren’t just about emotions—they were about old beliefs, hidden patterns, and a misunderstanding of God’s heart in relationships.
