What is Faithwalking foundations?
A Spiritual Formation Process
Faithwalking Foundations is our cornerstone curriculum and is offered as six 10-week modules each intentionally designed to take you on a journey of growth, transformation, and formation. Each module includes six group sessions, four coaching sessions, and assignments to be completed between coaching sessions. The modules focus on six topics, self-awareness, authenticity, managing anxiety, emotional maturity, integrity, and living on mission with God.

Format & rhythm
Information Alone Does Not Transform
The Bible has been available to us for hundreds of years, we have thousands of books at our fingertips, and we can find virtually anything we want online. If information were all it takes, more people would be experiencing transformation all around the world.
We believe that experience and practice of the right information is what lead us to be transformed, that’s why everything we do is designed around a cycle of information, practice, and reflection. The content, assignment, and coaching rhythm is how the information, practice, and reflection cycle will look during Faithwalking Foundations modules.
Content: You will participate in six group sessions that are led by a trained facilitator.
Assignments: You will have homework after every session intended to help you create space for reflection and apply the material in your life.
Coaching: Each participant will be part of a coaching group with one or two other participants and a volunteer coach in between large group sessions.

Foundations Modules
New Foundations cohorts typically begin in January, May, and September. Modules are predominantly offered as online cohorts and taken sequentially. The modules are broken up as follows:
Authenticity: In Faithwalking we believe that authenticity is a vital ingredient for the fully alive life. Learn how shame and your own sense of self-worth are impacting you in negative ways and get tools for addressing your shame and moving beyond it. Learn how to increasingly live as one integrated self.
Living on Mission with God: Live a life of purpose on mission with God. Learn to love like Jesus loved, serve the common good, and work with others to make the world a better place. Learn to see brokenness in the places where you already spend your time and to wonder what wholeness might look like there. Learn how to partner with God in God’s ongoing mission in the places where you live, work, and play.
A community on a journey together
Thousands of people have joined us on this journey toward wholeness, and it is our desire to make wholeness possible for individuals and communities around the world!
Because of Faithwalking, I’m becoming more of who God wants me to be. It’s scary and it hurts sometimes, but I’m finding a deeper experience of God’s love a healing, a journey toward wholeness and I’m really thankful, really grateful for all of it.

I thought I had to give up definition to connect with other people. And what I’ve found is that without defining myself I never really was connected with them. The lack of awareness about this in my life and the impact is, is this kind of trail of shallow relationships I’ve left behind. And it’s been a lot of work for me now to actually invest in those relationships and, and show up in them and try to build a foundation in the relationships I’m in now, I actually have deep and lasting friendships.
