We invite you into a process of discovery: a life nearer to what God intended all along. 

  If the Father is the ultimate Life-giver, then He has left us on the planet to follow in His footsteps.  At SLi, all of our resources are designed to give you life marked by intimacy with the King and passion for His kingdom.  It's contentment with etermal focus.  It is peace with invisible purpose.  It is the freedom that comes from finding so much satisfaction in the Savior that we are released to live for others.

Sure, into a every life a little rain must fall...ok, maybe a lot.  But imagine finding yourself, eyes squinting in glee, smiling ear to ear, and coming dangerously close to living with childlike faith right in the middle of the storm...

If your bible studies have gained you knowledge but not so much grace; if you sense that your heart is not what you thought it would be at this stage of the "faith game," then come learn a breath by breath experience of God with others who've found restful refreshment here.  People in their 80s have been changed forever.  People in their 20s have too.  And if you are somewhere in the middle, especially if you are in any way "stalled" in the middle, then dtl is for you.  What we've discovered is that these basic life practices meet every person anywhere on their faith journey and take them down today's path.  Bored believers, skeptical seekers and everyone in between, who have taken a deep drink of these strong choices have found intimacy never imagined, and passion for the things that last forever that was formerly buried under piles of personal history and religious brokneness.  Do it in a group if you can.  Give us every day for six weeks...that's all we ask.

A different kind of freedom...

A better freedom.  An internal freedom.  It's not about being free from the external controls others exert over our lives, it's about being free within ourselves.  Isn't that the only kind of freedom that really matters?  Would you rather be an enslaved person with a free heart, or a free person with an enslaved heart?

In our pursuit of authentic freedom, we've taken ourselves, people, and life in general too seriously.  At the same time we've not taken the sovereignty of God or the gospel seriously enough.  That is, the implications of the gospel are more profound than we've appreciated.  So we've not taken God, grace, or eternity seriously enough.

The gospel of grace has made an invitation, not only the forgiveness of sins, but to a life of simple freedom.  Certainly, redemptive grace is unfathomable for its mysterious and thorough impact.  But as we were saved by grace, so we are invited to live by grace.  Grace's invitation, then, is that we actually learn freedom.

Freedom to simply live, love, and laugh.

Freeing women's hearts for intimacy with Jesus...

The Book:

Judy has identified seven basic needs in the heart of every woman.  We are searching until we find that God is truly, fully, and finally enough.  This journey invites women to walk through doors leading to a life anchored, satisfied, beautiful, unleashed, pure, strong, and influential.  It is our conviction that we've spent enough time with biblical information especially since it was given to us for transformation...from the inside out.  It won't always be easy, but the insight gained through the rigors of honest self-disclosure promises a new definition of devotion. (198 pages)

Few people will talk openly about their money.  It is the number one God substitute in American life.  Fewer consciously worship it.  But still we bow to its power, potential, and provision.   It very well may be the last battle for our souls.  The final frontier to be conquered. 

Currently out of print, but being revised and expanded, this work challenges our thinking on the effect money has on our hearts.  Returning the tithe is first of all a matter of worship.  The first and best act of worship.  Returning the Lord's tithe is not an archaic bygone, but the living hope of freedom and the powerful dynamic of generosity.  It is God's plan of the ages and simply makes sense.

Look for our announcement of the release of The Final Frontier.
