Capable Life is fundamentally transforming my approach to ministry and to myself. It has helped me notice what’s going on inside of me, tune in to God’s presence with me, identify and turn from false beliefs within me, and actually be present for others—the very essence of my calling. I am a much better pastor because of Steve and his team. I highly recommend you join Capable Life!

The Capable Life community has been a great addition to my support system. I look forward to the monthly Zoom meetings, masterclasses, and seeing new video modules pop up in my feed. The greatest asset has been the ability to name the relational dynamics I am facing. This all has added up to a less anxious presence (at least internally).

This experience has been life-changing for me! It’s so applicable and speaks right to my heart. I still have so much to learn and I cannot wait!

Testimonials_Marvin-Williams.png__PID:6c987731-742d-4ba6-b9d3-a4c3e7923c83

Our staff had an overwhelmingly positive response because Steve shares his own stories, he makes it fun and Steve helps us process the concepts – helping us name sources of anxiety and ways we can identify and manage it.

Capable Life is an accessible and practical approach to understanding life and leadership through the lens of family systems. Applying its principles in relationships at home and work will lead to less conflict, healthier relationships, and deeper satisfaction. It has especially helped me lead and manage my organization more effectively in this season of COVID.

This content is gold. I go back to the modules again and again — and glean new insights each time.

It helps me be less anxious and more present to my coaching clients.

Testimonials_James-P.png__PID:7b186c98-7731-442d-bba6-79d3a4c3e792

Capable Life has helped me experience the life-changing power of the Gospel in ways that I had previously lead others to sing about (as a worship pastor) but didn’t always experience personally.
The tools and training available have helped me apply God’s Word in my life and it’s been transformative. I live day-to-day closer to Jesus, and in more of His freedom. The result has been more ministry effectiveness but also more life-giving refreshment in Jesus.
