20 The Flow of Grace
“This fall, I made the hard but honest decision to postpone the Foundations classes. While there was genuine interest in the program, there were not enough participants to create the engaging discussions, meaningful small-group interaction, and friendships that are an important part of the Foundations experience.
“Rather than move forward with a smaller group than I believe would best serve participants, I chose to wait.
This is not a closed door. When Foundations is offered again, I'd love to let you know.
“Simply leave your email below, and I'll keep your name on my interest list. No pressure, no obligation, just a way to stay connected. Your email will remain private and will never be shared with others.”
Before You Register:
Independent Study for Classes Offered Below
For women unable to attend the scheduled live classes, an independent study option is available within that same 4-week session. Participants receive video access to each class and can watch on their own time, while still following the same weekly pace as the live group — one class per week for the 4 weeks. The independent study option also includes two private, 45-minute spiritual mentoring sessions with Julie, scheduled sometime during that same 4-week period, to provide personalized support throughout the program.
Choose your session below, sign up, and let Julie know you'd like to study independently. She'll take care of the rest — sending you the weekly video link and a scheduling link so you can choose your two one-on-one mentoring sessions within the session dates.
What Happens After I Register for a Class?
Once you've signed up for your class, Julie will reach out to provide you with a SignUpGenius link. Through this link, you can select two private 45-minute mentoring sessions with her. Sessions are typically available on Monday during the day, and Tuesday and Wednesday at various times during the day and evening. If these options don't align with your work schedule, Julie will make every effort to accommodate you. However, please note that one-on-one sessions are never offered on Sundays.
During our one-on-one mentorship sessions, we will pray together and delve into your spiritual journey, focusing on what matters most to you. These sessions are designed to help you grow closer to God. Our time together will be tailored to your unique path, offering guidance in deepening your prayer life & relationship with Jesus, discerning God's will, and building a meaningful relationship with the saints.
