The Book That Introduced Itself Before It Was Even Released

Written by Barbara Rolen on May 7, 2026. Posted in Serenity Retreat, Transformation Prayer, Transformation Prayer Training. No Comments on The Book That Introduced Itself Before It Was Even Released

Raising Truth Seekers is here — and the story of how it arrived is very on-brand.

On April 29, around 4pm, I checked my email and saw the notification I’d been waiting for: the books had arrived. I ran to the door, ripped open the top box, and held in my hands what had been ten years in the making — Raising Truth Seekers.

All I could do was cry. Every early morning and late night had been worth it. I started leafing through the pages… and froze.

No. It can’t be.

Every right-hand page read: Raising Truth Seekers Copy.

I had forgotten to remove the word “Copy” from the title in Atticus before uploading the file to Amazon’s KDP. The joyful tears were immediately replaced with embarrassment and shame. My thoughts started to spiral: I can’t sell these books. What will everyone think of me? I’ll be a laughing stock. I’m just not even going to go to the conference.

I sat in my pity party, texting my good friend about the terrible mistake I had made. He tried to make me feel better, but I was pretty inconsolable.

I noticed how late it was, so I jumped in my car to get to FedEx before they closed to pick up the poster for my book table. At least that should look good. Ugh. The font was way too small. I couldn’t even deal with it, so I headed through traffic to make a stop at Kroger before going home to continue the pity party. And what every proper pity party needs is a full jar of almond butter — my “crack.” (You can read more about that in Chapter 13.)

I knew what I needed to do…yet, I did not want to do it.

I wanted to stay mad at myself. Somewhere on the Grand Parkway, almond butter as my destination, the intensity of what I was feeling became impossible to ignore. So, reluctantly, I walked myself through the prayer process I’ve been using for the last dozen years.

What I found surprised me. The frustration wasn’t just about the mistake. It was doing double duty — keeping me from something much more uncomfortable underneath: embarrassment and shame, and the question of why I was feeling it so intensely.

I asked God what He wanted me to know. And He showed up.

He gently pointed out that my frustration wasn’t going to accomplish what I thought it would. And then He said something that stopped me cold: He had allowed this for His purposes.

That got my attention. That’s when the idea came — to share this story with the readers. But I knew there was more. I just wasn’t ready to look at it yet.

I laid in bed that night, certain that sleep wouldn’t come until I got to the bottom of this, so I faced it. I sat with the embarrassment and shame and let myself feel the weight of the words that had swirled in my head earlier: What will everyone think of me? I was almost embarrassed that I was still having those kinds of thoughts after all these years of starting to understand the New Covenant and walking in His finished work.

As I stayed with what I was feeling, I landed in a memory from high school. The details matter less than the words I heard that impacted me: What will the neighbors think? There it was — the same emotion. Shame. A familiar question with a familiar companion.

Then I found myself in another memory, a moment after I was married where I felt that same familiar shame. As I sat with those emotions, something became clear: a lie I had been carrying at the heart level: I don’t measure up. I can’t hit the mark.

I offered that belief to the Lord. He wasted no time.

He reminded me that His opinion is the only one that matters — and that He sees me as a 10 out of 10. When I checked that belief again, it no longer felt true. The Holy Spirit had persuaded my heart of what my head had known for years. For the first time, they were saying the same thing.

This is my way of life now. Sometimes, like this week, it takes me longer to be willing to look at my own stuff. But other times I can recognize it quickly and find myself actually grateful for the trials God allows. Because they keep leading me back to Him.

Oh, and the almond butter? I stood in that Kroger aisle staring at the very jar I’d been so compelled to buy. I could have put it in my cart with zero condemnation. Instead, I paused. Did I still feel compelled? No. I didn’t even want it anymore. And I walked away.

It really is true: it’s not what you do, but why you do it.

The corrected file was uploaded to KDP the next morning. And those books I thought I couldn’t sell? Each one went out with a testimony card tucked inside — a story that wouldn’t exist without the mistake. God really does waste nothing.

And that, friend, is exactly what this book is about.

I want to be honest with you: I did not raise my children using TPM. Raising Truth Seekers is the book I wish I had had. It’s the vision I received over a decade ago — that parents could have a tool to help their children get to the root of what’s happening on the inside, not just manage behavior from the outside. That they grow up knowing when and how to run to Jesus for His truth and perspective.

