Ordinary people, ages 14 to 71, encountering the presence of God and walking in their extraordinary calling.
"CTF's discipleship intensive confronted my lukewarm Christianity and set me ablaze as someone who has a real, vibrant relationship with Christ. Before this intensive, I was timid about praying for people in my workplace. However, as a doctor, I now boldly spread the word of God and pray for my patients and others I encounter regularly!"

"This cohort tears down the lies you have been hearing about what God sees in you, so you can rediscover who you truly are in God's eyes. It lets you reimagine what you were called to do with your life to honor and glorify God with the gifts he has given you. It strengthens your faith and ability to trust God with your life."Heather, 56 · First Love Fire Cohort
"First Love Fire is an amazing journey to the heart of the Father. I have struggled all my life with freedom in Christ and walking in my true identity. Most people have made agreements about themselves without even knowing it, and those agreements become our truth. First Love Fire carries such a beautiful and tender journey through deeper understanding of the Father's heart for his kids. I have walked away with a deeper understanding and desire to walk out the destiny Jesus has for me. No more hiding, it's time to walk free and light!"Katy, 37 · First Love Fire Cohort
"There is now a peace about my past. Instead of shame there is gratefulness. He has transformed my eyes to see into others with hurt and a painful past they cannot shake either. The words and attention that has been given to me for others since the end of our 10 days has been like nothing I've ever experienced. It gives new and true meaning to the words “a new creation.” His words have come alive. I am loved. I am worthy. I am his. I am wanted and I belong."Anna · First Love Fire Cohort
"This 10-day rhythm of intentionally meeting dark and early at 5am was the exact spark my soul desperately needed to reignite a desire for communion and prayer with our Father in heaven. Each morning was an encouragement as we gathered in the Lord's name and invited His presence. He truly met us there as His word promises He does. This structured rhythm was a beautiful example of what discipleship should be in every believer's journey of faith."Casey, 36 · First Love Fire Cohort
"When I was asked if I'd be interested in CTF's discipleship intensive, I did not know what to expect, and honestly, I was a little nervous. However, it was one of the best choices I have ever made. The ladies in my group are extraordinary; they love me asking questions, teaching me to pray, and helping me grow in my walk with God. Through this experience, I have grown tremendously in my confidence as I am learning to see myself as Jesus sees me."Krystal, 47 · First Love Fire Cohort

My heart stirred with a growing conviction that the most important thing for my life was to be filled with His Spirit and know His voice. Two weeks later, my life and my family's lives were forever changed by what the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. I have firsthand experience that the kingdom of heaven is not far away, and those reaching out to take hold of it are experiencing it, individually and even more in community."Daniel, 38 · My Home. My First Ministry.
"This discipleship experience has helped me hear God's voice more and have a relationship that is growing closer to God.

"My life will never be the same because of my involvement with Carry The Fire. For 30 years, I struggled with offense and living in it. But during the 10 days of Carry The Fire, I received a revelation that broke those chains, freeing me to welcome community into my life. I am learning to walk in freedom, filled with mercy and love. What a miracle! This experience has been unlike anything I've ever had in my Christian walk, and I've been walking with Jesus for 40 years!"Julie, 48 · First Love Fire Cohort
"Through CTF's Discipleship Intensive, I was led to surrender my life to the Holy Spirit daily, and so then rapidly began experiencing the result of being more fully formed to be like Christ. I have been a Christian for over 30 years, but through this experience I began encountering Christ in a much bigger, richer, and deeper way than I ever have!"Warren, 70 · My Home. My First Ministry.
"Being part of this discipleship intensive has truly been life-changing. Through this experience, I've come to know Jesus deeper and more personally, fully surrendering my life to Him. This journey has transformed me into a more Godly man—strengthening me as a husband, a father, teacher and a leader. I've discovered a greater purpose for my life and now seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit daily. The people I have met through this group have been a powerful catalyst in aligning my life with God's will."Jake, 38 · First Love Fire Cohort

By being trained personally, then putting it into practice, I have been equipped to live out one of the most extraordinary callings of my life to make disciples!"Tesha, 45 · First Love Fire Cohort
"CFT Dipleship Intensive has connected me deeply to Jesus and a community that passionately pursues Jesus. I gained a community of people who love vulnerability, humility, and openness, which has deeply impacted my walk with God and others. This discipleship intensive has helped me learn to meditate on scripture and pray in the Spirit in community. It has also helped me understand how uniquely gifted each person is, showing me how God designed us to work and live together in unity and community."Trent, 19 · Consecrated Generation Cohort

"CTF's discipleship has transformed how I go about my everyday walk with Jesus. As a military man, I've known how to be confident in war, but have struggled to be confident in living on mission for the Lord. The early mornings with Carry The Fire have been amazing, and I've found myself having more confidence to go out and speak God's word, whereas in the past I did not feel adequate in my knowledge of the Scriptures."Mike, 45 · First Love Fire Cohort
"I had a deep desire for God but felt crippled and so far from Him. Through this discipleship intensive, my dim lit flame became increasingly stoked by the encouragement and vulnerability of brothers in Christ. I was taught how to pray, read Scripture, and have personal communion with the Holy Spirit. After four months, I was empowered to lead a discipleship group myself. The primary takeaway I gained was how simple discipleship is when the Holy Spirit leads."Dawson, 23 · First Love Fire Cohort
