TRAINING THAT EQUIPS & PREPARES
All courses present facets of the Christian Wholeness Framework. These courses consistently enjoy high satisfaction levels with participants, who should expect to grow in CUREe (Connect, Understand, Respond, Engage, evaluate) with God, themselves and others, and the four domains of their life TASK: Transformation, Attitudes, Skills, and Knowledge.
Through this training God answered a lot of my questions about how to bring counselling and spirituality together.

1. INTRO TO THE CWF

You gave us very practical tools that are profound and precise, and you taught us how to really be transformed. I felt like I wasn’t in a lesson or class but in a family.
