The 12-Week Freedom Program
The freedom you've read about is meant to be lived.
You know what Scripture says about freedom. This is where you actually walk into it. A 12-week coaching program that takes you to the root of what's kept you stuck, gives you the practical tools to heal it for good, and equips you to step into the life and calling God has for you next.

Start Here
You love God. You've done the work. And you're still fighting the same battles.
From the outside, it looks like you have it together. You show up. People rely on you. Your faith is real. But privately, something hasn't changed, no matter how many books you've read, sermons you've heard, or times you've prayed about it.
The truth is, you can understand your pain completely and still be stuck in it. Insight isn't the same as healing. And willpower runs out.
If You Recognize Yourself Here, Keep Reading
This is for the believer who's still quietly struggling
You'd never say most of this out loud. But you feel it:
- You're distant or short in your marriage, and you can feel the disconnection growing, even though it's the last thing you want.
- You parent the way you swore you never would, reacting, snapping, then lying awake with the guilt of it.
- You know God, but you don't experience Him. You believe the truth on paper; you just don't feel close to Him the way you hoped to.
- You're a believer who's still fighting the same private battles, the addiction, the habit, the thing you keep confessing and keep repeating.
- Anger shows up faster and hotter than it should, and you don't fully know why.
- Anxiety hums under everything. You manage it, but you can't remember the last time you felt at rest.
- Depression settles on you in seasons, and staying ahead of it is exhausting.
- Shame and guilt follow you, a quiet voice saying that if people knew the real you, it would all fall apart.
If you read that and thought that's me, you're exactly who this program was built for. Not because you're broken beyond repair, but because you were never meant to carry this, and there's a real way through it.
You don't need more information about your pain. You need a way through it.
One Person Who Was Right Where You Are
Before TFJ, I was living in constant fear of abandonment, shame, guilt, and thoughts of self-harm. It got so bad I was scared I'd act on the lies from the enemy, so I reached out to Derek. I was apprehensive, I'd tried so many kinds of therapy and deliverance. But the process wasn't scary. It was beautiful. I felt Jesus present in every moment. Derek led me through breaking soul ties and replacing the lies I'd believed for years with the truth of how God actually feels about me.
I won't say everything is instantly perfect. But I haven't had a single thought of self-harm since, and that was a daily struggle before. I'm responsive now instead of reactive with my wife and kids. And I know that even if everything fell apart, I'd still have a God who loves me more than I can imagine. I've never felt more confident in who I am. This is an investment with an extremely high return.
Why This Is a Coaching Program
Understanding your pain and moving through it are two different things
A lot of people come to us after years of good, valuable therapy, and they say the same thing: "I understand myself really well. I'm just still stuck."
That's the gap this program is built for. Therapy tends to focus on processing and talking through what happened. Coaching is about what you do with what surfaces. When a memory, a lie, or a wound comes to light, we don't just examine it. We walk you through the specific, practical steps to deal with it and replace it with what's true.
And we mean practical. We don't just tell you to "surrender" or "let it go" or "trust God" and leave you to figure out how. Those words are easy to say and almost impossible to act on without a method. So we show you the how, the actual steps to walk it out, so that revelation turns into real change instead of another thing you know but can't do.
This is faith and works coming together, the way they were meant to. Truth you don't act on stays theoretical. Truth you walk out changes your life.
This isn't a replacement for professional mental-health care, and in some seasons you may want both. It's a different tool doing a different job: forward motion and practical transformation.
It's hard work and it takes time, but you leave with so many tools you can take into your everyday life. Real change happens. It's worth it.
The Whole Person Healing™ Method
Freedom. Foundation. Future.
Everything in this program moves through three phases, the same proven process we've refined over more than a decade of coaching, designed to heal the whole person: mind, body, and emotions.
Freedom
We get to the origin of the pain, not just the symptom, and actually resolve it. You'll grieve what needs grieving, forgive in a way that frees you, and clear out the lies and patterns that have been running the show. This is the deep work, and we walk you through it step by step.
Foundation
Freedom clears the ground. Foundation is what you build on it. You'll rewire the thought patterns and emotional baseline that kept pulling you back, and re-establish your identity on what's actually true about you, instead of what the wound told you.
Future
This is where most healing work stops, and where we're just getting started. Freedom isn't the finish line. You'll learn to sustain it as new things surface, step into what God is calling you toward, and carry what you've learned to the people around you. Your freedom was never just for you.
Faith Meets How You're Actually Wired
Truth you believe, change you can feel
You can have a real spiritual breakthrough and still fall back into the old pattern a week later. That's not a faith problem. It's that your brain and body never caught up.
Scripture tells us to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Neuroscience shows what that looks like in practice: the brain physically rewires with repeated, intentional focus. Old grooves lose their pull. New ones form. These aren't competing ideas, they're the same reality described from two directions.
So we pair them on purpose. Every truth comes with a practice that helps it take root, not just in what you believe, but in how you think, how your body responds, and how you show up the next day.
"As a believer, it can feel like you have to choose a resource with faith or one with neuroscience. TFJ blends both. You're not just masking the past, you're digging to the original wounds and learning how to move through them. I've downloaded a new operating system."
"It's a holistic approach that equips you for the rest of your life. It builds grids where there were none before, and puts a lot of neuroscience into action."

