Cohort NO.5

Deep Healing and Release

A journey of healing love—grieving honestly, forgiving deeply, and reconnecting wholeheartedly.

Do you long for deeper healing, freedom, and connection in faith and relationships? Through reflection and biblical practice, you’ll learn to lament, forgive, and trust God through friendship for spiritual renewal that leads to a freeing faith.

Learning to Lament - Suffering and pain are often avoided, yet through grieving and prevailing, we can accept grief’s invitation to deepen our love for God.

Forging Forgiveness – Explore a biblical theology of forgiveness as the key to freedom and flourishing to not make pain permissive but redemptive.

Freeing Friendship — Rediscover friendship in a disconnected world, practicing trust and reconciliation to experience and extend God’s healing love.
