How Your Church Can Develop a Thriving Community...
A ministry that brings better mental health & healing to churches AND communities!
The Overcomer’s Course
Often, internal struggles, relationship issues, and unmet needs can hinder a church’s outreach efforts. But when healing begins within the church, it naturally overflows into the community! The Overcomer's Course was designed with this in mind.
Is your church facing unresolved conflicts and emotional wounds that impact both your congregation and the broader community? The Overcomer's Course offers a 13-week small group program to help churches build healthier, stronger relationships—within the church, in our families, and in the community.
Through live coaching, this trauma and abuse-informed course addresses key topics like setting healthy boundaries, healing from emotional wounds, and navigating forgiveness. It provides a safe space for individuals struggling with anger, shame, or unforgiveness, guiding them to break free from unhealthy patterns and build lasting peace.
Help your church become a healing community—one that fosters growth, supports recovery, and strengthens relationships. When the church is healthy, it becomes more effective at reaching souls in its community!
Enroll your church today and bring healing and transformation to both your congregation and your community!
Topics covered are universal for both church members and community members alike! Some of the topics covered include:
• Overcoming Distorted Thoughts
• Overcoming Anger
• Overcoming Shame
• Moving Past the Past
• Forgiving When It’s Hard to Do
• Learning to Set Healthy Boundaries

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each week participants gather together in a warm and supportive space as we work towards learning more about how to handle life's challenges, both emotionally and relationally.
As a Christian support group, all meetings begin with a word of prayer and then a brief "check-in" to share, acknowledge, and celebrate one another's victories from the previous week.
Each lesson provides three “heart work” action steps to work on during the week until our next group meeting. This allows participants to put into practice what their learning in the course!
Each 90-minute session begins with 30 minutes of processing time, where we review how everyone is doing with their action steps from the previous week. Then, we watch a 20-30 minute video lesson, in which Darah shares valuable tools to help you move from overwhelm to overcoming. After the video, we dedicate the remaining 30 minutes to discussing the content from that week’s video together, offering encouragement, and uplifting one another as we work towards our heart goals for the week.

Designed as a unique, personalized experience, the Overcomer’s Course stands apart from many traditional church programs by offering live, individualized care and coaching for each participant.
The course is currently being offered at an introductory price of $499 for the first group of 8 participants, with additional groups available at a reduced rate of $250. The lower additional group rate allows churches the flexibility to create separate male and female programs, and add additional participants if desired, while ensuring each individual receives the attention and support they need to truly overcome and grow.
By keeping each group small, the program fosters an intimate, safe space for personal growth and healing."

Registration is done on a revolving basis, as we find this fits best with each church’s unique schedule. The Overcomer's Course is designed for churches to offer personalized support for their members.
Each program purchase includes a small group of up to 8 participants, ensuring individualized care and coaching. Churches can purchase additional sessions for more participants, and may choose to create separate groups for men and women if preferred.
To get started, churches should contact the course coordinator directly at thrivechurchprograms@gmail.com to discuss your church’s preferred day and time for the program. Once your schedule is set, a customized course package will be created.
Churches will need to provide the names and contact information (email and phone number) of all participants at least 14 days before the course begins to ensure proper setup.
This structure ensures each group receives focused attention, allowing for meaningful, personalized support throughout the course.
-
At the first session participants are given the directions on how to access all course materials.

Unfortunately, there is no way to refund or reimburse you for any missed classes and each class has valuable insights your participants won't want to miss. However, if they do need to miss a class or leave early, or simply want to refresh their memory on a particular lesson, all zoom meetings are recorded. They can watch the class they missed and refer to it as they need to throughout the course! (*Due to privacy regulations, recorded sessions may not be shared with anyone not officially registered for the course as a participant. Recorded zoom calls are removed at the close of the 13 weeks for participant privacy purposes).
-
Churches can decide to run the program for men and women together, or may choose to run it separately, hosting one group for women and a separate one for men. This is the ideal format as it allows complete transparency within the group. *Note: the course does touch on some sensitive subject material that may be better processed in a segregated format.

Yes. The Overcomer’s Course is a biblically grounded, Christ-centered program that focuses on how to heal emotional and relational wounds from a biblically grounded perspective. It incorporates psycho-educational materials and information, prayer and Bible reading to help facilitate mental well being as well as emotional and relational healing.
-
This course is not a replacement for licensed counseling. This program is considered a psycho-educational coaching program. And as such, we do require every participant to fill out an intake form to screen for actively suicidal cases, court mandated counseling cases, and for patients who are actively seeking a diagnosis for any major mental illness. This course is not designed to address these concerns. If after reviewing the intake forms, we deem a participant actively needs more care than the course can provide, we may refer the participant to a licensed professional counselor in their area.
