“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
Our Mission
At The Nepsis Project, we believe human flourishing is central to God’s desire for His people. He calls us to experience life in its fullest abundance with Him.
Our mission is to restore lives impacted by emotional, sexual, and relational struggles. We seek to cultivate watchful hearts and renewed minds through the power of truth and grace, guiding individuals and communities to recover God-honoring Desire and live freely in the abundant life Jesus offers.
“Be sober-minded; be watchful.”
— 1 Peter 5:8
“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
— John 8:32
Our Aim
To provide theologically integrated education and training for pastors, missionaries, and Christian counselors both nationwide and internationally. We build up the church by equipping Christian leaders and enhancing their ability to walk with individuals struggling with sexual integrity, emotional health, and overall well-being.
To provide biblically sound coaching and workshops for groups and individuals struggling with unwanted sexual behavior, relational issues, and emotional problems to pursue a life of wholeness before God and others.
Utilizing The Nepsis Model we seek to help men and women recover God-Honoring Desire and resilient hope by utilizing practical tools, biblical truth and cultivating devotion to Jesus.
Our goal is lasting transformation - change that flows from a renewed mind and a rigorous, grace-filled walk with the Lord (Romans 12:2).
