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.

? Thoughts Emotional needs Beliefs Earlier experiences The reaction A new response
Above: what happensBelow: what may sit beneath it
Our work

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.

Amber J.Alive + Free Consulting participant

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.

Haley D.Alive + Free Consulting participant

The program has given me so much breakthrough and seems to give more with each session! I’ve had major breakthrough with confrontation and the way I am communicating during confrontation. I don’t agree that I was blaming my spouse for things, but the program has shown me how he could be perceiving what I am explaining as blame. It leads no where because he is automatically defensive and then my need goes unmet…however, now that I am aware that God meets my needs, I can pretty effectively hold space before confrontation to meet my needs with God so that responsibility isn’t falling on my spouse! Y’all are amazing. I love the program, I am thankful for each of you!

Brooks J.Alive + Free Consulting participant

I can only say, WOW! As I move slowly through the program, I find the homework assignments given are thought provoking and in-depth. If we are honest, with ourselves, it makes you go back through the "STUFF" (literally, stuffed) we have built up inside of us (hidden) to answer the question: Why? As an older student with a good life, I always knew there were things that I stuffed and became a "performer" to ensure I could get to my destination. I did that and rose to the rank of Colonel in the military, have a successful career outside of the military, a family and now two grandkids. I have been to war and survived. I was in an accident, and it took me 8 months to learn how to walk again and I did it. I have faced cancer and survived. (All of my I's include the people that encouraged me to not quit or give up as I didn't do it alone) But my "Why? has always been there and these past 3 lessons and made that rise to the top of my list. I am thankful for the homework assignment and can't wait to finish and quite possibly, get my why answered.

Jessica N.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Being raisied in a religious background I have repeatedly cast out the spirit of depression in my life and it always came back. But by showing compassion to the young version of me I’m finally feeling seen for the first time. My biggest breakthrough has been realizing that loving my inner child and healing that pain IS the only way to move forward in emotional maturity.❤️

Christine D.Alive + Free Consulting participant

We are listening as a couple. For my husband to do this is a miracle but you two are very relatable. Part 4 on the inner critic was really good.

Dina G.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Realizing on a whole new level that I don’t have to partner with my inner critic and voice of shame… that it really isn’t based on truth…Starting to know that on deeper level, not just surface affirmation. Starting to realize that wow, I can be free from it! I don’t owe it any “due diligence” to see if there is any truth to that voice. Starting to love myself one step closer to unconditionally, excited about how topic 4 homework will take that deeper. Asking God how He feels about me has also been a big part of this process🙌🏻

Doug S.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Just really embracing inner child work solely has been a massive breakthrough for me.

Courtney P.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Really love the breakthroughs with shame. It’s taking practice, but noticing shame patterns and being authentically me is feeling so much better.

Alzbeta V.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Hi, my biggest breakthrough so far happened in topic 2. I was facing my pain towards my mom and my dad. Cried about it and I felt this heaviness lifted off my heart. That experience itself was so pleasant, but I also so naturally started talking to God about it and had the desire to do so which was probably even more important for me. As I am experiencing a lot of resentment toward reaching Him since I started this program. And since that moment my heart started leaking more memories. And all this process became more hopefull and pleasent experience. There is still lot of pain, but I feel now the pain has a purpose.

Salla YAlive + Free Consulting participant

I’ve wanted to do this course for two years now but find that now only I’m ready for it. I love how this course is bringing so much light to the different places in my heart. It’s a fresh, compassionate voice that I hear through Sammi & Spencer; the Father’s voice. I’ve learned to tuck down my feelings, anger and live in denial in many areas of my life and I’ve found Alive&free being such a helpful tool to get rid of the unhealthy ways of coping and relearning to value myself and my feelings and giving space to things without dwelling in a negative way. The talk about loving our inner child couldn’t be more accurate and helpful. I’ve been able to show true compassion for myself probably for the first time in my life and realizing that makes me sad, but happy that this process is on now because that’s also the level I can give to others and I wanna become better at it. Going through this program with you and the Holy Spirit has been so good. Thank you for all that you do!

