What would it feel like to be truly rooted and grounded — not just in your faith, but within your own body? 🌳

This spring, we invite you into a gentle, restorative space to explore what it means to live from a place of steadiness and deep support. Inspired by Ephesians 3:17, this experience goes beyond head knowledge and into embodied practice—helping you connect with God’s presence in a way that is felt, not just understood.

Through breath, gentle movement, mindfulness, and prayerful engagement with Scripture, you’ll begin to cultivate a sense of peace, presence, and grounding from the inside out.

✨ Come as you are—no experience needed
✨ Learn simple, practical practices you can carry into daily life
✨ Be supported in a safe, faith-centered community

Let this be a season of rooting deeper, slowing down, and experiencing the nearness of God in both body and spirit in this 6 week group.

We're in the final few days of the year — and we are almost at our year-end goal.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of this community, we have raised so much toward our $26,000 goal, and we now have just $6,686 left to go.

Every dollar given today directly supports men and women seeking healing from anxiety, trauma, grief, and spiritual exhaustion. Your partnership ensures that no one is turned away because they can’t afford care.

If you’ve been considering giving, today is the day.

Would you help us close the gap and finish the year strong?
Your generosity brings healing, hope, and will change hundreds of lives.

Every day, people walk into our office carrying fear, despair, and deep pain. Many arrive unsure if healing is even possible… and some cannot afford care at all.

But we believe no one should be excluded from the hope and healing Christ offers.

Your gift of $150 funds multiple sessions of prayer and counsel and directly impacts our ability to provide care. Your generosity changes lives.

Would you partner with us to raise $26,000 by the end of year to change hundreds of lives in 2026? We have just $16,000 left to reach our goal. www.freeetobeministries.org/donate

Today we're highlighting Neetta Houska on the Free to Be Team! Neetta meets with clients at our Fairlawn Office in person and virtually.

About Neetta:
Neetta is a devoted wife and mom of two college-aged sons. She is passionate about seeing women set free from all that hinders them, and to see them walk in freedom in all they were created to be.

From Neetta: "Charles Stanley once said that the most important thing we can do in life is lead others closer to Jesus.
