What students are saying...
From looking at God's view of rest, to growing in self-awareness in many areas that affect my ability to truly rest in God, to learning practical steps that can be taken throughout the day to remain in Jesus' rest, there are so many ways that this class has helped me. The material is very well thought through, with breadth and depth and also helpful as a reference for the future.
Alison
This class was very insightful & provided many opportunities for good reflection on God, His word & rest. I came away with lots of helpful tools and a renewed perspective on soul rest.
Melika
This class has helped me identify areas in my life that keep me from resting fully in the Lord and given me some tools to help me overcome these obstacles. I highly recommend it to anyone noticing a need for more rest in their lives.

About The Course Creator,
Duke Dillard
I'm Duke Dillard and January 2020 marked 25 years of marriage for Laurie and me. In that time we have had seven children and lived in four countries serving in full-time ministry for most of it.
I gave my life to Jesus as a boy and have always been serious about my faith. However, for much of my life I was legalistic and critical of those around me. I knew I fell short and was desperate to please God. For many years I thought that pointing out everyone else's faults would help me. It didn't!
I went through a time of doubting during my university years that followed me to Los Angeles and my public school teaching job through Teach for America. By God's grace I found a good church but was living a double life with one foot in the church and one in a willfully sinful lifestyle.
Then I heard a message that changed everything for me and sent me on a path overseas. At the same time I met Laurie, and we married before moving. Deep down I thought serving overseas would fill the emptiness I felt and make me feel worthy. It didn't.
Instead God used many painful events to break me down and show me beyond the shadow of a doubt that I was helpless without Him, nobody needed Jesus more than I, He loved me deeply, rest and joy were abundantly available in Him and much more. Although I can put that in one sentence, it took many years to learn it, and in many ways, I am still at the beginning stages of learning it.
However, we did learn a few things and were exposed to many helpful tools, mental models, fruitful practices, effective teaching, amazing people, and powerful experiences. Putting all of this together I realized that we had something that had helped us and could help others as well.
Around this time (2017) I noticed with new eyes that many of the people I knew loved Jesus but were not experiencing His promises of rest, full life, and joy. Realizing that I could help, I started gathering what I had learned and developed a course.
The first people to take the course had similar experiences to my own. As I expanded the course, I kept getting the same results. Realizing that I didn't have the capacity to teach everyone who would benefit, I have made it available online.
COMPARISONS: WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
You are seriously considering the FOCUSTSOUL ONLINE COURSE but are wondering what else is out there. Should you bite the bullet? You do have options. Here is what I have found:
1
SPIRITUAL FORMATION PROGRAM W/COHORTS
(or similar)
These are multi-year programs with a few resident stays (travel to a meeting place for a week). In between you hear lectures, read, write papers, and meet in cohorts. It is excellent and transformational. I highly recommend it. You will get a lot more than in the FOCUSTSOUL COURSE.
The cost is up to $5000 plus travel and other expenses.
2
COACH/MENTOR
Hire a coach or mentor or gather a group to meet regularly and read books and listen to sermons and lectures online.
Record and practice what you learn. You can also take cheap online courses available on sites like Udemy.
This can also be powerful or a waste of time. Hard to know beforehand. Fortunately, it can be done alongside the FOCUSTSOUL COURSE.
Cost varies.
3
SEMINARY
Take classes at a seminary or maybe your church offers classes on soul care and spiritual formation.
This may cover much of what we do but usually tends to be more academic and bring about less change due to a lack of accountability as well as the disjointed nature of doing it piecemeal.
Costs anywhere from free to thousands of dollars
OR
You can take the FOCUSTSOUL ONLINE COURSE and get an all-in-one experience covering theology, science, personality studies, psychology, and spiritual formation practices, as well as soul assessment tools and opportunities for ongoing accountability and interaction.

Thank you for considering the FOCUSTSOUL ONLINE COURSE.
I think it is the best value available anywhere (no bias here!).
Will you join the thousands who have gone before you in putting these principles into practice and seeing the fruit of deeper intimacy with Jesus through a lifestyle of abiding?
Will it solve all your problems? Of course not! But you will find yourself approaching each day differently. Gradually you will see signs of transformation. Chances are those around you will see the changes before you do.
I look forward to meeting you virtually and praying for you as you experience what God has for you at this time.
