We don't know what we don't know when it comes to spirituality and the ways of God. We are intended to live like Christ and become more like him. We are meant to be strong oaks of righteousness, as in Isaiah 61.
But we often fall short. We remain enslaved. |
"He will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. For the Lord has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for His own glory." Isaiah 61:3b-4 |

The enemy wants you weak, tired, defeated and hopeless.
We may disqualify ourselves from receiving God's love because we feel we do not deserve his mercy, grace or gifts in our lives. Many of us feel stuck: wrestling with our old sin nature, the grief of loss, broken hearts, hurt, or anxiety.
This is not what God intended. Freedom is part of every believer's inheritance!

We were in the same place until...
We learned of God's principles and transformed our thinking. Once we understood and prayed through these lessons, we found peace and hope in our lives. After more than 30 years of helping many people, we are pleased to offer this same discipleship process to even more believers online.
You're not the only one who's been stuck.
They did something about it. And you can too.
"We hope every believer becomes the person God intends them to be, living life to the fullest in sound and whole relationships. We've developed several discipleship courses to help believers at every level find truth, peace, joy, hope, healing and freedom in Christ. We believe forgiveness is the core issue for any Christian's life. Jim did his doctoral dissertation study on the methodology we have developed for forgiveness."

Online Forgiveness Class
"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." - Jesus
-Matthew 6:14-15
-Matthew 6:14-15
Forgiveness is the core issue for any Jesus follower. And yet, studies show that people who identify themselves as "Christians" are no more likely to forgive than people who do not believe in Jesus at all. This course teaches believers how to completely and thoroughly forgive so that they notice a difference in how they feel about an issue or person. It is effective and powerful. This course includes video teaching, a workbook and a prayer toolkit. The forgiveness prayers in the prayer toolkit were proven to be effective and valid in Dr. Jim Bixler's doctoral dissertation study for his PsyD degree.

Growing Strong Oaks in Life (SOIL)
"But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” -Matthew 13:23
What do we need in the SOIL of our lives to become strong and healthy human oaks of righteousness in life? The SOIL classes dig deeper, giving you tools and ways to cultivate good soil. Consider the parable of the soil; way side, rocky, thorny, and good, fertile soil. In order to grow, we must create an environment where we can thrive; we must become good, fertile soil to bear good fruit. This class includes formed prayers to walk you through forgiveness.

Pruning for Fruitfulness
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes that it will be even more fruitful." -John 15:1-2
These classes help us understand areas in which we often struggle and have trouble, to which we can apply the principles learned in the Rooted and Grounded and Growing SOIL classes to gain healing and freedom.

Are you ready to find freedom and victory in your life? It has taken you a lifetime up until now to become bound. When you learn the truth, it takes a relatively short time for you to be set free.