That vision is now a book. And the story of how it arrived — “Copy” and all — is just one more proof that this message is bigger than my ability to mess it up.

None of this would exist without the extraordinary generosity of the Serenity Retreat Board, whose support made it possible to gift a pre-release edition to participants at our Ring the Bell Fundraising Event on October 3 — the same evening we celebrated Serenity Retreat’s 25th Anniversary. And what a gift it was to watch the completed edition make its official debut at Convention 220 on May 1.

If you know a parent, a grandparent, a ministry leader, or a small group who needs this message — please pass it along. Every share helps it find the people it was written for.

Raising Truth Seekers is available now on Amazon

Paperback · Family Faith Press · ISBN 9798255539055

Thank you for being part of this story. No matter if you have prayed for me, given me encouragement, offered me the privilege to mentor you in a session, teach you in a course, or if you have shared your testimony, God has used it all to form this book in me.

With much gratitude,

When He Does What Only He Can Do

Written by Barbara Rolen on May 7, 2026. Posted in Serenity Blog, Serenity Retreat, Transformation Prayer. No Comments on When He Does What Only He Can Do

A reflection on a recent evening with Celebrate Recovery — and what happens when two communities discover they’ve been speaking the same language.

When Skip Koshak invited me to speak at Celebrate Recovery, he asked if there was a worship song I’d like sung before I shared. God picked it for me: Spirit of the Living God, by Vertical Worship.

It’s a fairly new song to me — but from the moment I heard it, I couldn’t wait to sing it with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are on a truth-seeking journey, just as I am. The lyrics speak of hungering to hear God’s voice, wanting to know Him more and more, hanging on His every word. From the very first stanza, something settled in the room. I sensed a kindred spirit among us as we worshipped together — knowing that every person there carried the same longing: God, show up. Not in a general, theological sense. Personally. In the specific places where I’m still stuck.

And then came the bridge: “When You do what only You can do — it changes us. It changes what we see and what we seek.”

That is what I came to talk about. And what I didn’t know yet was that before the evening was over, Skip himself would become the most powerful illustration of exactly that.

The Question Nobody Talks About

Because here’s what I’ve come to understand after years of walking with Jesus and years of sitting with people in their pain — most of us believe God can change us, or we at least have hope that He can. That’s not usually the question.

The question is how.

How does He actually get into those deep places? The ones that don’t respond to trying harder, praying more, or white-knuckling through another week?

I told them about the gap — the one James calls being double-minded. Knowing something in your head while believing something entirely different in your heart. I lived in that gap for a long time. Decades, actually. And I didn’t even realize there was a name for it. I just thought something was wrong with me.

Honoring What CR Is Already Doing

Before I said a word about Transformation Prayer Ministry, I wanted to honor what Celebrate Recovery is already doing — because these 12 Steps are a gift.

Step 1 — admitting we’re powerless — is the moment we stop pretending we can manage what was never ours to manage. It’s radical honesty. It acknowledges our need for God.

And Step 2 — believing that God can restore us to wholeness — that’s not just sobriety. Not just better behavior. Wholeness. I like to call that having God’s perspective, which results in transformation.

Here’s what I told them that night, and I’ll say it here too: I think a lot of us have quietly settled for something less than that. We’ve gotten better. We’ve gotten cleaner. But there are still rooms inside us we haven’t been able to let God into yet — not because we don’t want to, but because we don’t know how.

What I came to share was something that helped me find those rooms.

It Started With a Banner on a Wall

My church in Baton Rouge had a banner with Galatians 5:1: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” One ordinary Sunday I read those words and just… broke down. Not watery eyes — uncontrollable, ugly crying. Right there in my seat.

And I was confused by my own tears. Because I was sitting under incredible teaching every week. I knew who I was in Christ. I was even teaching it to children as the Children’s Director.

And yet my experience felt like chains draped around me.

That day in church I gave God permission to expose me. Because I didn’t just want to know the truth — I wanted to experience it.

About two weeks later, God brought a type of structured prayer into my life that I didn’t know I needed. And meeting Jesus using that prayer known as Transformation Prayer Ministry changed everything.

The Check Engine Light

Here is the core idea behind Transformation Prayer Ministry — TPM for short.

Our behaviors, our habits, our hang-ups? They’re not the root problem. They’re symptoms. Underneath every pattern that keeps us stuck is a lie-based belief — something we were persuaded to believe is true through an experience, often in a moment of pain. And we’ve been living from that belief ever since, treating it as if it were fact.

