Barnabas Graduate Testimonials

The Hills

“There’s not a person on the face of the earth who wouldn’t benefit from Barnabas. I had been active in Al-Anon and had the tools, but I didn’t use them. Lots of

people out there have those tools, but they haven’t been shown how to use them … I don’t think I ever really knew who I was until I went through Barnabas.”

Jesse

“Last year my life had gotten to a point so low I did not even recognize it as the bottom. By some unknowable grace I managed to second guess my cut and run instincts and the Barnabas Journey somehow came into my life as an option for dealing with it all. It took hitting rock bottom for me to even entertain the notion of asking for help (much less taking it). It was the single most significant decision I have ever made.

Barnabas is a process (a Journey if you will) by which you are led to come to terms with your life and your role in it. It is a community of people who by virtue of their presence will take you for what you are and nothing else. You will not be a hero to them nor will you be a villain. No matter what. Barnabas first leads you to an honest experience of yourself but it will also give you tools the give that experience some longevity beyond the learning space of the sessions themselves.

You do not have to be on the ragged edge like I was to want this for yourself. Barnabas is for anyone seeking a means by which to live their life more fully. Barnabas has been described as: 7 years of therapy compressed into 7 days. It was that and more for me.” Jesse Bock
