New Co-Executive Director

I am excited to share that this July 1 will be the 25th anniversary of the official birthing of Christ-Life Ministries. Since then, we have seen thousands of people receive emotional healing and life transformation through The Ultimate Journey. As stewards of The Ultimate Journey and with the help of our amazing Board of Directors, three years ago we began a strategic planning process earnestly seeking God’s wisdom on how to make sure Christ-Life Ministries continues beyond Kathie and me.

Two years ago, God blessed us by calling John Selman to serve at Christ-Life Ministries. After serving on our Leadership Team for two years now, we are excited to announce that John has accepted the position of Co-Executive Director. John is an amazing man of God with tremendous gifts and talents. His servant heart has helped free up Kathie and me to concentrate more of our time on direct ministry. Over the next few years, we look forward to being freed up to do even more as John takes on more and more of the leadership responsibilities.

Prior to joining Christ-Life Ministries, John most recently owned and managed a real estate and development agency. He has over 15 years of management experience and has served on the board of his church and many non-profits. John has master’s degrees in both non-profit management and education. John and his wife, Meredith, have three children, Josiah (10), Ayla (8), and Levi (1).

John and I will serve, together, as Co-Executive Directors for the next couple of years in what, hopefully, will be a seamless transfer of leadership. Eventually, as John takes over all of the Executive Director responsibilities, Kathie and I will transition to part-time focusing on teaching turbos, mentoring leaders, and discipling individuals for as long as God enables us.

If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to reach out to John, Kathie or me.

In His Covenant Love,

Jim Hobson

Co-Executive Director

Join Us For Our Upcoming Phase 2 & Phase 3 Turbos

Whether you have already made it through all three Phases of The Ultimate Journey and are looking for a refresher or you still need to complete Phase 2 or Phase 3, the turbos are extremely powerful and will help give you the boost you need.

Phase 2 will address your lies at an even deeper level helping you to see yourself the way God sees you. During Phase 3, on a very practical level, you will learn to take those truths beyond just intellectual ascent to a place where they are internalized and become your new identity. When that happens, you will have an even greater understanding of what it means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind and be equipped to live out your God-given purpose.

Phase 2
April 1-2
(Tues/Wed)

The Phase 2 Turbo will help you discover God’s solution to your guilt, shame, fear, and anxiety. You will move beyond the hopelessness of never feeling good enough as you leave the treadmill of performance or addiction. You will walk away from these two days with a greater ability to trust God in every area of your life, which will enable you to draw everything you need from Him.

Phase 3
April 3-4
(Thurs/Fri)

During the Phase 3 Turbo, you will take the love of God beyond head knowledge into the reality of your everyday life. You will leave with new or updated personal Christ-In-Me and Christ-Through-Me Identity Statements that will help set you free from the issues/lies of your past and help to improve your relationships with the significant people in your life. You will take with you a personalized plan of how you will continue to renew your mind.

Times: The sessions will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day.

Cost: $100 for each Turbo

Phase 2- taught by Jim Hobson and John Selman

Phase 3- taught by Jim Hobson, Kathie Hobson and John Selman
