🌿 There’s a conversation happening right now that resonates deeply with so many of us, and it all started for me during a recent trip to Belize.
It began with a simple question I asked my teammate Sue Carpenter, and what unfolded was a profound discussion that we knew had to be shared. When we brought it back to our FCC (Freedom Coaching Circle) Coaches during a Zoom session, the impact was undeniable—this message is so timely for the season we’re in.
God is waiting to provide for us, but it requires us to shift our agreement from the world’s system of provision to the Kingdom of Father God. Sue, who has served as a missionary in over 30 countries, has lived through both seasons of abundance and seasons of lack in multiple areas.
Given the current fears many are facing, I knew it was time to dive deeper into this conversation. What came out of it was nothing short of beautiful, offering hope and strategic insights for these uncertain times.
If you find yourself seeking the Lord’s provision—whether it’s emotional, mental, physical, or financial—we’d love to invite you into this circle of conversation and prayer...
If this sounds like an event you're interested in, we want to hear from you!
Simply stay tuned (see below) if you're interested.
We look forward to exploring this idea together. 🙏💕

Hearing God in Belize
Merri Ellen and several of the women from the Freedom Coaching Circle once again enjoyed serving in Belize this summer!
This time we enjoyed multiple camps: kids, pre-teens, and women!
Enjoy the blog post on what happened...
Wow, we sure fell deeper in love with the lover of our souls!
We encountered an incredible freedom together with each other in the flow of Holy Spirit and will be processing probably for decades!
We are already getting multiple questions: "When are you coming back?!"

Hearing God Through Art
We had so much fun on Zoom together in our Freedom Coaching Circle community led by several of our fabulous artists!
In January 2024, we took women through the Biblical basics of dream interpretation in prayer with the Lord, testing it according to what we read in Scripture and fruit of Holy Spirit.
This continues to be a game changer for many of my students and clients in our Freedom Coaching Circle.
September 28 - 30, 2023
It was truly a life-giving and transformative time, and we couldn't be more grateful for each of you who joined us.

Love's Journey to the Cross
(February to April 2023)
In February, we were unpacking the unfailing heart of God.
We, as women together, enjoyed counting down
LOVE’S Journey to the Cross...
to RESURRECTION SUNDAY (April 9th)
when Jesus went to the cross
and to hell for you and me,
defeating sin and death,
for us to be set free.
It truly is the greatest love story ever!
Word of Encouragement Event
March 13, 2023
This was a fun experiment we had felt the Lord nudge us to do FIRST in July 2022. It became a time to bless women around the world who requested a word of encouragement. We were all in for a sweet surprise...
December 7, 2022
We enjoyed an interactive event together on zoom leaning in to hear God in this season!

Be inspired by these testimonials from past events
“Hi Merri Ellen. I just wanted to thank you so much for putting on this event.
I grew up (in a traditional church) and felt like my faith was always being squelched. I was not supposed to get too excited. This weekend I learned that God IS bigger and wants to talk to me and I have found a new way to study scripture and its transformational.
...My friend invited me to this event and I spent all weekend with God. It was so amazing!! I have been sleeping better and not waking up with this feeling of dread. I am learning that He wants to be my best friend and the bridegroom I never had.
I love your passion and excitement and Jesus's love shines through you. Thank you again.”
...
"Bless you, Merri Ellen... for being the willing vessel the Lord is looking for, to be His new wineskins, carefully holding His precious Spirit, and dispensing it to all who are around you. You are all amazing, and I am so blessed and privileged... I feel I have seen and learned so much. Thank you!"
...
"Hi Merri Ellen,
I can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience of this event.
I wish to express my gratitude for your openness and for all the women who shared their stories. It is so powerful when a group of women can get together and be vulnerable and talk openly about their faith!
Again, Thanks be to God for your work with women and this Coaching Circle. We all need this!"
...
"God speaks to me!"
...
"Merri Ellen I cannot explain to you what's happening in my heart. God is good. Listening to the Holy Spirit is so much sweeter than all the other voices I've been hearing for years."
...
"I love the questions that we went through for various situations that helped lead us in meeting with Jesus and I really appreciate the scripture passages included in this teaching as well as the time we spent actually practicing what we were learning.
I have used what I learned in these sessions every day since and it has been a real paradigm shift for me and others around me as they have seen a change and excitement in me. I have been a believer since I was young but I have never experienced the kind of relationship with Jesus that I am now since putting into practice these ways of hearing God."
...
"I have learned some very valuable tools that I go through every day in my quiet time and when I pray for others. I pray for others in a whole new way and I am waking up expecting Jesus to meet with me each morning. I am so enjoying being in His presence, both on my own and with others."
"I've told so many people about you and how much I enjoyed learning from you. It's been amazing for me and I feel like I've really just begun on this journey!"
...
"Thank you so much for this. There is so much going on that I've been encouraged by since the course. Jesus is so amazing and I love the time I am spending with him. It's opened up a whole new way of seeing things... Kingdom perspective!"
...
"Meeting you was so timely. I was a believer for 17 years and just realized how misinformed I was. I don't think I believed my Good, Good Father. If people knew the truth of the Word, they would be free indeed."
I love to gather people via zoom… for interactive reflecting, equipping, spiritual direction and coaching with Jesus leading the way!
