Formation · Where reading becomes practice

Information changes minds. Formation changes lives.

Five formations, one for each theme — each built to move an idea from your head into the rhythms of your week. Walk any of them your way: a self-paced Pathway, or a facilitated Cohort with a guide and a group.

The formations

Theme 01

Coming Soon

The Exodus Path to Freedom

Freedom requires leaving the security of familiar captivity and journeying through the wilderness of surrender. Strickland tracks the Exodus narrative to expose the subtle idols and systemic entanglements that bind individuals and communities, teaching readers how God dismantles internal and societal Pharaohs to form a liberated people. A reader walks through the anatomy of oppression, unlearns slave mentalities, and steps into the risky, open-handed obedience of promised-land living.

Theme 02

Coming Soon

Better Together: Mutuality and Gender Reconciliation

God designed women and men to co-labor in mutual authority, shared power, and unhindered partnership. Rooted in the Genesis creation design and the redemptive practice of Jesus, Strickland dismantles patriarchal domination, fear-based division, and systemic silencing of women in the church. A reader learns to identify subtle power hoarding, cultivate deep institutional trust, and practice collaborative leadership that empowers every gift for the kingdom.

Theme 03

Coming Soon

The Other Side of Hope

Cynicism is an emotional defense mechanism against disappointment, while despair is the surrender of future possibility. Strickland guides leaders through the collapse of naive optimism into a grounded, resilient hope discovered only when self-reliance is completely abandoned. A reader walks through the threshold of grief, unmasks defense mechanisms, and cultivates an active, gritty imagination anchored in God's resurrection power.

Theme 04

Coming Soon

Embracing the Beautiful Mess

Spiritual transformation rarely follows linear progress; it emerges directly out of chaos, disruption, and broken plans. Strickland draws on the Genesis creation narrative and street-level pastoral encounters to show that the Holy Spirit hovers over dark waters to bring forth order and beauty. A reader learns to stop managing appearances, welcome disruptions as holy invitations, and participate in God's creative renewal within personal failure and communal upheaval.

Theme 05

Coming Soon

Justice and Kingdom Advocacy

True holiness cannot be separated from aggressive compassion that confronts modern slavery, sexual exploitation, and structural injustice. Drawing from decades on the frontlines of the Salvation Army War College and anti-trafficking networks, Strickland casts a vision for an incarnational church that breaks chains, demands fair trade, and stands physically beside the marginalized. A reader moves from intellectual agreement about justice to sacrificial, on-the-ground advocacy that sets captives free.

The rhythm

How a formation works

1

Read the idea

Short readings and real cases open each week — the theology and the story behind the shift.

2

Practice the shift

Embodied practices and prompts move it off the page and into your actual week and neighborhood.

3

Debrief

Alone in a journal or together in a cohort — name what you saw God doing, then take the next small step.

Walking with a guide

What a cohort adds

The content is identical to the self-paced Pathway. What a cohort adds is people: a trained facilitator, a small group walking the same weeks, and the accountability of showing up together.

A trained facilitator guiding each session
A small group walking the same weeks with you
Live discussion, questions, and honest debrief
Accountability that keeps practice from drifting

Before you begin · FAQ

Questions about formation

The content is exactly the same. A Pathway is self-paced — you move through the readings and practices on your own schedule. A Cohort walks that same material with a trained facilitator and a small group on a shared weekly rhythm.