You know the check engine light on your dashboard? When it comes on, you don’t tape over it and keep driving. That light is telling you something is happening under the hood that needs attention.

TPM teaches us to think about our negative emotions the same way. That anxiety that won’t quit. That anger that flares up faster than you can explain. That hollow feeling that creeps in on even a good day. Those aren’t enemies to manage. They’re invitations.

They’re indicators that there’s a lie underneath — one that God wants to get to.

Here’s how I framed it that night: the 12 Steps will bring you to the door of that belief. Steps 4 and 5 — that searching and fearless moral inventory — that’s you finding the door. TPM is what happens when you open it and invite Jesus in.

And this is important: TPM doesn’t do the work. We are not the healers. We are not even trying to be. When the Holy Spirit persuades us of the truth and His perspective — the lie no longer feels true. Mind-renewal has taken place. And where the mind is renewed, transformation follows. Every time. That’s His work, not ours. And that transformation feels a lot like healing.

What This Actually Looks Like

I shared some personal stories that evening — including one you may have already read here on the blog. (If you haven’t, the gondola story is right here — it’s worth three minutes of your time.)

What I hadn’t shared publicly before that night is this: just days before I stood in that CR room, God gave me a second layer of that same story I hadn’t seen before. The belief wasn’t just “I am completely alone.” It went deeper — all the way to “I will always be alone.” That’s not loneliness. That’s hopelessness. And He met me there too.

That is what TPM as a lifestyle looks like. Not a one-time breakthrough — a continuing conversation with the God who keeps going deeper.

You don’t have to wait for a retreat or a crisis or a gondola. Your negative emotions are already the invitation. They’ve been there. The question is whether we’ll keep taping over the check engine light — managing our emotions, numbing them, white-knuckling past them — or whether we’ll follow them to what God wants to show us.

Step 11 says we “sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God.” A TPM prayer session is one of the most intentional ways I know to do exactly that — not just talking at God, but getting quiet enough to actually hear Him speak into the specific belief that’s been keeping you stuck.

Two Ministries. One Mission.

What I saw in that CR room — and what I see every week at Serenity Retreat — is the same longing. The same honest acknowledgment that we cannot fix ourselves. The same posture of surrender toward the One who can.

Here’s what I love about these two ministries together: CR does the courageous work of getting honest — naming the patterns, the wounds, the places where life has come unraveled. And TPM is what happens next. It’s a structured way to bring exactly what that honesty surfaces directly to God in prayer and let Him do what only He can do.

Neither ministry puts itself in the role of doing the transformation. Both are clear: only God can do this. CR’s Twelve Steps are a framework for surrender — for getting ourselves out of the way so God can move. TPM is a lifestyle of doing the same thing, one belief at a time, in the quiet of a prayer session.

Different structures. The same DNA.

A Long Time Coming

Skip had been telling me for years that CR and TPM complement each other. For years, I listened — and for years, I hadn’t acted on it. It was his persistence that finally moved me, and I am so grateful he didn’t give up. That evening at Celebrate Recovery wasn’t a spontaneous invitation. It was the fruit of one man’s long conviction that more people needed to know what was available to them — and his willingness to dedicate hours to both ministries to make that happen. Skip’s heart is simply this: he wants more and more people walking in God’s full truth and perspective. And he is putting in the work to see it happen.

So when I stood up to speak that night, I wanted to close with a story that showed exactly what that kind of freedom looks like from the inside. Skip and his wife Pam had graciously allowed their story to be included in my book, Raising Truth Seekers — and it was their testimony I chose to share in that room.

Not long ago, Skip was a man on the defensive. He carried a deep belief that he had to protect himself — that his wife wasn’t truly for him, wasn’t capable of putting his interests first. His wife carried her own weight too. She believed she had to become something before she could lower her guard. Trust had eroded. Arguments were common. Their ability to navigate life as partners — and as parents — had started to disappear.

His wife found TPM first. As Skip watched what began to happen in her, he decided to pursue it himself. And as the Holy Spirit began revealing truth in the places where false belief had taken hold, something extraordinary happened in their marriage.

Here’s how Skip describes himself now: “I am now more tenderly present, more willing to connect deeply, and more trusting in God to protect me.”

I couldn’t have planned a more fitting ending to the evening: the man who invited me to speak, whose own transformation was the closing story, sitting right there in the room to hear it.

