TRANSFORM
A personal journey for leaders into greater freedom, fruitfulness, and disciple-making.

ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT LEADING A CHURCH OR MINISTRY OF FRUITFUL DISCIPLES
THAT MAKES A MAJOR IMPACT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
If so, you are invited to take part in TRANSFORM, a 9-month (September to May) Freedom In Christ program to help you ground your leadership firmly in the Biblical principles of identity, freedom, and transformation. Our aim is to equip you to go even deeper in God at a personal level, confident that this will lead to greater influence and fruitfulness in your life and ministry.
WHY TRANSFORM?
Freedom in Christ specializes in equipping Christian leaders worldwide to be all that God is calling them to be and releasing them to make the greatest possible Kingdom impact on earth.
In our experience, it is leaders who personally connect deeply with the core Biblical principles of identity, freedom, and transformation that withstand the schemes of the enemy and go on to make a real difference, becoming a leader who grows disciple-making disciples.
TRANSFORM will provide the necessary time and space in your schedule to engage at a deep level with life- and leadership-transforming truths. The program offers access to FIC resources embedded within a collaborative learning environment and 3 different Steps to Freedom appointments.
You’ll be experiencing TRANSFORM alongside other church and ministry leaders in various contexts; expect lasting and mutually beneficial friendships to form! During our time together, you will find an honest, “real” environment where you are not expected to perform but simply be yourself.
Your church or ministry is encouraged to support you as you go through TRANSFORM by providing the time and resources you need. It will be well worth it for them. After all, they can only progress as far as you can lead them and TRANSFORM will expand your capacity to lead effectively.
HOW WILL TRANSFORM BE DELIVERED?
You will engage with the program through different means including:
-
A schedule of self-study, homework and weekly meetings in your "Hub" (TRANSFORM group). Content is delivered both off-line and online through videos, Zoom meetings, assignments and discussions across three stages: REPOSITION, RETUNE, and REFOCUS.
-
Ensuring your foundation in Christ is securely in place through engaging with The Freedom in Christ Course and The Grace Course.
-
Two retreats, one in November and one in May, each focusing on deeper, personal transformation through His word and facilitated times of reflection and rest!
-
A core section of 10 weeks focused on becoming the leader that God has called you to be by unpacking Freedom in Christ’s Freed To Lead course and applying it in a structured way to your specific leadership context.
-
Growing your leadership impact through understanding Biblical principles of leading corporate people-systems into greater health.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
THE TRANSFORM INVITATION
This invitation is for leaders who want to kick-start and accelerate the process of personal and corporate discipleship that bears much fruit. It’s an intentional, structured program that will strengthen what already exists and help make your ministry even more effective. TRANSFORM is not specifically designed for leaders who are in crisis. Nevertheless, if that’s you, you are welcome to join us. You will have the opportunity to share one-on-one in a confidential, caring environment; be reconnected with Jesus, Who is the Truth; and find freedom to journey on.
THE TRANSFORM COMMITMENT
For a church or ministry, it’s quite a commitment in both time and money to send its leader to TRANSFORM, but it will be a wise investment that will pay dividends in the coming years. Before you make the commitment, please make sure that you have enough time and space available for you to engage with it on a weekly basis and to release you to go on 2 retreats within the year (One online retreat in November and one in-person retreat in May).
