About Me

I am the Lead Pastor at Journey Community Church in Allen, Texas. Six years ago we began our first Life With God group. This formational process has become the core of our desire to help people discover a more formational approach to their faith. We have begun utilizing Life With God studies as the core of our Community Group system. Having been in vocational ministry for over 25 years, I am excited to finally be able to offer a discipleship process that truly invites people to discover a life-changing encounter with God.

About Me

I am a spiritual director, trained by Sustainable Faith. I have been a believer for over 60 years, married for 47 years, raised and homeschooled six children, lived in 11 states, and ministered alongside my husband who served as an Air Force pilot, a pastor, and an Air Guard Chaplain. We are retired and enjoying 14 grandchildren.

I have loved God all my life, but only in the last five years did I discover how to know God and myself in the deep intimacy I had always longed for. I am passionate about sharing the spiritual formation concepts that helped me find healing and joy in Jesus.

I led a small group of women from my church, Midlothian Bible, through the first two semesters of LWG in 2022-23. If they all commit to semester three in the Fall, there will be six of us, so I would love to open to others who have completed the first two books. I also hope to lead a new group through semesters one and two, beginning in September. Although I will recruit first within my church, I expect there will be room for others, who I would be delighted to include. Stand by for dates and times.

About Me

My name is Dana Franklin and I am an American living in Canada and have led all semesters of LWG in an online group, which was amazing because of the work Jesus did in our lives and the trusing relationships we formed. I've been in ministry for over 30 years, earned a certificate spiritual formation at Talbot Theological Seminary and have worked in the marketplace recently. My desire is for each LWG member to know and experience God's love, grace, truth and forgiveness in deeper ways and to know oneself more clearly and honestly while journeying with others in the context of trusting community.

About Me

Hello! My name is Barb Toft. Having been a spiritual director for the past 6 years, my heart is to lead women into a deeper, more intimate, relationship with God. For this reason, I became a leader of the Life With God program. Because I know it is difficult to find a church that teaches the Bible from a spiritual transformation format, I am drawn to leading Life With God classes as an online community group. I have co-led these classes in my church and now my desire is to offer the content of this life-changing program to all women who are seeking more in their relationship with God but having difficulty finding the next step, perhaps even in their own churches.

For this reason, I am currently accepting emails of interest for an online women's group which will begin on September 13th, 2023 and run consecutive Wednesday evenings for 12 weeks. The class will run 6:30-8 pm CST on Zoom. Please contact me for more information or if you have any interest in the group or have questions you'd like answered. Thank you!
