God has a dream, and you are in it.

We are summoning all who want to walk into the streams of the Holy Spirit's fierce love. Creative leaders, wounded soldiers, freedom seekers, millennial vagabonds, artists that don't belong, give nine months of focused attention to healing, rest, equipping, incubating, risk taking, releasing gifts, and stretching faith. Sanctify your restlessness. Become who you are. 

Stone to Flesh is a school where your heart will be crafted according to His image and purpose. It will form a tribe of people who dedicate themselves to the passionate pursuit of Jesus' heart. You will experience God deeply and the encounters with Him and others will heal and release your heart into new levels of trust and hope. A new rhythm of life, new community bonds, and reaching out to those who stay hungry for new beginnings will elevate your expectations on your walk toward wholeness. You will experience God's love in intimate and collaborative moments and you will be immersed in the supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit. 

The school's foundational character is Catholic but all Christians are welcome. 

We will awaken the giant through our obedience.

faith mentorship

Your prayer life and daily rhythm suffer because there is no support.

The direction of your spiritual path is based on you alone and can become confusing.

Your gifts go misunderstood and unused because there is no guidance or outlet
for your mission.

 
There are depths of God that I would have never known if it wouldn’t have been for this community, wounds that would have never healed, people I wouldn’t call my brothers and sisters. I am thankful for the opportunity to serve in this community and I can honestly say, I have found my tribe.
— Aldo Nava
Stone to Flesh has helped birth a profound peace within me and motivated me to cultivate an inner awareness of the indwelling presence of God. I’ve learned through the community how to abide and stay in His Presence through his Word.

Whereas discipline without discipleship leads to rigid formalism, discipleship without discipline ends in sentimental romanticism.

Read testimonies of School of the Heart alumni:

FROM POWER TO PRESENCE When I first heard about Stone to Flesh I was both skeptical and excited. I grew up Catholic Charismatic and had an ongoing conversion through my high school years. I learned about healing and used to follow many non-denominational and Catholic ministries that taught about prayer, Scriptures, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (…) However, over time as I continued to pursue ministry, I became weary and disheartened. I saw people pushing “ministry” in place of intimacy, “service” in place of rest, and “volunteerism” in place of discipleship and personal long term growth. The contradictions I saw were disheartening including within myself. I was a great hype man for ministry but saw there was something missing in me.

I HAD SAID YES TO GOD, AND NOT YES TO FITTING IN l lived in Australia as a NET missionary for over a year. Transitioning back home from NET Australia was difficult. (…) As I was learning and relearning what it meant to live a life surrendered to God through SOTH, I was becoming convicted that I didn’t trust the Lord. I hated knowing how little I trusted Jesus. The atmosphere of SOTH forced me to decide between my fear or the Lord, wounds or healing. By His Grace, I chose the Lord; I chose healing.

EMBRACING COMMUNITY When I joined the School of the Heart in 2017, I quickly began to feel at home. I knew that more than the palpable culture they had set and values they modeled, it was the Holy Spirit’s presence at Stone to Flesh that gave me peace. The Holy Spirit helped me to know I was where I was supposed to be.
