Encounter is for you if you’re hungry for inside-out transformation with Jesus and looking for:

  • Core Encounter Coaching skills: tools you can use immediately with coaching clients, family, friends, coworkers, ministry relationships, and those you mentor.

  • A secure and honoring community: authentic relationships where your growth is supported, your story is respected, and Jesus is welcomed.

  • Practice + feedback: repeated coaching and small group facilitating reps in your cohort, and focused growth feedback in Mentor Coach-led sessions.

The fruit comes through repetition and engagement, not just inspirational content

If you’re coming primarily for personal healing, you’re in the right place—Jesus is kind and present. If you’re emotionally and spiritually able to stay connected in community, take ownership of your growth, and follow God one faithful step at a time then you’ll do just fine.

If you’re feeling a ‘nudge’ to jump in but have some doubts about your readiness, please schedule a free 30-minute enrollment coach session where we can help you discern if Encounter is an appropriate next step for you.
