Find Freedom Session on Facebook
What Freedom Session has meant to me? The difference between life and death. Exaggeration? Not at all. I couldn't have asked for (because I couldn't have imagined) the level of hope and health I now enjoy.
Michelle, 2004
Start your Freedom Journey
Take the First Step

You've actually already taken it - you're here!

This web site is for you to get a feel for the Freedom Session 12 Step healing journey.  Our goal at the end of your visit is that you actually do something about the pain in your life.  God will heal you, but He needs your cooperation.  Don't buy into the lie that your life and issues are different than everyone else.  Perhaps you've been hurt more; perhaps less.  It takes the same amount of divine love and healing power to restore each of us.  We want you to stop selling yourself short - Jesus desires to give you hope and a future but He needs you to take the first step.  The devil wants to keep you in bondage to your past and "coulda, woulda, shoulda" thinking and life is simply too short for that.

You can actually peruse this and other similar web sites for hours but sooner or later you need to just cross over the line and give it a try.  Here are a few suggestions.

Click here to view a list of registered Freedom Session ministries to find one being offered near you.  If so, contact them to find out when the next registration or FS entry takes place.  If you can't find a group meeting close by, you have two options:
 
Invite Friends to Join You

If you've already purchased "Freedom Session on DVD," order as many extra Participant's Guide 1 copies as you have invited into your support group.  A group of 4-6 is ideal.  Meeting in a home creates a nice setting.  Simply point and play the DVDs and follow the small group and homework instructions in the Participant's Guide (click here to view the sampler).  Make sure you keep your group gender specific.  Ask each participant to make a commitment for 9 weeks so you can complete the first book together.  Each can decide after that whether or not to continue.

We also encourage you to show the FS program to your pastor, asking him/her to visit the Pastor to Pastor page on our web site.  Ask your pastor if he/she knows of others in your church who would benefit from such a support group.  Perhaps your church can offer some leadership or financial support.  As you and your pastor begin to see life transformation taking place, you may want to invest in the FS Director Kit and offer Freedom Session on a larger scale.
 
Join an Exisiting Group

God never intended for us to do life on our own so whenever possible, we encourage you to join an existing group.  It is much easier and much more enjoyable.  It is also much more likely that you will complete the program and experience the healing God has in store for you.

Freedom Session in United States

In 2009, Freedom Session began distributing materials in the US and currently have a number of churches/ministries who've purchased the program (Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii).  As Freedom Session continues to expand into the US, we will list additional locations.  Please check back with us in summer 2010 or consider starting Freedom Session in your location.

Freedom Session International

In 2009, Freedom Session International was born with a vision to expand the ministry of Freedom Session around the world with a special heart for the poor, abused and neglected.  Approximately 20% of Freedom Session Resources are invested in helping establish Freedom Session ministries in church plants, prisons and less fortunate areas.  Currently, Freedom Session International is committing resources to training and equipping pastors and leaders in Canada to more effectively minister to the broken in their communities.  Each year we invite those graduating from Freedom Session to prayerfully consider making a donation.  Find out more.
