When anxiety feels overwhelming, it’s easy to wonder where to even begin. That’s why, as part of our full redesign, we’ve restructured all our content into a simple, focused levels system — so your journey will follow a clear, intentional path.
Start with the Essentials
Everyone begins with Levels 1 and 2 — the foundational tools that bring the most immediate relief and clarity. These aren’t just “good ideas” — they’re the core practices that equip you for real change.
Grow Deeper Over Time
As your skills and understanding deepen, you’ll gain access to a growing library of targeted, real-world applications — from handling high-pressure workdays to navigating anxious thoughts at home.
✨ Introducing: Your New Anxiety Assistant ✨
We’re also launching a feature we know you’re going to love!
Meet your Anxiety Assistant — your friendly, 24/7 companion inside Capable Life. Ask it anything, and it won’t just give you a helpful answer — it will point you straight to the exact lesson, exercise, or resource that fits your question.
It’s like having a personal mentor who knows every corner of the site and cares about where you’re headed.
We’ve built all of this so you can focus on what matters most: making progress and finding peace.

Free Sermon Series: Bridging the Gap Between What You Believe and What You Experience
Have you ever thought, “I believe God loves me, but I don’t feel it”?Or wondered, “If God is with me, why can’t I sense Him?”
If so, you’re not alone.
Many of us wrestle with the gap between our beliefs about God and our daily experience of Him. That’s exactly what Steve Cuss explores in his newest book, The Expectation Gap—and now, you can go deeper through a free sermon series based on the book.
About the Series
This sermon series is built around the core message of The Expectation Gap: how to move from conceptual belief to visceral experience. Whether you’re a ministry leader, a small group host, or someone feeling stuck in your faith, this series will give you practical tools and biblically grounded teaching to help your people:
Recognize and release stuck spiritual patterns
Quiet their inner critic
Relax into God's presence
Discover freedom from the pressure to “have it all together”
Each chapter of the book includes group discussion questions and simple, actionable tools to practice. The sermon series pairs perfectly with small group engagement and includes 6 sermon manuscripts you can customize for your context.
Steve Cuss, founder of Capable Life, brings decades of experience in pastoring, counseling, and leadership development into every message. Each sermon is deeply biblical, emotionally honest, and refreshingly practical.
What You’ll Explore
Each week, the series tackles one of the most common expectation gaps:
“I believe God is with me, but I don’t see Him.”
“I believe God loves me, but I don’t feel it.”
“I thought I’d be further along by now.”
You’ll learn to name these invisible expectations, challenge the false narratives they create, and find new ways to experience God’s peace, love, and freedom—right where you are.
How to Access the Series
The sermon series is completely free and available to individuals, small groups, and churches.

You don’t have to live stuck in the gap. Let’s take this journey together—and start closing the space between what we believe about God and what we actually encounter from Him.

Soul Care Intensives with Lisa
When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough: Discover the Power of a Soul Care Intensive
If you’ve done the hard work of weekly therapy but find yourself stuck in familiar patterns, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point in their healing journey where traditional sessions aren’t quite enough to break through deeper layers of pain or confusion.
That’s where a Soul Care Intensive with Lisa can make all the difference.
What Is a Soul Care Intensive?
A Soul Care Intensive is a focused, immersive experience designed for those seeking significant progress in a short period of time. Over the course of four days, you’ll work one-on-one with Lisa, a licensed therapist with specialized training in trauma and attachment therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Each day includes 3.5 to 4 hours of personalized therapy, held in a confidential and comfortable setting. Afternoons and evenings are left open for rest, reflection, journaling, or quiet walks—whatever your soul needs to integrate the work of the day.
Is This Right for You?
Soul Care Intensives are ideal for individuals who:
Feel stuck in recurring emotional patterns
Want to explore unresolved trauma or attachment wounds
Are curious about the different “parts” of themselves and how they interact
Desire meaningful progress in a focused timeframe
Before scheduling, Lisa offers a Zoom consultation to help determine if this format is a good fit and if she is the right therapist to guide you through this journey.
Ready for a breakthrough?
A Soul Care Intensive may be the space you’ve been looking for—where deeper healing and clarity can finally begin.
