Of course, we can't tell you all of the details of what happens the Destiny Project, but we can share with you the stories of life-changing impact from those who've taken this journey with us.

Ok . . . I'm a true cynic, so when I heard about the Destiny Project, I thought, "probably some touchy- feely, New Age Christian thing filled with affirmations, visualizations and lots of sharing." But after several attempts to quietly bow out, I was told, "Hey, there's room for two more!" Definitely a God thing. I signed up, albeit reluctantly. And to be honest, yes, there was something called imaginative prayer and lots of sharing, but to my surprise God showed up right smack in the middle of it. I came away with a whole new sense of myself, as if seeing myself for the first time from God's perspective. His desires for my life to transcend the here and now and take me into eternity. And without sounding too over-the-top, this course is reshaping how I do life. I came away with new friends, deeper friendships and a glimpse of the type of community only reserved for Heaven. The masterpiece each of us are created to be is not something we can easily see, but this course is designed to reveal it. And after you see what He is up to, you don't ever want to go back to being a mere shadow of your true self.

When I accepted the invitation to walk this journey called "The Destiny Project", I anticipated it as a pathway to my career changes. I could not have imagined the fire it would ignite within me in all arenas of my life. I am so enthusiastic about this process of discovery and I cannot wait to see what is around the corner! This has truly been the start of real life-change, and I am so grateful that my heart was opened.

I feel as though the words I say aren't big enough to contain all that I've learned about myself in these short eight weeks. I now feel that all the areas of my life are integrated into one powerful person inhabited by the Holy Spirit. There is no longer any tension between my creative pursuits, church, job, family, friends, etc. All the parts of my life that I love so well are now joined together in Christ, and are rooted and grounded in His astonishing, breathtaking love and beauty that permeates the dark and shatters all memory and longing for the life I once lived. It must be this way from now on in all things I do and am until the day I leave this earth. I have my mission now, and I'm on the path that Jesus and I have carved out together. He has given me a life that is more than I could ever have dreamed up for myself, and it's all just beginning!

I've been in ministry for 20 years and have done a ton of retreats, projects, personality tests and spiritual formation experiences. The Destiny Project has been unlike any thing I've experienced before. It helped connect the dots for me and see the bigger picture and purpose. Mostly it's about creating a sacred space for God to speak and reveal who He made us to be and how He intends us to live. I was able to look back at my life and see how I've been living out this unique identity all along, but I've been adding on a lot of "shoulds." This has given me the clarity to focus my life choices, to do and be what He made be to be -- no more, no less. That's where contentment lies. It's freedom and confidence in my own skin.

Carie | Granada Hills, CA

For many years I had a longing inside myself that there must be something more to my life than just being a wife and a mother. I was on a mission to find out who I was and what my greater purpose in this life is. The Destiny Project came into my life at a point where I was feeling so desperate and almost hopeless at the same time. Participating in The Destiny Project has shed light on my purpose and who God truly intends me to be. The course of the project brought much tears, laughter and hope and created such a special bond between the ladies who participated in our group that I did not want it to end. God has a purpose for all of us and it sometimes when life gets in the way it can become diluted and we lose sight of that purpose. It was amazing to be able to connect with myself, others and our Creator in ways I have never before.

I wasn't really sure what the DP was going to do for me. I have been seeing therapists for 20 years for depression. I have gone through life wondering why in the world I'm here. I have been living one day at a time without a feeling of purpose. I had no sense of joy in my life. Through the DP I have discovered a new me!!! I DO have a purpose in life and I now have the tools I need to carry out my life's mission in Christ. I am SO thankful I heard about this project. It has had a HUGE impact on my life.

Julia | Edgewood, WA

I'm so happy to be back in my flower business, as this is truly who I am. And God, in His goodness, resuscitated my nearly dead marriage. Now I see new growth and opportunity every day. I've kept my dream map and I look at it often, to remind me of the deeper things in my heart, and about how all of it matters, and all of it needs to show up in the way that I live? Such joy & freedom! God IS good, and He doesn't want us to be held prisoner behind false notions of who we are and what we "should" be doing. We are created in His image and likeness, which means we are AMAZING, beautiful, life-giving, creative and powerful.

I have always been one to take a few risks, but there was this barrier I couldn't get past as a leader. God has moved me past it through the Destiny Project. And the fruit is so fulfilling! Here's one example, I have two small groups, both filled with women who are different stages in their walk and growth. I have felt so ill-equipped to deal with them. I know how to lead a book study, but some of this stuff seems out of my league. Because of the Destiny Project, I see that I have more confidence as a leader and more courage to listen and obey what the Spirit is telling me, even those small nudges that seem "out there"! This week in both groups I felt a leading to do something that was unusual and a bit out of my comfort zone. It involved prayer and confession. I usually avoid making people feel uncomfortable, and I don't like to put myself out there. But I did it anyway and the results were mind blowing! The breakthroughs that happened in both groups were visible with sobbing, repentance, confession, unity, support from one group member to another, showing compassion and boldness. It was more than I could have imagined God would do. And only God knows the ripples that will continue through what was done in their hearts this week. My next risk is to move toward planning a silent retreat for our church. I can't wait to see how God moves through that and continues to open doors in this area of ministry.

I highly recommend The Destiny Project to everyone ready to step into their full potential and live life to the fullest. You will discover your gifts with such clarity that you will not be able to contain them. Truly a gift to give yourself and share with all.

Sherie | WA

In my course of nearly 59 years, I have been coached, trained, and been a part of many Bible studies and Women's groups that are "designed" to help the participants find their calling. I entered into the Destiny Project already familiar with my values, what makes me tick, gift-mix and the whole "Nine Yards". The Destiny Project is a vehicle to help us get far and beyond the "head" method that most of us are so familiar with. Through the Destiny Project I have been able to connect deeply to my own heart in a way that is fun, passionate, illuminating and deeply, deeply real. For the first time in my life, I actually feel like I KNOW myself, and have already started to walk in the REAL me. Things have shifted from "head" knowledge to HEART knowledge! I wish I had had something like this when I was in my 20's. I'd be shaking the earth today!!

Denise | Austin, TX

When asked about my DP experience from my friends, my one word description has been "transformational." The experience throughout each of the activities felt life changing to me in a way that felt real and true. I connected with myself, with new friends, and with my good and beautiful God. Nothing felt forced; rather, the environment and the activities lead me to "meet" who I really am, who I want to be. What can be more powerful than being who we were designed/intended to be?

Edie | Austin, TX

This world constantly feeds our minds and souls with lies about God and ourselves. The Destiny Project gives you the tools and space to slow down and listen to God and let His truth about who you really are wash over you. It helps you uncover the beautiful desires God has placed deep in your heart to serve and follow Him. I crawled into the weekend beaten and tired. I walked out encouraged and loved and motivated to be all that God has called me to be.

Basimma | Austin, TX

The Destiny Project retreat was a powerful journey of revealing what is deep in my heart and who my identity is in Him. The retreat format allowed me to be among a beautiful, natural setting, creating the space and time for this process to be revealed, as well as be in close a community of diverse women who also participate in helping you uncover the masterpiece within. Our coach facilitated our sessions masterfully, with sensitivity to the group's needs, as well as each individual's needs. This has been a life-changing event that has shaped the way I go through my days. I just hope it comes around again soon, so all the women in my life can experience this!

Sam | Austin, TX

Excellent course! Highly intuitive with just the right amount of structure. This has changed my perception of myself and will transform my world as I step into my true identity in Christ!