What Skip Has Always Known

Skip has watched both of these ministries long enough to see what they share at the core. Here is how he describes it:

“I have long believed that TPM is a great complementary tool with the Twelve Steps. I am grateful that Barb was able to provide an overview of TPM and indeed, of Serenity Retreat, in order to raise awareness of the tool and the ministry in the Celebrate Recovery community.”

And then he said this — and I think it’s the clearest summary I’ve heard of what both of these ministries are really after:

“Both ministries are committed to digging deeply, exposing lies and inviting the only One Who can bring Truth, the Holy Spirit. I look forward to further exploring opportunities for these ministries to collaborate in God’s effort to liberate and transform His people.”

Liberate and transform His people. That’s the goal. Not of TPM alone. Not of CR alone. That’s the goal of the Kingdom — and God, in His kindness, uses more than one path to get us there.

Could This Be for You?

If you’re part of a Celebrate Recovery community — or any recovery ministry — and something in this post has stirred something in you, I want you to know there’s a next step available.

A TPM prayer session isn’t counseling. It isn’t a program. It’s simply a structured space to bring what you’ve been carrying to the Lord and let Him speak into it. Our prayer ministers at Serenity Retreat would love to walk alongside you.

And if you’re new here and wondering whether any of this is for you — you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to let God into one room.

We go where we’re invited. If you’d like Serenity Retreat to come and share about TPM with your organization or ministry community — just like we did with Celebrate Recovery — we’d love that conversation.

More Than a Seminar: The Story of Our First TPM 101 Immersive

Written by Angela Miller on April 2, 2026. Posted in Prayer Ministers, Serenity Blog, TPM 101, Transformation Prayer Training. No Comments on More Than a Seminar: The Story of Our First TPM 101 Immersive

by Barbara Rolen, Program Director

Something shifted the moment those eleven people walked through the doors of the Bellville Retreat Center.

Five women came as participants. Two leaders, four prayer ministers, and two hospitality hosts came to serve. But by the time the weekend was over — after the conversations that spilled into every break, after the bell rang to celebrate what God had done — it was clear that everyone had received something.

That was March 20–21, and it was the inaugural TPM 101 Immersive.

How We Got Here

TPM 101 — which many of you may remember as the Basic Seminar — has always been a two-hour overview designed to introduce you to Serenity Retreat and give you a glimpse into the principles, purpose, and process of Transformation Prayer Ministry. It’s a great starting point. But after the overwhelming response to our TPM 201 Immersive in January, the Lord nudged us to ask a simple question: What if we gave it more room to breathe?

The answer was a 24-hour stay at the retreat center — three meals, lodging, and the kind of unhurried space that doesn’t happen in a Zoom room.

And now? We’re taking that same spirit of more in a whole new direction. This summer, for the first time ever, we’re bringing the immersive experience online — so that geography is no longer a barrier to going deeper with God through TPM. More on that in a moment.

What Made It Different

Our leadership team took the traditional model and broke it into digestible pieces, weaving in more personal stories and creating space for real, interactive conversations. What I didn’t anticipate? The between moments.

Every single break, I’d look around and find small clusters of coaches and participants in deep conversation. Nobody was scrolling their phones. Nobody was rushing to the next thing. They were present — really present — in a way that’s hard to manufacture and impossible to schedule.

Brooke Wallace, who has led TPM 101 for over six years, described it beautifully:

“In the 24 hours that we gathered, a supportive community was formed. We shared our lives and how to cooperate with God to know Him more intimately. Participants received a firsthand experience in TPM by being a part of a personal prayer session. This is something that wouldn’t happen in the two-hour course. It was very valuable.”

One of our participants, Jessica W., put words to what so many of us feel when life is full and margin is hard to find:

“For me personally the immersive was more helpful for my full schedule as a stay-at-home mom. I was able to have uninterrupted time to myself and be fully present in learning and conversations. The immersive felt very relaxed and safe to ask questions and the scenery was so very peaceful… no distractions, quiet, and all the information was fully digestible with the breaks and reflection time.”

Safe. Peaceful. Fully digestible. Those aren’t words people usually use to describe a learning environment — and they’re exactly what we hoped for.

What It Means for You

Of the five women who participated, two had never experienced a TPM session before. The others ranged from just a few sessions to several in recent months. Different starting points, same hunger — to know God more deeply and to understand how TPM can be a transformational tool in their everyday lives.

