Section 2 - Testimonials
Participant Stories

Real people.
Real freedom.

These are honest accounts of what God does when people show up and do the work.

The power of prayer, worship, testimony, intercession, laying on of hands and more made this time more than just an experience. It took me to another level of spiritual maturity. I got un-stuck.

Participant

The Lord brought new light and understanding to how all these issues and baggage we carry are interconnected. It has gotten lighter as I work out my salvation and allow Him to heal my heart.

Participant

Words we speak, thoughts we entertain, prayers we diligently pray, fellowship, and compassion we share become the currency of life or death. This process gave me the tools to choose life, every single day.

Participant

I had been a Christian for years but was still carrying things I didn't have words for. The seminar gave me language for my wounds and then walked me through healing them.

Participant

Something broke open in me during Session Five that I hadn't expected. The combination of teaching, small group, and the retreat is unlike anything else I've experienced in the church.

Participant

This isn't a class. It's an encounter. I've been through it twice and I find something new every time. God uses this process in a specific and powerful way.

Cleansing Stream Seminar workbooks
Knowing the Father
01
Knowing the Father

Your relationship with God is the foundation of everything.

Everything Jesus did flowed from His intimate relationship with the Father. This session invites you into that same closeness — learning to receive His wisdom in your thoughts, feelings, and daily decisions. You are not an orphan. You are known.

Walking in the Spirit
02
Walking in the Spirit

You were made to be led. Not by fear or habit, but by the Spirit.

This session teaches the practical discipline of Spirit-led living. Instead of allowing old patterns to rule your choices, you will learn to recognize and follow the Spirit's leading one decision at a time.

Committing Everything to God
03
Committing Everything to God

Trust is not passive. It is a daily, active surrender.

Many of us believe in God without truly leaning on Him. This session confronts what we hold back and guides you into deeper trust, releasing control, embracing His plan, and resting in the direction He is already providing.

Speaking Words of Life
04
Speaking Words of Life

The words spoken over you have shaped you more than you know.

Scripture teaches that words are seeds, received, retained, and reproduced in the lives of those who hear them. This session reveals how to identify those seeds and begin sowing truth in their place.

Entering the Cleansing Stream
05
Entering the Cleansing Stream

This is where healing becomes personal.

God has a specific plan for your freedom and this session maps it out. You will walk through the process of restoring your relationship with the Lord and His rightful place in your life. Many call this the turning point of the entire journey.

Pressing Towards the Goal
06
Pressing Towards the Goal

Freedom is not a destination. It is a life you continue to walk in.

The final session equips you to sustain what God has done. You will learn to guard what you have received and step into serving the Lord from a place of genuine freedom and a humble heart. Not striving, but abiding.

Hear a sample
Hearing it is just

the beginning.

Every session follows the same four-step structure designed to take what God is saying and move it into how you actually live.

01 Foundation

Introduction

Each session opens with an overview of the principles ahead, setting the context for what God is about to do in that week's teaching.

02 Teaching

Video Teaching

Watch the session teaching by one of six pastors and ministers, each bringing decades of experience in healing and discipleship.

03 Community

Small Group Discussion

Three foundational questions guide your group deeper into the session's truth: What is it? Why do it? How do we do it?

04 Application

Putting It Into Practice

Every session closes with a practical challenge to live out what you have received. Truth applied is truth that transforms.

What to Expect

This process works
when you lean into it.
