Freedom Academy is a 3-day immersive training to help you unlock your God-given purpose, transform your conversations, and walk in freedom through story work and biblical truth.
April 3-5, 2025 in Lake Zurich, IL
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!To walk in freedom you have to understand the healing power of your story, but there’s a problem…
-
You’re constantly chasing external fulfillment but not being satisfied internally.
-
You’re tired of the negative self-talk in your mind.
-
You minimize your story and think it’s irrelevant to your purpose.
-
You’re surviving not thriving, but you want to feel fully alive.
-
You feel distant from God and believe you have to change your behaviors to be loved by Him.
Karrie Garcia
Growing up, the hurt and pain in my family’s story was hidden behind Bible memory verses, church services, and performance. I watched my mom serve the church as my dad pastored on Sunday only to come home and hide her pain with an eating disorder through the week. After a lifetime of concealing and dismissing the hurt in her story, my mom took her own life.
The anger and fear I felt as a witness to this left me feeling hopeless. Just like my mom, this led me down a pathway of various addictions to fill the void in my heart. In the aftermath of drug addiction, a failed marriage, and broken ministry, I considered ending my own life, too.
God met me in my brokenness with one question, “What would it look like to be honest?”
This question was the catalyst to a lifelong pursuit of true freedom in my story and has defined my work as a pastor, coach, author, and speaker for the last 28 years.
To see true change in the world around us, we need more than behavior modification. We need heart transformation!
For most of my 28 years of marriage, I communicated with my wife on a very surface level. A few months after implementing these communication skills, I heard her tell a friend they saved our marriage. This shocked me because I didn’t even know it needed saving. I think like many guys, I just didn’t know how to connect on a heart level.
As a coach, I love helping people discover wholeness, and freedom. This way we can show up in life as our best selves, offering all we are to a world that desperately needs people who can be present with others.
