how it works

when help stops short of the root

You may have tried therapy, medication, or a new method, and the same pain keeps coming back. Most help reaches one part of you. Bride Ministries Coaching brings all of you to Jesus.

Bride Ministries Coaching approach

body, soul, and spirit, through Jesus

the human design

body, soul, heart, and spirit

God made each person body, soul (conscious), and spirit (superconscious), and the heart (subconscious) is where the three meet.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

body

The body is the physical being that experiences the natural world.

soul

The soul is the presenting consciousness with which you live out the majority of your life.

heart

The interface point between the body, soul, and spirit. This is the seat of the self-conscious.

spirit

We believe the spirit is made in the image of God. It is the superconscious part of you.

  • soulconscious
  • heartsubconscious
  • spiritsuperconscious

we all run programs

Decision-making is not just a function of willpower. The heart has its own belief system, independent from the beliefs of the soul and presenting consciousness. We call these belief systems “programs.” Programs run at a subconscious level and are often the guiding influence that determines the outcome of our lives.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7, KJV

There are three ways to program the heart.

  • 1 · repetition

    writes a little at a time

    The way a habit forms. What you hear and do again and again settles into the heart.

  • 2 · revelation

    writes fast

    When truth from Jesus meets you, the heart can change in a moment.

  • 3 · trauma

    writes by force

    Pain can leave parts of you holding fear and lies about yourself and God.

other methods

approaches you may have tried

Explore how the approach of Bride Ministries Coaching differs from other methods.

talk therapy

reaches the soul

what it is

A licensed counselor helps you talk through your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Sessions often meet weekly for months. Common types include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

what’s the truth

Therapy works with the soul (your mind, will, and emotions). It can bring real insight, but it stops short of the heart. That’s how a person can understand their pain and still feel stuck.

psychiatric care

reaches the body

what it is

A psychiatrist or another doctor treats anxiety, depression, paranoia, schizophrenia, poor sleep, and more. Most care uses medication, often for years.

what’s the truth

Medication works on the chemistry of the body. It can ease symptoms, and sometimes it’s necessary. That choice belongs to you and your doctor. Medication doesn’t reach the wounds of the soul or the spirit.

Please don’t stop or change any medication on your own. Talk with your prescribing doctor.

life coaching

reaches your choices

what it is

A life coach helps you set goals, make plans, and follow through. Life coaching needs no license. It uses no prayer and does not invite Jesus in.

what’s the truth

Life coaching offers accountability for your conscious choices and plans. The heart and the spirit sit deeper than both. Accountability alone can’t reach the programs that run in the subconscious. If your issues can be solved by life coaching alone, you don’t need Bride Ministries Coaching.

psychedelics

Psychedelics open a gate to the spirit world WITHOUT Jesus

what it is

Psychedelics are mind-altering drugs such as psilocybin, ketamine, and ayahuasca. Some clinics give them under medical care. Retreats often give them with a guide or a shaman. People take them hoping for a breakthrough.

what’s the truth

Psychedelics open a door to the spirit world while your guard is down. This opens a door to demonic attack and spiritual oppression.

On a podcast, the host warned that with psychedelics “you’re forfeiting the protection of Holy Spirit.” Apostle Daniel Duval answered, “Yeah, yeah, very dangerous.”

energy work

Healing by evil spirits

what it is

Energy work includes Reiki, crystal healing, and similar practices. A practitioner claims to move or balance an unseen energy in your body.

what’s the truth

Energy work seeks supernatural healing through demonic means without the finished work of Jesus Christ. We believe that spirit energy work operates on addition and subtraction. They may heal you in one way but bind you in another.

Apostle Daniel Duval warns, “while you may be seeing more results, you’re also going into more bondage. You’re opening doors with legal access and rights.”

Bride Ministries Coaching

body, soul, and spirit, through Jesus

Our distinct approach to resolving trauma is rooted in the revelation of human design. God made each person body, soul (conscious), and spirit (superconscious), and the heart (subconscious) is where the three meet.

Trauma response overrides the conscious mind, which is why willpower doesn’t work.

Willpower sits in the conscious mind, but most decisions are made at the subconscious level. Trauma creates a disconnect between the two—this is why behavioral modification techniques often fail and presenting issues can remain after years of real effort.

This is the fundamental structure upon which our prayer strategy and coaching practice are built. This is what makes Bride Ministries Coaching unique amidst other approaches to resolving trauma.

a session

one session, start to finish

Work with a trusted prayer coach. Their training and expertise equip them to walk beside you in your most vulnerable moments.

  1. 1

    one coach, online

    You meet one-on-one with your coach by secure video. You need a computer or tablet with a camera and a quiet, private place.

  2. 2

    one to two hours

    Each session opens and closes in prayer and runs one to two hours, with room for what surfaces.

  3. 3

    between sessions

    Your coach gives you prayers to use at home, so the work keeps going.

Every coach completes a rigorous training program at the School of Inner Healing and Deliverance. Before joining the platform, each coach completes 250 hours of coaching. Coaches train across a wide range of presenting issues, including complex trauma. They keep learning through ongoing education. Our confidence is in Jesus and the method, not in any one person.

what we measure

    Ninety-five percent of clients would recommend their coach.

  • We’re expanding how we measure, so we can show you more over time.

the teacher behind the method

Apostle Daniel Duval

Apostle Daniel Duval

He developed the coaching method every coach uses. His groundbreaking methods use biblical framework, prayer strategy, and the finished work of Jesus Christ. This approach brings hope and healing for situations that the world has deemed untreatable.

Heard Apostle Daniel on Discovering Truth with Dan Duval or as a guest on another show and wondering if the topics he speaks on might apply to you? Start the assessment

  1. 1

    how God made you

    “We are triune beings whose body, soul, and spirit each possess their own mind, will, emotions, and memories.”

  2. 2

    why knowing isn’t enough

    “Many believers give mental assent to sound theological concepts and biblical truth, yet have not allowed that truth to confront the lie-based and trauma-informed conclusions they hold about themselves and God in their hearts. The result is a performance-based Christianity that leaves them feeling disingenuous.”

  3. 3

    the finished work of Jesus

    “Legal attacks are avoidable because the legal basis for the attacks can be addressed at any time by the power of the finished work of Jesus Christ.”