And here’s the conclusion Brooke and I came to at the close of the weekend: it works. Learning in a relaxed, unhurried environment with the goal of actually practicing what you’re discovering in subsequent TPM sessions takes this from information to transformation.

The freedom bell rang as participants drove through the gate. And we all knew we’d do this again.

What’s Coming Next

We are now forming the wait list for the summer and fall TPM 101 Immersives, and we have even more exciting news to share — because this year, there is truly something for everyone.

Think of the TPM training pathway like this:

TPM 101 is where you discover what Transformation Prayer Ministry is — the principles, the purpose, and the process, along with the possibility of what it could mean for you to embark on this journey.

TPM 201 is where you go deeper, learning to cooperate with what God is doing in your own heart with greater understanding.

TPM 301 is where it all comes together — stepping into the role of a mentor and learning to use TPM with others.

Each level builds on the one before, and this summer, we’re offering immersive experiences at every level:

TPM 301 Immersive — May 14–16 (in-person, Bellville)

TPM 201 Virtual Immersive — June 11–13 (brand new — online!)

TPM 301 Immersive — July 30 – August 2 (in-person, Bellville)

And a special word to prayer ministers who have stepped away from the ministry and feel a stirring to re-engage — the 301 Immersive was made for this moment. Come back. Your community is here.

Whether you’re brand new to TPM and ready to start with 101, or you’re a returning prayer minister ready to re-engage, there is a place for you this year.

👉 Sign up for the TPM 101 wait list or register for TPM 201 or TPM 301 at serenityretreat.com and watch future newsletters for announcements about upcoming trainings. These spots will fill quickly!

We can’t wait to welcome you — wherever you are on the journey.

Coffee, Conversation, and Transformation

Written by Angela Miller on March 31, 2026. Posted in Community Support, Serenity Blog, Transformation Prayer. No Comments on Coffee, Conversation, and Transformation

By Paige Loveless

Two years ago, I purchased a copy of Transformation Prayer Ministry Principles-Purpose-Process and embarked on the six-week TPM introductory course.  It was a wonderful experience that reinforced for me what “a present help in time of trouble” is our God.

I began sharing what I was learning with my friends and particularly with a group of women I meet with every week. It was obvious the information regarding this way of cooperating with God in the transformation process was making an impact.

In recent years I have periodically hosted what I call a kaffeeklatsch in my home. (Official definition: a place where coffee is served and important things are said.) And indeed, important things have been said by each and every one by the invited speakers. It’s a rich blessing for the attendees and for me too, in expressing hospitality in this way.

Once I realized the great value of TPM to the body of Christ, I planned to invite Barbara Rolen, Serenity Retreat Program Director to be a kaffeeklatsch speaker. We finally were able to do that this year on February 28. It was a beautiful morning of hearing Barb present the basics of TPM and sharing powerful examples from her own life. 

Everyone in attendance expressed their appreciation for the blessings and encouragement they received. I think the great value in this was that it was confirmation that God really is big enough and willing enough to reach us in the deepest part of our being, leading us to and persuading us of the Truth. And believing the Truth changes everything!  

Two of the women will soon begin gathering regularly to go through the TPM manual together. Several expressed a desire to go to Serenity Retreat. I have had impactful conversations with several of the attendees to reinforce or clarify some aspect of TPM to the level of my current understanding. I’ve been renewed in intentionally referencing the TPM principles, purpose and process routinely with the group I am facilitating weekly and in private conversations. 

Paige extends her heartfelt thanks to Barb, for making time in her busy schedule to prepare her presentation and make the trek to Boerne and for the fruitful morning it produced.

Could Your Living Room Be Next?

Paige didn’t need a ministry degree or a large venue. She needed a coffee pot, a heart for her friends, and a willingness to say, “I found a new way to communicate with God that has changed my life — and I’d love for you to come hear about it.”

If you’ve experienced the impact of TPM and have been wondering how to share it with people you love, hosting a kaffeeklatsch — or brunch, or backyard gathering — might be exactly the open door you’ve been looking for.

We’d love to help you make it happen. Reach out to us at Serenity Retreat to explore how we can support you in bringing this conversation to your community.

When God Had Other Plans for My Mountain Getaway

Written by Angela Miller on August 9, 2025. Posted in Prayer Session, Serenity Blog, TPM 101, Transformation Prayer, Transformation Prayer Training. No Comments on When God Had Other Plans for My Mountain Getaway

By Barbara Rolen

Have you ever planned a peaceful getaway only to discover God had something deeper in mind—your transformation.

