Questions for Jesus e-Course with LIVE Activations
Instructor | Great Relationships
When you asked a question you'd get an immediate answer?
Jesus would tell you what he loves about you and why he's proud of you?
It was so easy you could get started in two minutes a day?
A few years back I made one simple change in the way I pray—and my percentage of answered prayer went up about 1000%. After 35 years as a Christian, 25 as a ministry leader and 15 of coaching pastors about how to meet God in difficult circumstances (irony alert!), I was still asking Him all the wrong questions.
>When I finally figured out how to change the subject to what He wanted to talk about, it was like our communication went from snail mail to instant messaging—and got way more intimate and revelatory in the process.
The Questions for Jesus approach is about making that change of subject. It moves us from praying about the business of the Christian life (what I am supposed to do for Jesus) to talking with Jesus about Us—about our relationship. Questions for Jesus are intimate prayers that touch on our deepest desires--like this:
If you'd like to learn to pray like that--and hear Jesus reply profoundly in 30-60 seconds--this interactive course is for you!
This cohort based version of Questions for Jesus includes bonus LIVE activation sessions, where you'll get a chance to ask questions, participate in demos and practice your skills with peers. The live sessions take a great course and make it incredible!

I’ve been there, both professional and personally, watching God mend and make new broken relationships. He is a miracle worker when we allow Him to make new what was once broken. I’ve seen it, and I’ve experienced it!
In 2006 I began coaching marriages, alongside my husband, Jeff and together we co-authored the book, Marriage Coaching: Heart, Hope and Skills for a Great Relationship and 3 levels of Marriage Coaching Training curriculum. We even founded a non-profit relationship ministry, Great Relationships. But, after 10 years of training hundreds of leadership couples around the world our own relationship broke down.
It was during that season of brokenness, that I experienced transformation in my relationship with Jesus through the Questions for Jesus book by Tony Stoltzfus. I met Jesus in the pain and our relationship flourished because of the new types of questions that I began asking Jesus. That new way of relating with Jesus in those precious days healed my heart and has protected it for life.
Even deeper impact came when I attended my first Leadership Meta-Formation workshop in 2018. Right then, and there, I decided that I wanted to join Jeff (already a LM Certified Trainer) to use my skills to help lead, host and offer LM courses and workshops. There is nothing more satisfying to me than seeing people come alive when Jesus steps in. I wanted to be right there to watch it happen!
God had me encircled. So, it was a close reach when Jeff died unexpectedly in 2019. I had a protective fortress built to withstand the threat. There was nothing that I wanted more than remaining emotionally open as I accepted this new loss.
Which is why I am passionate about helping women live well amidst unresolved difficulty, grief or loss. Life can hit us hard, but the journey is still worth it!
