Spiritual Health: A Foundation will give you the tools to become the kind of Christian you’ve always hoped to be.

Soulation’s Founders, Dale and Jonalyn Fincher, will pastor you through Spiritual Health: A Foundation. For over 20 years, they have empowered Christians into a wholehearted faith. They both have experienced religious addiction and spiritual manipulation firsthand (watch Dale’s story). As a husband-and-wife team, they draw from the deep well of Christian thought to create room for emotional and theological healing. Between them, they’ve authored many books (Living with Questions, Ruby Slippers, Coffee Shop Conversations and more at our Store) and have addressed audiences in the US, South America, Asia, and Europe.

During our 3-month study, Dale and Jonalyn respond and interact in the discussions daily. Additionally, hand-selected mentors from the Freedom Builders Community also join the study for encouragement, counsel, and discussion. Each mentor has experienced faith questions, spiritual manipulation and healing in his or her own life. They are shining examples of not just recovering faith, but becoming loving and wise disciples of Jesus, ready to help others.

Each video and discussion takes on average 30 minutes a week. However, you choose when or how often you want to watch and comment. Go at your own pace, as your schedule and life circumstances allow. As a group, we will typically watch and discuss two specific videos every week. Watching each video is a core requirement. But you choose when you watch. In addition, each participant must complete a one hour eMentoring appointment with Dale or Jonalyn during the time frame of the study.

• One hour of free spiritual mentoring through eMentoring: a one-on-one confidential and private chat room with Dale or Jonalyn Fincher, scheduled at your convenience, and includes a typed copy of the transcript.
• Welcome Packet. Get started with Dale’s welcome video explaining how this study in spiritual health will work and what to expect.
• A truly-private online community group to know like-minded souls.
• Personal attention from Dale, Jonalyn, and our team of mentors in a small group (no more than 15 in a class).
• Exclusive videos carefully building a foundation for spiritual health each week. You will not see God’s love, identity in Christ, empathy, forgiveness, and Scripture the same again!
• Jonalyn’s discussion prompts based on readings and videos.
• Low-pressure environment. Easy to complete as you go at your own pace, with a safe, accessible atmosphere and open-minded ethos of “mere Christianity.”
• Certificate upon graduation and qualification to enter the Freedom Builders Community with other graduates.

In our private online classroom in the Soulation Community, you’ll get mentoring with daily access to Dale Fincher, Jonalyn Fincher, and other seasoned guides. They will also help you navigate your story of spiritual challenges and renewal. Here, you and your classmates will have daily community conversations to explore what you care about from difficult news, troubling life situations, recovery hurdles, confusing or triggering articles, family complications, and church experiences. You will see that you are not alone in your story and together we’ll help you begin to create a new one. You will also have access to one hour of free spiritual mentoring in a one-on-one confidential and private chat room with Dale or Jonalyn Fincher.

Spiritual Health: A Foundation costs $99. We offer partial scholarships (more information here).

Most of our wounding happens in community, as well as most of our healing. The community itself forms the backdrop to listening, wrestling, ranting, and confessing that is necessary to healing.

Yes. Some people just have time for videos or would rather stay in the background of discussion. Active listening to other people’s perspectives will open up your own soul to growth. No one will shame or guilt you to speak up if you’re not ready to speak yet. There’s no forced “accountability” in this group. You get to discover health on your own timeline and in the way that fits your needs. However, to graduate and enter the Freedom Builders Community, it is required that you watch all of the videos and participate in one eMentoring session with Dale or Jonalyn.

We believe most Christians today, around the world, have been touched by unhealthy faith communities and spiritual manipulation. This class is for anyone who wants their spiritual health to move beyond the superficial markers and into a more grounded faith. Anyone who knows the pain of being controlled, manipulated, or silenced in a faith community will find healing here.

Even if you haven’t been spiritually abused–or do not personally identify with that term–all Christians can learn how to grow their own spiritual health so they can be lights in the Church and world. We have a wide variety of graduates, from pastors to professionals to parents. Hear what they said about Freedom Builders here.

This study is our prerequisite, laying a foundation for healing and preparing you with the vocabulary and tools to join one of the Rooms within our private online community, Freedom Builders. After completing Spiritual Health: A Foundation, you have the option to continue in the Freedom Builders Community for $20 monthly. As a Freedom Builder, you receive access to some core studies, our Media Library, Sabbath Sermon archives, and retreat opportunities.
