The Elijah House School of Heart Healing exposes one to pastoral biblical counseling. The basic 201 class lays the foundations for healing and transformation, both for the students and for equipping the saints for inner healing and binding up broken hearts (Isaiah 61:1).

We teach foundational principles and tools for dealing with personal and interpersonal issues. Students learn to trace bad fruit to bitter roots formed in the heart (Hebrews 12:15), most often in childhood. They learn how to cut off bitter roots at the cross and bring repentance and inner healing to the heart. Transformation is the goal of this work—to raise up healthy Christians in their communities.

School lessons include core Elijah House teachings that help us understand how bitter roots are formed and how broken hearts can be healed through the biblical process of repentance and forgiveness.

This 13-week class is offered online and facilitated by Sherry Torbert or Jan Hart.

The student views two videos per week on their own time and then comes together with the group for a two-hour ministry session once per week. There is some recommended reading before and during the school. The first book required is Transforming the Inner Man by John Sandford.

The total cost of the course is $749 (which includes the application fee and a digital workbook).  If you desire to divide this into payments, we highly recommend using the Affirm app until we have Affirm connected to our webpage.

The 201 class topics include the biblical basis for Elijah House Ministry; bitter judgments and expectancies; inner vows; heart and mind; foundational lies; bitter fruits; accomplishing forgiveness; repentance and restitution; rightly expressing emotions; honoring father and mother; unmet needs; shame; praying to release trauma; burden-bearing; deliverance and inner healing; performance orientation; parental inversion; reconciling with God; healing spiritual rebellion; how we see God; and several ministry tools videos.

An important part of both the 201 and 202 schools is practical application in small groups.  There is a small amount of homework after each teaching but a great deal of application!    With the Zoom classes, individuals can attend from anywhere!
