Testimonials

“I'd say the thing that impacted me the most from the training was the ability to use perspective to change my view and feelings about things I once thought were set in stone. Fresh perspective doesn't fix everything, but when you come up against something that requires it as a solution, it's a handy tool to have. Probably the biggest change that people who know me best noticed is an improved ability to feel things as deep as they go, forgive, and move forward. It's very liberating to know that when I deal with a problem definitively, it won't be coming back to haunt me for years to come.

In terms of my relationships, the training helped motivate me to be completely honest about my feelings while also standing up for my needs. Once I discovered my worth and value from God, risking love and other emotions in a relationship context became much less scary, since the outcome doesn't make me any less valuable to God or within myself. After the training, I felt, and continue to feel, that the only limitations in my life are the ones I put there. The training helped me learn that God did not place a spirit of fear in my heart. It may sound corny, but living a no-fear lifestyle while keeping God's counsel at the same time is an amazing experience.”

– Chris Whittaker

“In a nutshell, the training offered us an opportunity to introspect on patterns of behavior in our lives, which in turn, revealed patterns of beliefs about one’s self and others. The exercises during the training allowed us to experience, in a tangible way, the patterns of beliefs which govern the success and failures of our lives. Without these structured, monitored exercises to promote such thought, and provide feedback during the process, we would have continued to live on autopilot, never making the connection.

The Encounter has given us a mile marker to constantly come back to, in order to maintain that mental 'check and balance' which leads to empowerment over life circumstances that are continually changing. It has been a tool in which we have been able to examine other parts of our life as God has revealed to us. In other words, one can take the principles of The Encounter and apply it to his or her life in whatever area they are currently needing a breakthrough.

For us, the most significant breakthroughs have come in the area of our marriage. We know that God graciously allowed us to hear about The Encounter in His perfect timing. Our hearts were longing for so much more, and through The Encounter, we found the tools to make it happen!”

– Christy and Michael Strait

“I was challenged to discover what I believe about how God expects me to relate to people in my life and then equipped to live those beliefs out in the way I act toward them. I have seen God use my willingness to step out into uncharted waters with my loved ones as a tool to restore broken relationships and deepen friendships. It is so freeing to be in those honest places with the people I love and want to impact.”

– Dene'

“This opportunity for personal insight has been one of the most affirming, encouraging times of my life.”

– C.M.

“I cannot say enough about the significance this training has had on my life. The power I received to affect lasting change in my relationships, as well as my personal journey to wholeness, has been of enormous proportion.

I learned to love and how to be free to receive love from others. Bondages from years of limiting belief systems were broken as I opened myself to hear and even experience truth in ways I'd never heard or experienced before. This training is life-changing if you are ready for change.”

– Leila

“My experience was nothing like my expectations, It was far greater than I could have ever imagined. Through the learning exercises I participated in, I was able to have the most wonderful encounter with God and gain the insight that helped me to be more of what I knew God wanted for my life. The outcome from a few committed days was a defining moment in my life and consequently gave me, my family, my husband, and the people I encounter the intimacy I have come to know. Most importantly, I have experienced God as never before and felt his love in a powerful way.”

– Rebekah Majors-Manley

“This experience was life-changing and freeing! If you want to move to the next level of your life, I highly recommend this well-spent time out of your busy schedule.”
