Many of us are disconnected in our relationships with God, ourselves, and others. Trueface provides content, relational experiences, and leader development to help people and teams live authentically and experience freedom. Today’s culture is perfecting the art and science of creating masks. Behind these masks, people are dying inside. Trueface is here to change that. Trueface equips people to experience the freedom of living beyond the mask. When we increase trust in our relationships, we are able to experience being more authentically known and loved by God and others. We hope to be a bridge for hundreds of thousands of people to experience the peace and freedom of the original good news by trusting God and others with their whole selves. Trueface offers… -Free resources -Books & studies -Group experiences Just to name a few! Today, Trueface is recognized as an international resource for helping people and teams experience authentic relationships with God, themselves, and others. It is our prayer to see a world transformed by followers of Jesus experiencing the freedom of living authentically. Too many Christians carry an old, dead outlook of God and self. They try to measure up to a standard that they create. They read his words through their grid of shame and feel like they are falling behind. They try harder, but something seems to be missing. The solution is different than people assume. Trusting God with who he says we are unlocks the grace that allows us to live in the peace and freedom of the original good news! This changes everything. CHECK OUT THE TRUEFACE JOURNEY!! Jesus established a master plan of evangelism through relational discipleship. Most churches, however, struggle to grasp this original plan. They want to fulfill the great commission and make disciples, but they don’t know how. After synthesizing best practices from hundreds of leaders discipling thousands of participants around the country, Trueface developed a plan to equip people to intentionally pour their cup into 6-8 people at a time. This proven framework is customizable and being implemented by churches, organizations, and individuals across the country.
