Does this sound familiar?

You are carrying more than you were built to carry alone.

Look around. Conflict is everywhere, and it is wearing people down. Stress that does not let up. Overwhelm at work and at home. Loneliness in a crowded life. Fear and anxiety that wake you at two in the morning. A heaviness that will not lift. A relationship in your family, your workplace, or your community that you do not know how to fix.

It shows up in your health, in your sleep, in your focus, and in the people closest to you, because the weight you carry comes home with you. And it shows up in your witness, because the people watching cannot tell the difference between your faith and your frustration.

Here is what I want you to know before you read one more line. You are not weak, and you are not failing. Nobody handed you the tools. God has a way to build peace in a whole person, and that way can be learned. I know, because I learned it in the worst season of my life.

Kirsten's story

My sister told me the truth. Then God taught me how to live.

Years ago I had four children under the age of six, a marriage that looked nothing like the one I had planned, and a home that was, to use the honest word, chaos. From the outside I portrayed the perfect life. Inside I was drowning.

My sister came to visit and saw the truth in one night. She said, "You don't have the perfect life and the perfect marriage like you portray. You've got major problems." And then she said the sentence that changed everything: "You need God in your life." She told me to find her a Bible-teaching church that weekend. I could drop her off, or I could go with her. After eighteen years of running from God, I went with her. I found the Father's love I had been searching for my whole life, and I found a peace I had never felt.

That was the beginning, not the end. A year later, after we had survived twelve months with no income and no insurance, our five-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. The doctors gave him less than a fifty percent chance of survival, even with a bone marrow transplant. Our other children were angry and jealous. My marriage was under a weight it could not carry. I was a brand-new believer, and everything I loved was on the line at once.

That is where God taught me the four words I have lived by ever since. Surrender. I laid my son on the altar the way Abraham laid down Isaac, and I told God he was His. Trust. I announced to family and friends, "My God does not work in percentages." Obey. I did what His Word said, one day at a time, even when I did not feel like obeying. Pray. On Christmas Day, alone at my son's bedside, I asked God to speak to me, opened my Bible, and read a story I had never read: a father begging Jesus to heal his son, and Jesus answering, "You may go, your son will live."

Thirteen days later the hospital sent our son home, the first child they had released so soon after a transplant. Within ten months he was off every medication. The doctors at Children's Hospital called him a miracle.

But here is the part that matters for you. God did not only heal my son. He healed me. In the middle of the conflict in my home, I found peace that did not depend on anyone else changing. He gave me comfort, and then He gave me the wisdom to understand and serve the people who were hardest to love. He showed me who I am in Christ, so their labels stopped deciding who I was. And He gave me the courage to speak the truth in love, so I could grow to be more like Him instead of hiding from every hard conversation.

The difficult people. The disappointments. The marriage that looked different than I planned. The leukemia. The rejection. The conflict. Those were the very things that matured me. And for more than twenty years since, I have walked hundreds of people through the same road, in their homes, their churches, and their companies. God's way still works, and God's way can be learned. That is what these eight weeks are: the tools to protect your peace, renew your mind, and handle the hardest conversations in your life with a strategy that brings resolution.

8 Weeks to Transformation and Peace

Five principles. One whole person.

We meet live on Zoom in a small group, once a week for eight weeks. Kirsten teaches one principle at a time, then the group works it into real life: your mind, your health, your walk with God, your home, and your work. You live each principle between calls. Here is what each principle does for you.

Protection You learn what has been stealing your peace, and how to guard your mind, your body, your relationship with God, and your work, so you stop living on alert and start living from rest.
Encouragement You change the mindset underneath your emotions and your behavior. Your thoughts shape your feelings, your feelings shape your actions, and your actions become your words. When your thinking changes, what comes out of you changes.
Acceptance You see yourself clearly, and then you see other people clearly: what they carry, how they see the world, and how God made them. You stop taking everything personally and start reaching people you could not reach before.
Contribution You get clear on what God has put in your hands: your time, your gifts, your resources, your health, and the people you influence. You learn to steward them without burning out or neglecting the ones who matter most.
Expression You get a strategy for the difficult conversation, and the exact words, so you are heard, the other person is honored, and the conversation ends in resolution instead of another round.
Your plan for peace You leave with a plan for your mind, your body, your relationships, and your work, and a community to walk it with you.
What you get

Everything you need for the eight weeks, and after.

Eight weeks of live online group coaching with Kirsten. One live call a week on Zoom. Small group. Real people. Real conversations about what is stealing your peace, and what to do next.
The PEACE modules. The teaching and the tools for each principle, yours to keep.
The Conversation Builder. The tool that builds the exact words for the conversation you have been avoiding, and shows you what the conflict reveals about you.
The PEACE community. The people who walked these eight weeks with you, and Kirsten, in a private group after the coaching ends.
After the eight weeks

PEACE Method certification, by application.

Certification to teach, train, and coach the PEACE Method is a separate step, open only to people who have completed the coaching. It carries Kirsten's name and her method, so it is by application, with its own training and its own investment. Graduates who want to help others with the method will be invited to apply.

Your investment in the eight weeks, the start date, and the call schedule are shared with accepted applicants.

Who this is for

This is for you if you are ready to stop carrying it alone.

The leader whose mind will not turn off. The parent who is worn down. The spouse who has gone quiet. The business owner whose health is paying for the business. The believer who is busy for God and far from Him. The pastor, the small group leader, the coach, the counselor, and the HR leader who keep getting pulled into other people's conflict and want tools that work. The person who is lonely, anxious, or overwhelmed and is done waiting for things to change on their own.

This is not for you if you want someone to agree that the other person is the whole problem. We will look at their part, and we will look at yours first, because your part is the only part you can change. And this is not a substitute for counseling, medical care, or crisis help. If you are in danger, please call 911.

How to join

Apply for the next group.

I keep each group small so every person gets heard. That is why this is an application and not a checkout. Tell me about you, your faith, your work, and what you want from these eight weeks. I read every application myself, and I reply to every one. If you are accepted, you get the start date, the call schedule, the investment, and the link to reserve your seat.

8 Weeks to Transformation and Peace

Kirsten reads every application herself. What you write is private and goes only to her. You will hear back from her, not an assistant.

Questions people ask

Before you decide.

Is this only about difficult relationships? No. Conflict is usually where the lack of peace shows first, but the coaching equips the whole person: your mind, your body, your relationship with God, and your work.

What if my difficult person will not change? They may not. This coaching is about you: your peace, your response, your courage, and your obedience. In my experience the other person often changes when you do, but the peace you find does not depend on that.

I am not sure where I stand with God. Can I still join? Yes. This is a Christ-centered program built on God's Word, and you do not have to have everything figured out to start. You need to be willing.

What happens on the weekly calls? Kirsten teaches the week's principle, then the group works it into real life together on Zoom. You share what you are comfortable sharing. Nobody is put on the spot.

How much time does this take each week? One live call, the module for that principle, and the step you take in your own life. Plan on two to three hours a week for eight weeks.

Can I get certified to teach the PEACE Method? Certification is a separate step after the eight weeks, by application, with its own training and investment. Finishing the coaching is the first requirement.

Is this counseling? No. This is coaching and discipleship built on the Bible. If you need a licensed counselor, medical care, or crisis help, Kirsten will say so and help you find that help.
