About the Ministry

Equipping people with the biblical tools to walk with a God who meets every need of the soul.

We understand what it’s like to feel continually defeated. After our own journeys to spiritual healing, we’ve embarked on this work to help others find the same freedom — the kind that comes only from completely surrendering to Jesus Christ.

A Story

Carolyn’s testimony.

Even though I was saved when I was 4, I struggled with severe anxiety, insecurity, fits of anger, and depression for most of my life. I felt like I had to control my environment and perform well to be accepted by others and be happy with myself. Failure and success or how valued I felt by others drove how I felt about myself.

I knew my Bible, prayed, taught Sunday School and Youth Group, participated in Bible studies and small groups, and went to Bible school. I knew what Jesus did on the cross for me. I “tried” hard to live the Christian life. I really loved God and knew He loved me. I knew I was supposed to have the fruit of the Spirit, but I didn’t, and I had no idea what was wrong.

About 14 years ago I started asking God why I was so emotionally up and down and why I couldn’t be happy even though I had so much in my life that was good. Once I started asking God these questions, He answered by putting me through the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to experience emotionally and spiritually. That challenging time began the journey of discovering the difference between living my life knowing Christ and living my life with surrender moment by moment to the Holy Spirit. He also began to show me what spiritual warfare is all about.

Now my deepest desire is to walk with others into the same freedom — so they no longer live as slaves to fear, performance, and the strongholds that once ruled me.

Biblical Counselor

Thalita Moore

Certified in Biblical Training. Graduate of Word of Life Brazil · BA in Communications. Specializes in walking with teens and young adults.

I accepted Jesus as my savior when I was 5 years old, however my life had a lot of ups and downs. My parents were divorced, and I dealt with a lot of emotional manipulation that often made me think God only loved me when I was “acting good” for Him. I lived as a slave of fear — fear of man, of rejection, of being unloved.

As Paul says in Philippians, it was in the middle of the suffering that I got to not only know Jesus, but deeply experience Him. Experiencing Him brings freedom and a whole other perspective. He filled me with His joy — the kind we can’t keep for our own.

Biblical Counselor

Mandy T.

Trained through Stage 5 Ministry. Walks with women seeking freedom from fear, spiritual warfare, and the long fight to surrender.

I grew up in the church and came to know Jesus at age 6. But I struggled a lot with spiritual warfare, feeling unloved and fear. For years I fought God on dealing with these things, thinking I could do it on my own.

A few years ago God broke through to my heart and led me to Stage 5 Ministry. God used this ministry to teach me about repentance, surrender, and trusting Him.

Biblical Counselor

Mallory P.

Walked through Stage 5 Ministry as a recipient before stepping into counseling. Specializes in walking with those struggling with anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and shame.

Having been saved at a young age, I honestly don’t remember the first time I accepted Jesus into my heart. From the earliest age I can remember, I struggled with anxiety — afraid of the unknown and of the things I dreaded might happen.

In high school, insomnia and panic attacks took over more and more of my life. I was also letting sin grow in my heart, and I felt a constant tension between not wanting to disappoint God and still wanting to do what I wanted. I based my relationship with God on how well I could follow my perception of His “rules.”

During this season, the hymn What a Friend We Have in Jesusmade me curious whether I could find relief from the anxiety, shame, and heaviness by spending more time in prayer. I began talking to Jesus while I drove, like He was sitting in the passenger seat. The more I talked to Him, the more I realized the relationship I thought I had with Him wasn’t based on grace — I had always believed it was based on what I did, not on what He did on the cross.

Even after walking away from sin, I still didn’t understand the abundant life Jesus talks about in John 10:10. After years of trying to fix my fear, control, anxiety, and shame, I was introduced to Stage 5 Ministry. As I learned how to walk in step with Christ in full surrender, I experienced freedom from my anxiety. I no longer have panic attacks, and fear is no longer a constant struggle for me.

After years of being a recipient of the work of Stage 5 Ministry, I am so grateful to now walk alongside others, just as Carolyn walked alongside me.