The topics in the first few weeks resonated the most, I'd been stuck there for over 60 years. Addressing the entry points the enemy had into my life was huge. I realized my "normal" wasn't the normal God wants for us, and His is so much better.

"My biggest breakthrough came on the 1:1 call, breaking soul ties with my family, especially my dad. It was so freeing."
"The listening exercises during coaching were the most valuable part of the whole journey. My coach was hearing both what I was saying and what God was saying for me. It was instrumental."

The Guides
We've walked this road. Now we walk it with you.
We're Derek and Hannah Abad, co-founders of The Freedom Journey. Years ago, each of us looked fine on the outside while quietly falling apart underneath, carrying wounds, shame, anxiety, and patterns that all our faith and effort couldn't seem to touch.
Derek was successful on paper and miserable under it: distant in his marriage, short with his kids, stuck in private cycles he thought he'd take to the grave. Hannah was showing up strong and capable while running on empty inside, until she knew something had to change.
Then we each experienced a freedom that was undeniable. Not another concept or quick fix, real healing that got to the root and held. It changed our marriage, our parenting, our minds, and our walk with Christ. It was so real it became our life's work.
Over more than a decade of coaching, backed by training, certifications, and trauma-informed tools, we built the process we wish we'd had. We don't guide from theory. We guide from the road we've already walked, and we've now had the privilege of walking hundreds of people down it.
Real People · Real Freedom
9.7 out of 10. And every single person would recommend it.
"The Freedom Journey brought wisdom, clarity, and healing, mending my broken marriage, replacing survival mode with purpose, and restoring joy to my home. It's the best thing I've done for myself, and I wish it was available 10 years ago."
"The section on grieving, I don't think I've ever heard it taught in such a healthy and biblical way. And it actually taught you how to grieve. I loved it."
"This is an in-depth program that helps you identify the origin of your pain and gives you practical tools to renew your mind, align your thoughts with God's truth, and experience real healing and freedom."
"A comprehensive, structured process to explore and heal past wounds and strengthen your closeness to God as the source of that healing. You get caring support and space to clear whatever's blocking you."
"Lordship and surrender. Jesus wasn't yet Lord, and I hadn't surrendered. Realizing that meant everything. This is hard work, but the change is real. I've benefited in so many ways."
"It helped me deal with past wounds that had dictated how I saw myself and God, wounds that kept me from growing in my relationship with Him. Addressing them changed everything."
"If you want to dig deep and face the things that need to be cleared so you can have a clearer connection to God, this is the course for you."
"I didn't know I could pull up emotions from when I was five years old. Addressing the things identified in those first few weeks was huge."
