Walking with Jesus is not simply a course about spiritual growth, it is an invitation into a real, daily relationship with Jesus.

Many believers know about Jesus, attend church, and try to live good lives, yet still feel disconnected from the vibrant life we see in Scripture. The disciples didn’t just learn about Jesus, they walked with Him. They listened to His voice, experienced His presence, and followed Him in faith.

This journey is designed to help you step into that same kind of life.

Throughout this course, you will learn how to live aware of God’s presence, hear His voice, walk in faith, and follow His leadership in everyday moments. Instead of striving to become a “better Christian,” you will learn how to live from intimacy with Christ, where transformation naturally flows.

As you walk through this series, you will discover that Jesus is not distant or theoretical. He is present, personal, and inviting you into a life of friendship, faith, and purpose.

This journey is about learning to behold Him, trust Him, and follow Him... one step at a time.

We are honored to walk with you,

Pastors Drew and Melissa

Pastor Drew East

Drew has served in ministry for more than twenty years in roles including Youth, Worship, Care, Prayer, Freedom, and Associate Pastor. During his ten years at illuminate church, he pioneered a Freedom Coaching model that reshaped the pastoral care culture of the church. This training equipped Holy Spirit-led leaders to walk people through Biblical healing, freedom, deliverance, identity restoration, and spiritual breakthrough.

Freedom Coaches were trained to guide people directly to Jesus, the true Healer. This approach multiplied healthy leaders, reduced pastoral burnout, and created a culture of freedom that brought transformation to the church from the inside out.
