Stories from the wandering and eventful
journey. . .
"This is the most important course I've ever
taken, not just to become a leader, but to get through life knowing the
truth about myself and God. Major obstacles have been removed from my
spiritual path in a matter of weeks."
Social worker, 32
"This course is so deeply important-- essential for the
church to hear. People are dying to know how deep this really goes."
Grad student, 25
"Theodyssey fundamentally changed the way I live. As a result
of my time with Dave and Theodyssey the way that I "think" has been impacted.
The way I engage with people is dramatically different today. It has contributed
in magnanimous ways to the quality of my life. I have been married for
17 years and am a proud father of four. I am a very successful Director
of Sales in a top ten software company. The fruit of my personal life
as well as my professional life are a direct result of my relationship
with Christ. The way I engage that relationship today is a direct result
of my experiences with Theodyssey. I would highly recommend this to anyone
who is in pursuit of an authentic relationship with GOD.
Director of Sales, Fortune 500 company
"The course Dave has built is quite powerful on a lot of
levels. The foundation is always scripture - you will learn a lot about
God, but you will also learn lot about yourself. And its all positive
and transformative. Many of the deeper issues in the Christian life are
addressed and processed. I found the Theodyssey experience quite healing,
if not downright liberating."
Graphic Designer/Photographer
"Honestly, the course gave me hope, and a solid building block for my faith. There is a lot more freedom in my journey with Christ that I would have ever thought possible before." Architect, 28
"This was immensely helpful to allow me to wade through a lot of the 'noise', the 'duty', and 'obligation', and enable me to more clearly hear the voice and invitation of Christ." Campus Minister, 32
"The process of going through Theodyssey exposed the many things I tend to turn to when life feels challenging, instead of fully turning to Christ. For me those things are busyness and accomplishments. I never knew I used those things to make myself feel better instead of turning to Christ and allowing Him to mold me. Unfortunately, I still turn to those things, but at least now I recognize them more and hopefully turn to them less!" Former Project Manager/ now a Homemaker
"Every week was meaningful. I felt like it was a place that
God met my heart's cry. It challenged my thinking without being too 'heady'-very
interesting examples, humorous at times. Just basically very real!"
Graphic Artist, 28
"Very real, and very powerful way to help people get 'unstuck',
and discover the difference between being a 'Christian' and a 'Christ-follower.'"
Pastor, 31
"The process of partnering in this journey with others and
God, opened-up doors in my life that I thought would never be able to
open. Doors that I had locked and then thrown the key away."
Administrative assistant, 25
"I would liken it to a Class 5 rafting trip, with the Holy
Spirit guiding and everyone hanging on to each other for their lives.
Unpredictable, exciting, frightening, and often overwhelming. Just what
life with Christ was like for the disciples! It was an adventure of faith,
a journey to the deep places of my soul where God stood watch over me."
Business owner
"You will discover Christ's unconditional and unlegalistic
love, and the ability the Holy Spirit has to offer supernatural healing
for your heart, soul, and mind."
Teacher, 25
"Dave lovingly encourages you to let go of all that is false
and all that names you, and instead, let Christ free you. He truly loves,
cares, and takes time to know you through the process. I am learning to
hear God."
Director of Children and Families, age 32
"I appreciated the integration of theology, spirituality,
psychology, and real-life experience. I also appreciated the openness
to learning from other (non-evangelical) traditions, and the sensitivity
to 'church baggage'. And I appreciated inviting God to work in our lives-
not just talking about spiritual formation, but actually engaging in it."
Artist, 28
When first invited to participate in this experience, I
had doubts and denial. Did I really need this? Could I afford the time?
Did I want others to get to know me that well? It seemed like a bigger
commitment and greater risk than I wanted to give, yet something drove
me to take the step to at least give it a try for a while. I was not disappointed
and have no doubt that it was a significant and important step in my life.
No, I did not become a totally different person, change jobs, become a
missionary in a foreign land, or move into a state of total bliss. But,
there are extensive and meaningful differences, and changes continue.
I spend more time in the Word. My prayers have more meaning and focus
on thankfulness, guidance, and spiritual growth and wisdom, not a wish
list of long life, safety, health and wealth. My patience still needs
a lot of work, but I am more accepting of all those incompetent drivers
I encounter every day. I am a kinder, gentler, more joyful person, yet
without a diminished drive to excel and give my best to any activity that
is worth doing. I am much more at peace and reassured with my circumstances.
I am more open to learning, i.e., I have a much more teachable spirit.
And, perhaps most importantly, I am more willing to reveal my love without
feeling that it somehow diminishes by manhood.
