I honestly can't say enough good things about my life coaching experience with Kristen. Her passion for helping people rediscover lost identity through God's love is evident and made such a profound difference for me. Truly a life changing experience and I'm forever grateful.
Kesli
I went through the “Called by Name” small group and it was such a great book filled with amazing content that fits so many scenarios. Couldn't recommend it more!
Taylor
Called By Name came into my life at a time when I didn't even realize how much I needed healing. I was carrying pain from my past and walking through present struggles, unsure of how to let God into those broken places. This group reminded me that God never left me—even in the hardest moments—and that He still calls me His, even when I feel unworthy.
Gabby
The Adi Project has great potential to rewrite what it means to serve the Kingdom from a place of health, wholeness, and restoration. I believe there will be lots of fruit that will leaving a lasting impact, would recommend!
Mason
I went through the small group and it was an eye opener! This was definitely an excellent way of helping to deal with different issues that may arise.
Stephen
Going through the Called by name small group was a great opportunity to open up and learn more about myself and how God can help me in my trauma.
Elliot
This team is dedicated to helping people process trauma in a Godly way. I've been able to challenge my identity and learn to see myself the way God sees me through this small group and its curriculum! Would absolutely recommend!
