Not at all. All Zoom gatherings will be recorded and shared with you. If you can’t join live, you can still fully engage through the video lessons in our curriculum portal and the companion workbook.

This course isn’t about weight loss—it’s about cultivating peace and seeing ourselves through God’s eyes. While some participants may experience physical changes, the real goal of From Shame to Shalom is a transformed self‑perception—moving away from shame, striving, and rules toward a place of rest, dignity, and wholeness.

We focus on renewing your identity—not in the mirror, but in your heart and spirit. If healing your body happens as a byproduct, that’s wonderful. But the beauty of this journey is discovering that you are already beloved, worthy, and a masterpiece in progress—just as you are.

You’re not alone in wondering that—and it’s a great question. Most programs focus on behavior—what you do, what you eat, how you look. Many are excellent at teaching tools to manage habits or beliefs. But From Shame to Shalom goes deeper. This course is built on the journey of transforming self-perception, not just behavior.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Rooted in Grace, Not Performance. This is more than self-help—it’s grace-help. We’ll invite Jesus to heal the shame that whispers “you’re not enough” and replace it with the truth that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

Centered on Your Whole Identity in Christ. Instead of simply learning new habits, you’ll rediscover your worth as God’s temple—valued for who He is, not what you do.

Faith-Integrated Learning. We weave Scripture and Spirit-led wisdom throughout: reflection, worship, and practical life are all illuminated by God’s Word.

Exclusive Focus on Shame & Self-Image. This wasn’t designed for weight loss or habit tracking. Rather, it’s built to heal the voice of shame that often arises around our bodies, identities, and worth. You’ll learn to replace those shame-based patterns with a healthy, God-worthy view of yourself.

Sustainable, Heart-Level Change. Unlike courses built on external goals, this one invites gentle transformation—layer by layer, “from one degree of glory to the next” (2 Cor 3:18), unpacking false identities and reconstructing a self-image that aligns with God’s heart for you.

In essence: This is a journey into grace, back into identity, and toward lasting peace. It’s not primarily about habits or numbers—it’s about your healed view of you. So, yes, this is different. It’s not just another program—it’s an invitation to be seen and be free—as God sees and loves you.

We meet for 9 live Zoom sessions from October 14 through December 16, with Thanksgiving week off. Each week you’ll receive a short video, a printable workbook section, and an optional live Zoom session with us. The pace is gentle and grace-filled. Even after our class concludes, you will continue to have access to the course videos.

There’s no such thing. You can’t fail at grace. Come as you are. Be in process. This is holy ground, and you’re already welcome.

Zoom classes are held Wednesdays at 3:30 PM Pacific (4:30 Mountain, 5:30 Central, 6:30 Eastern), starting October 14 and continuing through December 16. We’ll rest Thanksgiving week, so there is no class on November 25. You’ll find the Zoom link on each class in the Events calendar.
