Build deeper, more present connections through guided, hands-on practice.
Live via Zoom | 60 Minutes | No Prior Experience Needed | No Prep Required
Join a supportive, live environment designed to help you actively exercise relational skills—not just hear about them.
Note: These sessions are intentionally practice-focused with minimal lecture time, so you get real, experiential practice during the hour.
We’d love to see you there!
Many of us have learned a lot about healthy relationships, yet we still struggle to experience the life we long for – a closer connection with God, deeper relationships with our spouse, children or friends, greater joy and peace, and the ability to stay connected through conflict and big emotions.
What we’re often missing isn’t more information – it’s practice. Information alone doesn’t create transformation; real growth comes through developing the relational skills that make this kind of life possible.
Practice Classes help bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Through guided practice, you’ll develop specific relational skills that can deepen your connection with God, strengthen your relationships, and bring greater peace and joy to your daily life.
Welcome
Skill Intro
Guided Practice
Reflect & Connect
Our practice classes are live, guided Zoom sessions. After registering, you’ll receive a link to join on class day. When you arrive, you’ll enter a waiting room before being welcomed in with clear, simple instructions.
No preparation or prior experience is needed, and you do not need to “do it right” – just come ready to participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you. An optional downloadable handout is emailed the day before class if you prefer to follow along visually.
Participation in breakout rooms is entirely optional—you are always welcome to simply listen and observe.
*Application Bonus (Optional): Stay for an additional 10-minutes as Chris explores how the exercise can be applied in a specific context, such as marriage, counseling, or leadership. The focus will vary by class, but we encourage you to stay even when the topic doesn’t directly apply to you, as you’ll gain practical examples of using these relational practices in everyday life.

“This helped us re-find joy! We were checking all the boxes in our marriage/job/church, but felt something was missing. This class helped us find emotional words to describe who we are an where we were at each day, and gave us great tools for connecting and emotionally regulating. Thanks for helping us re-find our joy!
– Emily M., Past Class Participant
“I have started practicing appreciation and quieting against anxiety before and have noticed a change for the better. The theoretical background in the webinar, the guided exercises, and the sharing in the break-out sessions deepened my understanding and the motivation to continue practicing and sharing with others. Thank you!!! Your input in a time like ours is so valuable!”
