“Through the sabbatical coaching and the sabbatical process provided by Ellen, God renewed his deep love for me…My relationship with God as a deeply loved person became the renewed foundation for living. This in turn has given me a freedom to simply love people with the overflow of the love I've received from God. This also simplified my focus of "ministry" to that of helping people enter into the loving relationship  shared between the Father, Son and Spirit into order that they might in turn love others, not out of duty, but out of the overflow of their experience of God's love. I came out of sabbatical with a sense of freedom to live out of this love and not out of the expectations and demands of the church culture.”

“Each time we meet, I walk away with a question to process and further reflect upon. In the end, I feel listened to. I feel heard. I feel seen and cared for…and I see God using Ellen to further my journey with Him.”

-Stephanie, Global Worker

“The prayer and reflection resources Ellen provided during my Sabbatical were phenomenal! I frequently found the Spirit leading me to think of a new question as I was working through a question in an exercise, only to find the next question Ellen had written was exactly that same question the Spirit was leading me to. I was amazed at how in sync the resources were with my own heart and the Spirit. God definitely used the retreats and other prayer and reflection exercises provided to speak to my wife and me and to draw us deeper into knowledge of Him and ourselves.”

— D.S., Missionary Care

“For many years I have felt alone with nobody I thought I could trust with the struggles in my life. As a pastor’s wife, there are many things I learned to keep hidden. Thanks to Ellen and Cultivate, I have opened up again. I’ve stopped hiding much of the pain that kept me trapped for many years, and now I have relationships with other pastors’ wives that have been truly beneficial.”
