Six paths. One destination: strength in the Lord.
FINDING STRENGTH IN THE LORD
Emotional Resilience
Strength for whatever life brings — stress, sadness, anger, and everything in between.
WISE AND FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP
Personal Finances
Budget with confidence, get out of debt, and build a future you can give from.
FROM IDEA TO INCOME
Starting and Growing My Business
Turn an idea into a profitable business — customers, cash flow, and growth.
BETTER WORK, FASTER
Find a Better Job
Network, interview, and land better work — faster than you thought possible.
A BRIGHTER PATH
Education for Better Work
Choose a path, fund your schooling without heavy debt, and succeed in the classroom.
HIS GRACE, NOT WILLPOWER
Healing through the Savior
A confidential weekly group where twelve steps and the Savior’s grace lift habits, hurts, and burdens.
The heart of every course
My Foundation runs through it all.
Whichever course you choose, every meeting begins with a principle from My Foundation — twelve doctrinal principles of spiritual and temporal self-reliance. You don’t just learn a skill. You build a life on the rock of the Redeemer.
✦ Exercise faith in Jesus Christ
✦ Manage money
✦ Use time wisely
✦ Work and persevere
✦ Solve problems
✦ Become one, serve together
✦ Show integrity
✦ Seek learning
How groups work
Not a class. A council.
A small group
8–14 people around a table. Everyone participates; everyone belongs.
No expert required
A facilitator guides the materials — the group teaches each other, with the Spirit.
1–2 hours a week
One weekly meeting for the length of the course. Practical from day one.
Commitments that stick
Weekly commitments and an action partner turn good intentions into habits.