Madison P.Alive + Free Consulting participant

After going through the later topics, it feels like a key has been given and a door (doors) unlocked into how I relate to others, form my own values, and also see how others also act based on the position of their hearts in a given season. I feel empowered to begin forming deep, intentional connections with others and see how my "yes" is a great tool that I must guard and use to my own discretion. I am excited to begin testing the knowledge I have obtained and form concrete examples and tangible experiences of connection with my friends and peers. I also feel less anxious about carrying expectations into relationships and am excited to continue learning about and practicing my assertive communication!

Fatima S.Alive + Free Consulting participant

I am so grateful for this program. I have experienced so much freedom when I began to put into practice what Sammi & Spencer teach in these courses. For the first time, I feel connected to myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life experiences through this program. Because of you I am becoming more aware of my internal world. I'm very grateful. God bless you!

Melissa H.Alive + Free Consulting participant

The key thing that I am seeing about myself so far is just how much I have stuffed things down for so many years. I'm having difficulty allowing these things to come up and out. I am slowly peeling the layers of the onion and appreciate receiving some steps and examples of how to keep digging. I appreciate all that Sammi, Spencer, and the team have poured out in these courses. ❤️

Giovanna A.Alive + Free Consulting participant

This program has truly been a game changer for me and it has given me a lot of hope and confidence that my deep wounds can be healed and I can be set free from my past traumas & pains. I have been praying for a very long time for healing and God surprised me with this program :)

Corinne E.Alive + Free Consulting participant

I am so blessed with this training. I am peeling back the layers of my own heart and letting God create in me a clean heart that puts God at the center of my whole life. I fill privaledged to have taken the first 4 topics. I can see how my working on myself is allowing me to show more compassion, validation, and attunement in my family. I have a multi-generational household and care for my 3 grandchildren. My youngest requires a heart transplant, so that means many doctor appointments. I also homeschool my other 2. I see how this course is changing how I am dealing with the small things now and how I need to be a loving role model for them. Starting at home is wonderful, I can practice what I am learning. I have been sharing this with a close friend who is struggling, and I see how making her feel safe has transformed our friendship. Thank you so much for your ministry.

Elnora M.Alive + Free Consulting participant

Hi, I am Elnora. I am in my last month with Alive and Free. It has been the lifeline I needed to learn what has been going on in my heart and given me the tools to get healing from unmet needs in the past. It Has helped me identify partnerships that I have had with the enemy of my soul. It has helped me to deconstruct negative beliefs and unhealthy partnerships, and reconstruct with a healthy partnership with God, who is unconditional love. I am going through Alive and Free Consulting the 2nd time. This time around, I could look at my dad, who was dying with an incurable blood disease and in excruciating pain the last months of his life, with a caring heart. When he was going through this time, my heart was locked to him. This time through, I could go to him and ask for forgiveness.

Janie G.Alive + Free Consulting participant

WOW! So powerful and thoughtful! I am sad that it has taken so long to get to this point in my life, however, I am so grateful that God has brought me to here and through your love and teaching has opened my eyes and heart to FINALLY begin receiving healing! Through this, I am excited to see what God has in store for my future life chapters! Thank you so very much, I am eternally grateful! My prayer is that God richly blesses you and your family!!! ❤️😘❤️

Lynette B.Alive + Free Consulting participant

One of the many helpful insights is the idea of forgiving yourself for the harsh judgments, and expressing compassion to neutralize the power of shame that one internalizes.

Lucy S.Alive + Free Consulting participant

So blessed to be part of this journey. Its awakening issues,finding sources and most importantly areas of self sabotage and pain especially caused during my childhood days in my parents house.

AnonymousAlive + Free Consulting participant

It has been a blessing to receive other perspectives and reflect on my past experiences, family and friends. Life has been a challenge in the past 3 years, even now - major changes and I am thankful that these programs - sharing life experiences to me has been very helpful and encouraging. I am just a lump of clay, but my potter isn't done yet. May I continue to be humble, wanting God's change with me and trust-fall into His plans, no matter where I land. I want and need His reckless love.
