What students are saying

“I can’t express enough in words how powerful this course was and how I so enjoyed it... a life changing course!

There are many times I wished I had this teaching 30 years ago but thankful I have it now and believing and declaring the greatest purpose of my life is still ahead of me.”

–Cindy L.

Victorious Emotions

“What I have been receiving weekly for 5 months has impacted my spheres of influence - I receive consistent comments from my leaders about my encouragement, have received leadership roles in these past few months, and have expanded in my hope for my own business and ministry. That is great news! I am so excited about what is coming. ”

–Martina D.

Transformational Mind Renewal Course

“In these twelve weeks, I have gone from starting a class based on hearing an audible word to being offered a pastoral role in an online ministry! I would likely have shied away from had I not stepped into this course. I am growing at an exponential rate. I have held leadership roles in the secular world for many years, I felt both called and comfortable as a leader, yet I had not previously even contemplated ministry or a leadership role in the church.”
