For what I have experienced so far in the come alive program, is how much Mom and Dad hurt I actually have, as well as how "mean" I have been to myself. I woke up this morning and actually apologized to myself while pouring my coffee as if someone else were saying it. "Amber, I am so sorry for how mean I have been to you. I have been mean to you for a long time." Sitting with pain is not what I would call easy, but I feel stronger for sitting with it instead of numbing as I had in the past.

The familiar moment
You know how you want to show up. But out of nowhere, you’re having uncontrollable reactions and then shaming yourself for it.
For you this may happen in your home, at work, online or in new situations. You have these huge reactions (either internally or outwardly) and it feels like your emotions are running the show. You have to put so much effort to manage your feelings and reactions, you haven’t had time to truly rest or enjoy the moment....in you can’t even remember how long.
Sound familiar? This could sound like:
“Why does everything feel so hard?”
Maybe you’ve prayed, read Scripture, journaled, or worked through things in counseling. Some of that may have helped you grow. Yet certain moments still leave you feeling powerless and frustrated with yourself.
Tap what you’ve already tried.
Your previous work can be part of what you bring into this process.
The approach
Let’s understand what gets stirred up beneath the reaction.
It can be disorienting to have a big reaction to a seemingly small issue. We might feel out of control, or confused or even ashamed of our response. It might bother us for a while after it happens. We might feel weird in relationships or situations after it occurs. There’s nothing wrong with you, and there is a way to figure out what was happening in that moment and how to recover from it.
We use the Root System Method™ to help you explore thoughts, emotional needs, beliefs, and earlier experiences that may be fueling the intensity of these reactions. We help you understand yourself on a deeper level and are trained to facilitate healing in the wounded areas that are uncovered. This is the transformation we walk you through in Come Alive.
From there, you’ll see different results. Healthy roots produce healthy fruit. You’ll enjoy seeing the change happen from the inside out and watching how the people or situations that used to trigger you don’t anymore. You’re free to connect with others, live more vibrantly and feel the enjoyment of life more often.
This work honors you and your story. It facilitates healing encounters with God as you gently explore what’s under the surface and shaping your inner thought life and emotions. Healing happens from the inside out, the way God intended.
Everyday changeSmall, recognizable moments
Everyday change
Imagine having more room to choose your response in the moments that used to overwhelm you.
The work in Come Alive is aimed at changes you can recognize in everyday life:
- When someone feels distant, notice the fear coming up and practice returning to steadiness before responding.
- When you feel hurt or make a mistake, meet yourself with compassion instead of turning immediately to “I’m never enough.”
- Reach toward God with honesty about what you feel and need, including the parts you find difficult to share.
- Express a need or set a boundary more clearly, while making room for compassion for yourself and the other person.
- Work toward a gracious response without pretending that something painful was okay.
You may still feel hurt, disappointed, or triggered. The aim is to grow in how you understand those moments, care for yourself, and decide what to do next.
The program
Twelve weeks to work through what you’re carrying, with people who will walk with you.
Come Alive brings curriculum, group coaching, and community together in a cohort of no more than 12 people. You’ll have a small group to engage with as you put the work into practice.
You’ll explore family history and the experiences that shaped your needs, make room for unprocessed grief, and practice relating to yourself with compassion. You’ll also work on your relationship with the inner critical voice that keeps telling you that you are not enough.
Curriculum
Learn the ideas and practices that guide the work, then consider how they connect with your own story and relationships.
Group coaching
Bring what is coming up for you into a small coaching setting, where you can explore it with support.
Community
Stay connected with others who are also working toward healthier relationships with God, themselves, and the people they love.
Optional weekly private coaching
Choose the higher-support option for a weekly one-to-one session with a trained coach, alongside the same curriculum, group coaching, and community.

Who we are
We created Come Alive from years of personal work and coaching Christians through these struggles.
We’re Spencer and Sammi from Alive + Free Consulting. We’ve invested $100,800 in our own coaching and therapy, alongside years of reading, schooling, and research. We know what it means to keep looking for help with something that matters deeply to you.
Our work coaching more than 12,000 Christians has also shaped this program. We’ve helped people explore codependency, shame, self-hatred, rejection, abandonment, and patterns they felt powerless to change.
Come Alive brings together what we’ve learned into a guided 12-week experience, with room to explore your own story and practice relating differently to God, yourself, and others.

Come Alive brings a Christian curriculum, personal exploration, coaching, and a small cohort into one 12-week experience. You’ll explore what comes up in your own relationships and practice responding with support. Your previous work can be part of what you bring into this process.
Yes. Come Alive is for Christian men and women who want to work on their relationship with God, themselves, and others. You do not need to be married to take part.
Our Christian faith is central to the work. We make room to explore your emotions, beliefs, and experiences while helping you turn toward God and receive His love. You can bring your questions and struggles into the process.
You choose what you share and how deeply you explore. We work at a pace you can engage with. The private-coaching option also gives you weekly one-to-one time with a coach.
Both include the same 12-week curriculum, group coaching, and community, with no more than 12 people per cohort. The $2,497 option adds a weekly one-to-one session with a trained coach. The $997 option does not include private sessions.
You can take part on your own. We work with your experiences, responses, needs, and boundaries. Healthy relationships also involve the other person’s choices; the program does not promise to change your spouse or ask you to accept harmful behavior.
Come Alive is a Christian coaching and education program. It does not provide clinical treatment or replace care from a licensed mental health professional.

This course merges biblical principles and leading neuroscience and teaches on topics such as shame, self-hatred, triggers, communication styles, codependency, encountering the unconditional love of God and more.
For group calls: when you apply, you will check off a few predetermined group coaching slots that you could attend in order of preference. While your first choice is not guaranteed, we will do our best to place you in the available cohort that most aligns with your preferences. The predetermined call times will all be either weekday evenings or weekend mornings (according to PST time zone). All calls will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
For 1:1 calls: you will work directly with your assigned coach to schedule these.
The curriculum is produced by Sammi + Spencer, founders of Alive + Free Consulting, along with a few trusted guest speakers. The coaching calls (both group and individual) are facilitated by coaches trained through Alive + Free Consulting and have many years of experience with the RSM™ method.
