Before I tell you what this cohort is all about, let me tell you about who it's for...

 

You're a Christian adult who struggles to say "no," who "goes along to get along," who has difficulty making decisions, and is tired of the fear inside of you that tells you to give in and avoid saying or doing what is important to you. You want to stand up, speak up, honor God, love well, and be courageous. 

 

WHETHER YOU'RE...
  • A Christian who is tired of giving in to others
  • A Christian husband who wants to lead better
  • A Christian wife who is afraid to speak up for herself
  • A Christian parent who allows their kids to get away with things because you're afraid to speak up
  • A Christian couple who avoids conflict out of fear or rejection
  • A Christian who desires to grow closer to God and be a God Pleaser

You're in the right place, and I'm going to tell you how COURAGEOUS will provide you with the tools, inspiration, and wisdom to overcome your fears and become more assertive.

In just 6 weeks, you’ll notice real, lasting change in how you think, feel, and respond. Specifically, you will:

 

✅ Break free from the root causes of people-pleasing—you’ll recognize where it started and why it’s been holding you back.

✅ Release hidden heart struggles and fears—you’ll experience a new sense of peace and confidence as you take practical, grace-filled steps toward healing.

✅ Replace harmful lies with God’s truth—you’ll walk away with specific truths that silence the lies you’ve believed and bring freedom in your thoughts.

✅ Live more fully in God’s grace—you’ll begin operating from a new, life-giving “system” of grace instead of striving for approval.

✅ Confidently set healthy boundaries—you’ll gain the courage and practical skills to say “no” without guilt and navigate conflict with wisdom.

✅ Stand firm in your identity in Christ—you’ll grow in deep reverence for God, knowing who you truly are in Him.

✅ Take measurable steps toward becoming more like Jesus—you’ll feel renewed, strengthened, and empowered to live out your faith authentically.

How it all started...

I struggled with self-esteem.

At least that's what therapists would say in the 80's and 90's. I spent most of my youth seeking approval, praise, and recognition. But when I didn't get it, I became depressed. Even suicidal in the darkest days.

I was the nice Christian guy who found my group at church. You know, the ones who accepted me and laughed at my jokes. 

Yet as I matured, went to college, and even married, the insecurities followed me. 

It wasn't until I went to Seminary that the Lord revealed something I never truly considered. "Fred, you're a people-pleaser." 

I spent years reading and working on myself, trying to overcome this all too common struggle. I asked myself the tough questions (and still do!) about who I am, vacillating between three answers: 1) Who God says I am; 2) who I believe I am, and 3) who others say I am. Why do I have a hard time saying, "No?" Why don't I speak up when I should? Why am I avoiding conflict? Why am I struggling to believe what God says?

Now, after 50 years of this struggle, God's Word, insights from the Holy Spirit, and the inspired writings of Godly people, I want to share this program with you and help you become COURAGEOUS!

 

My unique method for overcoming people-pleasing.

It was only after I realized how God had worked in me over the years that I understood how He had moved me to overcome my people-pleasing tendencies. And now I'll be sharing it with you. And it's only available inside my group coaching program, COURAGEOUS.

The COURAGEOUS PATH consists of the FIVE essential steps to overcome people-pleasing. The key is that you will be partnering with the Holy Spirit in truth and grace to grow in your journey to become like Christ. While our efforts alone can't save us, we can partner with Him in our sanctification to put on what works and put off what doesn't.

You can choose to take this journey alone, but why not learn from someone who has been down this road? Why struggle on this journey alone without a group to offer support and encouragement? You're not alone! Join us!
