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.

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.
