Encounter Jesus in the places that hurt most
In eight unhurried weeks, you'll learn the Immanuel Prayer Approach from the inside out — anchoring your nervous system in God's presence, revisiting painful memories with Jesus beside you, and building the skills to guide others through the same journey.
I've learned that when a person feels truly seen — by another human and by Jesus — the places that felt unreachable finally begin to open.— Libby George
What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Discover why the posture of your heart anchors you and opens you to greater peace and joy. Nervous system in thanksgiving, appreciation, and joy. When you do this, your relational circuits open, and in a place of safety, Immanuel, who is always with us, even in moments of emotional distress.
- Recognise and name your own emotional states through the Immanuel lens, building the attunement skills needed to guide others with compassion.
- Discover what a clean language is and how curiosity is a key that unlocks deep -based language that invites discovery without leading or pressuring — a foundational skill for facilitation and ministry.
- Revisit painful memories with Jesus present, allowing the Holy Spirit to reshape narratives of shame, fear, or grief with truth and compassion.
- Understand the neuroscience of trauma, dysregulation, and implicit memory well enough to help yourself — and eventually others — return to regulated, Christ-centred peace.
- Facilitate a complete Immanuel Prayer session from appreciation through to integration, including safe approaches to internal parts and fragmented identity.

Libby George
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've spent years pursuing God sincerely — and yet there are still places inside you that feel untouched. Places where the theology you love hasn't quite reached the pain you carry. I know that territory. And I suspect you do too.
That's exactly what drew me to the Immanuel Prayer Approach. Not as a method or a ministry model, but as a way of actually encountering the Jesus who said I am with you — in the specific memories, specific emotions, and specific fears that have felt most resistant to transformation. What Dr Karl Lehman's work articulates so beautifully is that relational connection with God isn't just spiritually meaningful — it's the actual mechanism through which the human brain and heart heal. Neuroscience and the gospel are, it turns out, telling the same story.
This course grew out of my own experience of that story. I've sat with Immanuel Prayer personally, I've been trained in its principles and practices, and I've walked alongside people in pastoral care and prayer ministry contexts as they've brought their own hardest places into the light of God's presence. What I've seen — again and again — is that when people feel genuinely seen and safely held, something shifts. Not because of clever technique, but because connection with Jesus is real, and it changes things.
I built this course because I wanted to create the foundations journey I wish I'd had — one that takes you through the appreciation exercise and the neuroscience of joy, through attunement and clean language, through story work and internal parts, all the way to facilitating a complete session yourself. One that never rushes you, never pressures you toward a particular experience, and always keeps consent and safety at the centre.
Whether you're here for your own healing, for your marriage, for the people you pastor or counsel or pray with — you are welcome here. Come as you are, bring your questions and your doubts and your half-formed hopes. We'll take it slowly, together, and see what Jesus does.
