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

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

Our turbo options are extremely powerful and will help give you the boost you need.

We have exciting news! All of The Ultimate Journey materials are now available digitally online through our new Online Portal. That includes audio-books and teaching videos for ALL THREE PHASES as well as PDF’s of the most current TUJ materials that you can read online or print.
Have you ever wanted to go back over those life transforming truths that impacted you when going through The Ultimate Journey (formerly The Christ-Life Solution) but couldn’t find the time to go back through it all? Now you can! With our new Online Portal, by simply listening to the audio-books while you go about your normal life activities, or by watching a powerful teaching video while sitting in the comfort of your home, those truths you learned will be reinforced and you will gain new insights to help you continue growing forward.
In the future, when new participants are registering for The Ultimate Journey, they will receive everything they need in a digital format through the Online Portal. While not necessary, after registering, participants will have the opportunity to purchase hard copies of the books for an additional $20 per book.
As our alumni, we want to make the Online Portal available to you! If you are a monthly donor, you have already been given access for free. If you are not currently a monthly donor, you can have free access by becoming a monthly donor, or by making a one-time minimum donation of $20 for each phase you want to access ($60 for all three phases). (Note: This special alumni offer is only for those phases you have already completed. If you have not completed a phase, you will need to go through the normal registration process for that phase.)
When making your donation, you must add this comment to the Notes Field “Phase X Online Portal” inserting the Phase number(s) you want in place of the X. If you don’t add this comment, we have no way of knowing you are wanting the Online Portal access so your donation will be treated as a general donation. Click here to make your donation and receive your free Online Portal access. When we process your donation, we will send you an email with instructions to reset your password and log in to the Online Portal (This could take up to 2 business days). Also, our new Online Portal requires email verification so you will receive an additional email asking you to verify your email address.
Your Online Portal access will remain open as long as you don’t opt out of our emails or jeopardize our status with email providers by not opening any of our correspondence for over six months. Emailing to inactive accounts causes email providers to classify our emails as spam and thereby block our emails to everyone.
We trust you will be blessed as you take advantage of this new tool and go back over those life transforming truths. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to email us at info@theultimatejourney.org or call our offices at (515) 251-6838.
Love and appreciate you!
Jim Hobson
