About Faith Forward

Out of all of the uncertainties in this season of change, one thing is for certain, everyone is or has experienced unprecedented happenings in their life! While many things and situations have taken on new meanings, there is one thing that remains the same, and it’s called faith. Born of Spirit: its fierceness, its 911 connection to God, its availability to whosoever will confess sin and believe… it’s all in there – and more. I’m excited to explore this ideal surrounding how we “Faith Forward” in a faith exchange. Faith takes on greater expressions of godly confidence and trust – and at the same time has proven that a little faith is just as effective as great faith (God holds the scales).

What are we exchanging then? Glad you asked. Faith over fear – Joy over depression/sadness – Peace over destruction – Self-love over negative self-talk, motivation for better tomorrows.

Faith Forward into Wellness

Essentials For Change is a collection of strategies for living well that provide education, inspiration and organization for life’s challenges. Our seminars, workshops and life coaching methods support and nurture women physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. We help women with personal and professional wellness by facilitating actions for renewal, positive mindfulness, and inner peace through faith in God. Gayle’s Faith Forward publications support women in building inner strength that clings to their core essence – regardless of the many roles they fulfill in their lives.  

In the coming months blogs and coaching exercises will be added to this site that confer how our daily lives need faith to make great exchanges for our good and the glory of God!

Let’s step into wellness together…

BREAKING ILLUSIONS

RECOGNIZING THE POWER WITHIN

Before you and I were even born, God loved us. Our Creator saw all of His daughters, and knows how to get us free of any pain and/or hurts that we might encounter. He wants you to know that this pain, those emotions, or your position in life are not barriers to His love or His ability to nurture you. God already knows and understands the illusions that thrust themselves against our faith. He holds a light for us so we can see freely how to penetrate whatever we must break through.
