The Path to Inner Healing

Our Lord does not want us merely “coping” or perpetually managing anxiety, overwhelm, or other adverse patterns of emotion. He has come to make all things new! In this talk, De will shed light on the connection between present day adverse habits of mind / habits of emotion and early wounding we may have experienced. She will guide us to encounter the Lord interiorly, where He awaits us and longs to bring restoration and healing to our hearts. Come, and let us journey together on the path to inner healing! We will explore:

Rupture and disintegration we experience from early life experiences
Identity lies, inner vows and adverse patterns of behavior that often take root in our lives
Reintegration: getting to the heart of the matter with our Lord

This session is ideal for a half-day mini-retreat format or longer.

Freedom Amidst Uncertainty

Anxiety. Worry. Not enough…time, energy, money, popularity, worthiness. We are captive to fears, limiting beliefs, and quite frankly, lies. Yet, Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection claimed our freedom: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” – Galatians 5:1

In this talk, De guides us to:

Encounter our Lord where He can always be found: abiding within the heart of our own hearts.
Anchor ourselves to God’s Truth and to His promised peace that surpasses all understanding.
Identify the lies and distortions that ensnare us and lead us to feel anxious.
Understand the importance of a self-supportive inner life.
Become more rooted and grounded in God’s Love.

Being the Beloved

While we may likely believe the sentiment, “God loves you,” we often fall short when it comes to allowing the fullness of this truth to deeply land within our hearts and change our lives. For if my day-to-day existence reflected my true identity as Beloved of God, wouldn’t I perhaps speak more kindly to myself, shower myself with compassion rather than criticism, and desire to share the love of God more freely with others?

In this talk, De guides us to:

Consider some common ways we unknowingly reject our true identity in Christ
Understand the continuum we are journeying along – from self-rejection to self-acceptance to self-transcendence – and how this impacts our relationship with the Lord
Unpack and pray with Scriptures that reveal our chosenness and our belovedness
Discover ways to live the life of a beloved child of God, right in the midst of our busy, messy, culturally-pressured lives

The Impact of Your Contribution

I am still unpacking memories and experiences from the Restore retreat last year and am receiving much fruit from my time with my coach. It is not hyperbole to say that I wouldn’t have made it through this walk of fire without you all.

Thank you for the many seeds planted in my healing journey and for taking the time to walk with me. It was truly a gift – for my family too. I feel prepared for more of God’s work, now and ahead.

I never thought I could be happy again. It was an amazing weekend, and I hold all of you very dear to my heart! Thank you so much.

I just wanted to thank you again for sharing your wisdom and joy with the ladies who attended the event. I heard so many positive compliments about your talk. You are a treasure! Wishing continued blessings on the valuable work of your Ministry.

I had a transformative experience in our first coaching session, that is still rippling through. There is so much love and gentle mercy pouring into my heart from Jesus, like a wellspring that I had unknowingly closed because of my doubt that He could reach me in my sorrows.

Thank you so much for your guidance. I can’t imagine sorting through these emotions without your calm reassurance.

Your coaching was valuable and transformational for me, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that God used our time together for His glory. I am still experiencing freedom and breakthroughs because of your guidance. I will forever be thankful for your time and care.

I encountered my faith in a new way and light started to shine on wounds from my past.

I experienced tremendous healing at the retreat. You have a gift to reach people in their woundedness. Thank you and the team for being so gentle, welcoming and gracious.

The retreat was such a powerful awakening for me. I did not realize the healing it could bring.

I’m basking in God’s goodness and love returning from such a unique time of heavenly fellowship.

You and every member of your team showed me such love and dignity.

This was, by far, the most powerful retreat! To witness the healing and transformation was so moving.

This is such a graced ministry of healing and hope and restoration to our innate, God-given dignity!

At the retreat, God the Father gathered up the broken pieces of my heart that I had been trying to hold together myself all these years. He went directly to the source of my shame and allowed me to feel safe enough to finally bring things that lay hidden in my mind and heart for years – that weighed me down my whole life – into the light for healing.

You use your gifts so sacrificially and humbly, yet truly with authority, for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God.

It was amazing to feel loved by these women, to be united through suffering, and to experience moments where I thought to myself, “This must be what heaven is like.”

The way our bodies, minds, and spirits are all taken into account and led into healing is very special at this retreat. The physical, psychological, and spiritual all come together, providing a profound experience.

I parted with something on the grounds of that retreat that I’m not sure I could have ever done in any other setting (I’ve tried for years). It was so safe.

Each talk stirred up my heart in places I would have avoided on my own and not addressed, but you gently took me to those places.

I have a beautiful image now imprinted in my heart of God the Father and His Love for me. At the retreat, I was freed from something that has burdened me since I was a little girl.

I want you to know that God used you to open my heart to Him in a very intimate and safe space.

The presence of the Holy Spirit was palpable! What a gift. Thank you.

I felt the Holy Spirit among us and that through De’s talk, prayers and adoration I was able to hear God’s voice within me. Thank you!

Your witness to faith and perseverance is indeed incredibly inspiring. I have learned so much from you!

I am in awe of your selfless, holy work in this ministry.

I had no idea I would ever encounter a journey like this to begin to heal and feel some hopefulness instead of hopelessness.

Oh the retreat was beautiful & healing & consoling for my lonely soul!

I feel closer to Jesus and His loving mercy and grace. Thank you for sharing your gift of insight, listening and healing.

I am still feeling so filled with gratitude and peace from this weekend’s retreat and all the beautiful women who ministered to us and all the brave women who came to bear their wounds and hearts.

Your prayers flow so spontaneously from my experience and are just beautiful. You have a true gift!

I am amazed at how you are able to put into words the jumble of thoughts in my mind!

I am growing from a place of shame and guilt to a place of kindness and respect for myself.

My coach is amazing! Our sessions have been so fruitful for me and for my family.

My coach is able to get right to the core of the issues, and she challenges me in a genuine and loving way.

Together we’ve created this awesome connection that helps me feel unafraid to face any situation!

Coaching with you has opened up a whole new way to view myself and my relationships; no longer through the lens of shame and judgement.

Wisdom, grace and gentle guidance – all words I would use to describe you. Grateful to be a part of it!

Thank you for being an open vessel through which the Lord’s love flows so beautifully.
