Student Class Reviews

What others are saying about RSOM:

This course really helped me walk in the Freedom that can only be obtained when you follow Christ!

I no longer ruminate over negative thoughts or thoughts that trigger the pain of past events or mistakes. I recognize immediately the intentional system in place trying to keep me in bondage.
