Order out of Chaos with Dr. Jeffrey Garner has been so incredibly helpful. It's so valuable to have a voice speak into your situation (chaos). Jeff gives you tools and direction to draw out order and firm footed steps to heal and move onward. /this God centered mentoring program is rooted in God's love for us and his intentions for us to live His best life for us. Jeff and his love for people and their understanding of being God's beloved, drives his intentional and gentle guidance. I've made some solid decision already that is moving my family forward. I highly recommend this mentorship.

I am attending Dr. Jeffrey Garner's 3-year discipleship course, Way of the Beloved. It is the most powerful educational matrix that I have ever experienced. Lectio Divina, a sacred way of interpreting the Bible, is now a way of life for me, as is uncovering the meaning of meaning tucked deep in granular details of the Bible and other great works we are assigned to read. I am having the time of my life!

It has been nearly two decades since I took my first Talmidim (Discipleship) course from Jeffrey Garner. As a 40 year old educator and business owner, I have found it hard to find spiritual directors who take the time and lead with love. I have been nothing short of blessed by his Way of the Beloved course I am currently taking. His course, rooted in Lectio Divina, goes beyond sharing information and invites the student on an adventure of “listening to follow!

I have been participating in several months of “First Saturdays”. It's encouraging meeting that wraps you a blanket of the warmth and love of the Father! It's is completely free but with incredible worth! Let me talk a little bit about Dr. Jeffrey Garner. He has an earned doctorate, but it is the least of his best to offer, in my opinion. I love it when an education is an accessory to other things that matter more. His heart is teaching, and not just teaching but he communicates on another level, so profound yet simple. Every word is worthy, weighted, powerful, meaningful, deliberate, and well prepared. No rambling, rabbit trails, or boredom with him. In his mouth is kindness and his spirit, humility. s much as he wants to share his story or thought, he wants to hear yours. With excitement, he shares what he has found with just a simple and sincere hope that you are helped, healed, enlightened, or confirmed in what each participant may already know and believe.

Attending the Beloved Experience on the Isle of Patmos in June 2023 exceeded my expectations, and was worth the long trip.
I am 43 years old, have lived in Central Texas all my life. I've always considered myself to be a Christian, but it wasn't until recent years I made a decision to work on refining my faith. I was a bit intimidated at first, not knowing the Bible well, but after our first morning discussion/workshop the nervousness began to melt away. Deborah & Jeff were so patient to address my many questions, and it was enlightening learning from other's perspectives in the group too. The trip was not just workshop discussions. We toured all over the island, visited beaches, the Monastery, and the town square. It's mystical and surreal to know John walked the same footsteps we did on the island. If you're looking to expand your faith while seeking adventure and relaxation, you must attend the Beloved Disciple Experience.
