Experience God’s Truth for Individual Healing and Collective Growth
Living in a fallen world by yourself is hard enough, but being a broken person living among broken people is an impossible challenge. Impossible, that is, without God. When we soak up God’s truth, we become like trees planted by streams of living water (Psalm 1:3)… refreshed and ready to truly live!
About Us
Are you looking for someone to walk with you the way that Jesus did on the road to Emmanus?
When the disciples were walking on the road to Emmanus, they were angry about what happened to their Friend, sad about the condition of their world, and anxious about what would happen to them.
This 501(c)(3) non-profit has a simple mission: to minister to all who recognize and value the possibilities presented in difficult situations. The importance of each challenge is the opportunity of becoming more like Christ.
We will walk with you as we walk with Jesus—committing our plans to Him so He can establish us with practical steps (Psalm 37:23).
“
Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
- John 7:37
CARE OPTIONS
We customize care to three groups
Child of God (and “Caregivers”)
Whether you are a toddler, child, teen, or an adult, you are still a child of God. Conjoint work with you and any “caregivers” (e.g., parents, spouses, friends) helps those who support you to learn how to love you in your condition. This will allow you to concentrate on what you need to heal and grow.
Couples
Interpersonal dynamics are challenging for all relationships, not just romantic ones where people are dating, engaged, married, or co-parenting. Conjoint work with all couples involves understanding and bridging the divide between any two people (e.g., parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, co-workers).
Community
Challenges arise in all social settings. They are complicated by different expectations and the tension between needs versus wants. Conjoint work in the community focuses on breaking down walls that separate those in the church, corporate workplace, or any group context. It can salvage and improve relationships so that you don’t have to avoid or quit.
Support Levels
We offer three levels of support
01
Education
The more we learn in the world, the more we realize how little we actually know. When we understand even a small amount of God’s truth rightly, we will be healed and see ourselves and others in accurate ways (Acts 28:27).
By Semester
$2-5000
02
Discipleship
Doing the right thing is hard. Doing the loving thing is even harder. God gives us undershepherds to help us grow into Christ to make the right choices and the loving actions (Eph 4:11-16).
Year Round
2-10% tithe
03
Therapy
It’s natural to walk in circles around this world. When we turn to God in reverence, we are healed and refreshed. Then, and only then, can we think clearly, feel well, and move powerfully. (Prov 3:5-8).
By Session
$2-$500
* Cross-enrollment across services is recommended for those interested in highest rate of progress.
** Cost is dependent upon country of residence, and further reduced by grants for those in need.
*** 100% of proceeds go to sponsorships of education, discipleship, and therapy.
WHY US
Biblical truth reinforced through practical steps
We understand you and your condition through a biblical worldview that is realistic in order to generate practical solutions for sustainable progress.
Biblically grounded
Lovingly applied
Empirically tested
Loving
We care for you not as clients, but as our brothers and sisters in the family of Christ. Our personal sacrifices in time and money show how we value you, making ethical boundary-crossings in the reality of multiple relationships beneficial (1 John 3:16-24).
Hopeful
We share hope for what is not possible through our skills alone, but what is possible by God. His steady hand works when all seems lost, so that we can remind/motivate us when one, some, or all forget/doubt (John 14:26).
Creative
We reveal what God is doing in you and your situation, not by clinically detached methods, but by Creator- inspired experiences (Psalm 105:2). This can be through visual art, verbal conversations, written poetry, musical movements, etc.

CORE DISTINCTIVES
God’s Word
Underpins Our Approach
Views
How we see and what we see determine everything within our field of experience. This begins with whether we recognize God and see Him as accurately as He allows us to, and ends with our self-perceived identities (which include how we may have internalized arbitrary human constructs from others). [Acts 17:24-29]
Origins
Who we began as and why is of first importance and determines the value that we see in ourselves and in everything around us. It also dictates the directions that are now possible. We will work towards understanding how you and your circumstances got to where they are. [Philippians 1:6]
Context
Attribution
A key factor that shapes the interpretation of experiences is one’s self-perceived locus of responsibility and/or ability to control the things that happen. This concept is not only argued about in secular psychology circles but has long been debated among the varying Christian traditions. We will work with you on determining the point that provides you enough room to choose and act alongside God in ways that are congruent with your stated objectives. [2 Peter 1:3-11]
Conditions
The internal issues–abilities or constraints that affect our ability to operate as we theoretically wish to–are the ingredients that we have to work with. We will work on not only harvesting the fruit of the Spirit, but making every effort to confirm what is true by growing in concert with God’s intervening power. [Galatians 5:22-23]
Responses
Relationships
God adopted us into His royal family. This means that we are not only His children and co-heirs with Christ, but we are brothers/sisters-in-Christ to one another. Our interaction will not be transactional, but trustworthy. Such a family dynamic of mutual affection, and even of brotherly love, is the corrective experience that we all long for. You too will learn how to be unafraid to love, and become like our Father who is love. [1 John 4:17ff]

Celebrate Conforming To Christ
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as He who called you is holy,
you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:14-16).
