7-Week Master Class on Transformation

Barb Raveling
About this episode

The live 7-Week Master Class on Transformation Begins January 28, 2025!!!

Do you ever say, “I can’t believe I’ve been a Christian for x number of years and I’m still struggling with this?” Are you reluctant to work on transformation because you’re afraid you’ll fail like you did last time? Do you have some area of your life where you feel stuck?

My guess is that we can all answer “yes” to at least one of those questions. It’s discouraging to fail over and over again.

Romans 12:2 tells us that the answer to our struggles is to renew our minds. But there are two problems with this approach: 1) We don’t necessarily know what that means or 2) we do know how to renew our minds but we can’t make ourselves do it consistently enough to see transformation.

My 7-Week Master Class on Transformation will help you with both of those problems. We’ll get together, each choose an area of our lives to work on, and work together on transformation.

What area of transformation would you like help with?

Here are a few areas you may want to work on during this transformation class:

  • Break a habit such as overeating, overspending, or too much time on your phone even though you have zero discipline in that area.
  • Achieve a goal such as writing a book, developing a habit of consistently completing your to-do list each day, or starting a business even if you’re a born procrastinator and can’t make yourself work on your project or list.
  • Break free from a negative emotion like anger, worry, discontentment, and insecurity even if that emotion has been with you as long as you can remember. Often we think we can’t let go of the negative emotions. Our only hope is to escape them with some self-destructive behavior, stuff them, or control our behavior so the emotion doesn’t hurt ourselves and others. But the truth is, God can help us let go of those negative emotions situation by situation and live in peace and joy (Galatians 5). We’ll learn how to do that in this class.

What are some side benefits (but often the biggest benefits of all) of working on transformation?

No matter what practical area you choose to work on, God will use the transformation process to help you achieve the following goals:

  • Grow closer to God and more excited about your times with Him as you develop the practical habit of carrying each thought captive to the truth through the renewing of the min.
  • Live in peace and joy as you learn how to corral, process, and let go of the thoughts that are swirling in your head, threatening to drive you crazy.
  • Improve relationships and learn how to love others better as you grow in the fruit of the Spirit.

What is the set up of the class?

Here are a few features of the class:

  • It will be live. We’ll meet on Zoom but the sessions will also be recorded if you can’t make it.
  • I’ll give 15-30 minutes of instruction but we’ll be pausing during the class to apply what I teach to the area of your life that you want to work on.
  • We’ll meet once a week for seven sessions but I’ll have six weeks of homework for you to do during the week to apply what you learned to the area of your life you’re working on.
  • At the end of each class, I’ll have breakout rooms where you can share how you did with your renewing each week and what God taught you during the week.
  • You’ll also have a chance to find accountability partners.

When will the class start?

The class will begin on January 28, 2025. We will meet weekly for 7 sessions on Tuesdays at 12:00 EST. Each class will be be 1 to 1 1/2 hours long.

What if I can’t make the live sessions?

If you can’t make the live sessions, I’ll have a replay available by the next day, possibly sooner. The replays will be available until at least 6/1/25, possibly longer, so that you have time to do the class.

What is the cost of the class?

Although classes like this are often quite expensive, I want everyone to be able to take it, so I’m offering the class at $27 USD.

Is there a deadline for signing up for the class?

Yes, the deadline is January 28, 2025. This is not an on-demand class so even if you plan to take it later, you’ll need to sign up now so I can email you links to the class videos and homework each week.
