Are you a Christian Leader, Therapist, or Life Coach who desires to be re-certified and equipped with the right tools to serve more effectively in this season?

“I had to push through a lot to get through this process. I had just finished my doctoral studies—the ink wasn’t even dry—when the Lord said, ‘I need you to do this.’”

“It was simple obedience. The Lord said, ‘Leslie, I need you to complete this program.’ Even though the program had already closed, I knew I had to obey God.”

“The lectures and conversations were so informative—they touched every piece of what I was going through. It didn’t feel like a task; it felt like a conversation that was healing me while I learned.”

“This program stretched me spiritually, not just professionally. As a licensed educator and leader, it took me to a deeper level of discernment, obedience, and hearing from God.”

“Sometimes you need credentials to open the doors God wants you to walk through. God told me, ‘You’re already doing the work—I need you to be certified in it.’

“We were in a circle of prayer, share, and bear burdens. It was one of the most powerful circles I’ve ever been a part of.”

“As a teacher and coach, I believe churches should invest in this. We need these tools to help God’s people heal, maintain deliverance, and live Holy Spirit-led lives.”

“My niche is helping people heal from church hurt and spiritual abuse—especially those wounded by leaders or authority figures. We need to heal for real.”

“I entered this program one way as a professional and follower of Christ—and left a better, more improved version of myself.”

 

“It wasn’t that I said yes—God said yes. I kept getting Shakeeta’s emails, and the Lord said, ‘Do it now.’ I wasn’t planning to become a coach, but obedience brought transformation.”

 

“Through the program, God flooded me with ideas and showed me He was preparing me for a pivot I wasn’t willing to take on my own.”

 

“This course helped me separate ministry, therapy, and coaching clearly—something I never realized I needed.”

 

“My niche is grief and loss—helping people rebuild after loss or seasons of change. This certification helped me step out in faith, start my own business, and see how therapy and coaching can complement each other.”

“The number one determining factor in choosing this program was the Christ-like credibility. In the information webinar alone, the presence of God was prevalent. Words were spoken to me that had already been spoken directly from the Holy Spirit, so I knew clear confirmation was at work.”

 

“Upon finishing the program, I received so much clarity about my purpose and who I am called to serve.”

 

“After the last module, the Holy Spirit downloaded a full blueprint into me—showing how to move forward in my ministry, create my content, and build my programs.”

 

“This Life Coaching Certification Program has truly been a blessing. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to become a Certified Christian Life Coach.”

 

“After completing the program, the Holy Spirit continued to speak—downloading revelation for over four hours. I was overwhelmed with excitement, joy, and divine direction.”
