Cohorts
You don’t have to take the next step alone.
Two small-group journeys for Christians in the middle of the road. Each meets live on Zoom for one hour a week, with no more than 12 people. If you want to go further, add a retreat together in Italy.
Solid Ground
“Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation.”Hebrews 6:1

Many sincere people have gone to church for years and still feel something is missing. Some never had a personal encounter with Jesus. Some were never baptized as believers. Some cannot say with confidence where they stand with God. Hebrews 6 names the foundation every believer needs. Solid Ground lays it, gently and clearly, so you can finally move forward.
This is for you if…
- you believe in God but wonder whether you really know Jesus
- your faith feels like a habit you inherited rather than a relationship
- you have never been baptized as a believer and aren’t sure why it matters
- the Holy Spirit is a word you know, not someone you have experienced
Five weeks, one foundation
Each session is one hour live on Zoom, with a short reading and a simple practice for the week.
- Week 1
Is this for real?
Repentance and faith. Why Nicodemus, a respected religious leader, still needed to be born again.
- Week 2
What happened at the cross
Faith toward God. The difference between earning God’s love and receiving it.
- Week 3
The step many of us skipped
Baptism. What it means, why Jesus asked for it, and how to take that step.
- Week 4
Filled, not just informed
The Holy Spirit and the laying on of hands. Receiving the power to live the Christian life.
- Week 5
Living with eternity in view
Resurrection and eternal judgment. Assurance, hope and your next step.

Times of Refreshing
“Repent, then, and turn to God… that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”Acts 3:19

You know Jesus. You have served, given and believed. But today you feel tired, dry or discouraged, and church is not filling the gap. Elijah felt the same after his greatest victory. God did not lecture him. He fed him, let him rest, and spoke in a gentle whisper. Times of Refreshing gives you four weeks of honest community and steady discipline. If you can, add a retreat in Italy to be renewed by the Holy Spirit, away from the noise.
This is for you if…
- you love God, but your prayer life and Bible reading feel dry
- you are worn out from serving, or hurt by people in church
- you want accountability and people who understand
- you are ready to step away for a few days and meet God again
Four weeks, and a retreat if you want it
Each session is one hour live on Zoom, with a short reading and a simple practice for the week.
- Week 1
Thirsty again
“Deep calls to deep.” Naming where you are, honestly, in front of God and others.
- Week 2
Under the broom tree
What drained you. Rest, grief and the gentle whisper that met Elijah.
- Week 3
Rivers of living water
The promise of the Holy Spirit, and asking to be filled again.
- Week 4
Rhythms that last
Simple daily disciplines of Word, prayer, rest and community to carry you forward.

Morning teaching, prayer ministry, silence, long walks, shared meals and a commissioning on the last evening.
