The Father Heart & Sonship

Healing the Orphan Spirit & Restoring Identity

8 Weeks4 Credits4 Modules4 Assessments

Course Overview

The father wound is the most common and most devastating wound a Soul Restorer will encounter. Whether the father was absent, abusive, distant, or simply broken himself, the impact on a child's identity is seismic. This course goes deep into both the wound and the cure — the revelation that God is not just Creator or Judge, but Father. You will learn to identify the orphan spirit (self-protection, performance, fear of rejection) and guide people into the freedom of sonship (security, rest, identity, inheritance).

Course Description