This summer, I ventured to the Colorado mountains for my first solo vacation since my husband’s death five years ago. As someone who practices Transformation Prayer Ministry (TPM) as a lifestyle, I went expectant. When difficult emotions surface, I’ve learned they’re invitations to encounter God’s truth about whatever I’m believing.

At Steamboat Springs, I was thrilled to ride the gondola up Mt. Werner until those doors closed.

Within seconds, my excitement turned to tears. Alone, suspended by a cable high above the earth, my emotions were exposing a lie I was believing.

Deuteronomy 31:6 promises God will never leave or forsake us, yet here I sat feeling utterly abandoned. Rather than suppress these feelings or push through them, I leaned in. Using TPM right there in that swaying gondola, I uncovered the belief driving my distress: I am totally and completely alone.

God’s gentle correction came swiftly. Yes, I was the only human in that gondola, but I was never truly alone. As His truth penetrated my heart, tears of fear became tears of joy.

This is TPM as a lifestyle; cooperating with God whether on mountaintops or in mundane moments.

What would it mean for you to have this kind of intimate, experiential walk with God available in any situation?

That journey starts with experiencing TPM for yourself. Book a prayer session today. Our upcoming free TPM 101 introductory class is also a perfect entry point—and the prerequisite for TPM 201, where you’ll learn to begin using this life-changing prayer process on your own.

Whatever you’re walking through right now, this structured prayer process is available to you. Your transformation might be just a prayer away.

When Life Throws You a Curveball (Like Getting Moved to a New School the Day Before Classes Start!)

Written by Angela Miller on August 7, 2025. Posted in Serenity Blog, Transformation Prayer, Transformation Prayer Training. No Comments on When Life Throws You a Curveball (Like Getting Moved to a New School the Day Before Classes Start!)

By: Barbara Rolen, Program Director, Serenity Retreat

What does the beginning of a new school year mean for you? Maybe you’re in the thick of buying school supplies and new shoes, or perhaps you’re watching your own kids navigate those exciting and sometimes overwhelming first days.

As a former elementary school teacher for 18 years, I lived for those countdown moments. The planning, the meetings, the perfectly arranged bulletin boards, all building toward that magical first day when everything would finally come together. (You know that feeling, right? The excitement so intense you can barely sleep?)

But I’ll never forget the year I spent an entire week creating my dream classroom setup, only to get a phone call just hours before the first day: “We’re moving you to a different school.”

My poor husband was on the receiving end of that frantic, tearful call. I was devastated. All that work, all those plans—gone in an instant.

Here’s what I wish I had known then: those overwhelming emotions didn’t have to derail me. What if, instead of spiraling into panic and frustration, I could have used those very feelings as a pathway to encounter Jesus right in the middle of my crisis?

That’s exactly what Transformation Prayer Ministry (TPM) offers, a way to cooperate with God each time life throws you a curveball.

Think about it: How would life be different for you and your family if you had a reliable way to meet with Jesus in your moments of greatest need? What if, instead of just gritting your teeth and pushing through trials, you could actually be transformed by them?

(I bet you’re thinking of a recent situation right now where this would have made all the difference.)

Your Turn to Experience Transformation

Here’s your invitation to discover what it’s like to walk through a simple prayer process and potentially walk away transformed—all because you gained God’s perspective where you once held faulty or limiting beliefs.

With the new school year beginning, we’re forming new classes at Serenity Retreat. If you’re ready to learn how to come through trials transformed instead of just weathering the storm, now is your perfect time to start.

Ready to dip your toes in the water? Join us for TPM 101, a free 2-hour introductory class that gives you a welcoming overview of Serenity Retreat and Transformation Prayer Ministry, along with a gentle walk-through of what a prayer session actually looks like.”

When: Tuesday, September 23 @ 6:30 pm
Cost: Absolutely free
What to expect: A safe space to discover how connecting with God in this new way could change everything

After TPM 101, you’ll be ready to dive deeper into our 6-week interactive class, where you’ll learn the principles, purpose, and process of TPM and begin your own journey of meeting Jesus in completely new ways.

Because here’s the truth: God doesn’t want you to just survive your trials. He wants to use them to transform you.

Ready to say yes to transformation? Register today.
