 * You Were Meant for More.
   But the paradox of spiritual growth is that it is much more about subtraction
   than addition. It's growth that is uncovered by stripping away beliefs that
   limit and behaviors that obscure who we’re meant to be and already are
   underneath. Our spiritual growth fuels all other personal, even professional,
   growth; so learning to embrace the paradox is key to it all.

   Daring to Think Again






- THE SHAPE OF THE JOURNEY -

TS Eliot wrote that the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we
started and know the place for the first time. Back in black and white Kansas,
Dorothy realizes if her heart’s desire isn’t in her own backyard, she never lost
it to begin with. That’s it. We only take the journey to learn we didn’t have
to.

The person you are meant to be is already standing inside you right here and
now. The journey simply strips everything away that is not who you really are.
And that happens naturally as you travel through four primary landscapes:
healing, learning, mentoring, and serving. Service is what you make of it, but
we can help with the other three…



HEALING


COUNSELING AND RECOVERY SERVICES

Are we ever fully healed? Healing is a lifelong process, but being healed enough
to bring our lives into a manageable state is the foundation for any further
growth. If you want to teach a starving person, you feed him first. If you want
to grow spiritually and personally, there has to be enough emotional and
relational stability to take first steps.

If you’re wondering why things don’t seem to get better, if relationships remain
difficult or out of reach, if there’s grief, substance abuse, depression or
other active issues you’re facing, there is groundwork to be done that therapy
or recovery counseling can assist. Sometimes finances, employment, or parenting
and other relational issues need to be addressed with life skills coaching and
counseling. In an initial call we can establish a connection and a plan forward
with counselors or therapists from our staff or your local area.

MENTORING


COACHING AND SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

No one takes this journey alone. Spirituality is by definition a
relationship—with God, Higher Power, each other. The interaction between us in
community and one on one is the whole point and process. But just as being alone
is limiting, the beliefs of certain groups or churches can limit as well.

This is where the spiritual director comes in–the coach who can help grant
permission to think outside the limits and begin the process of living the
paradoxical spiritual relationship in a way that can be modeled and practiced.
It’s always been done this way between humans and just because we now have
instant access to the world’s wisdom, we are not exempt from one on one
connection as the basis of our journey. When the student is ready, the teacher
appears. When healing has established a foundation and the student has learned
enough to know he or she now needs to engage in an entirely different way, a
relationship with the right teacher can make all the difference.

LEARNING


LISTENING, DISCUSSING, READING

Learning should be continuous through life. Learning informs the healing process
and precedes and continues through and beyond mentoring. But the amount of
information available today is so vast and varied--where to turn for the right
resources and materials?

Just having someone who’s plowed a row or two ahead can narrow the field and
point out the main holes that need filling. In terms of distance learning, we
have podcasts, blogs, vlogs, books and audio below. At theeffect website, you
can find suggested reading lists, articles, links, an archive of recorded
messages and classes. If you’re local, you can attend live weekly sessions or
stream if you’re not. Click and see.

JUDGING NOT

When Jesus says do not judge so you won’t be judged, that your way of judging
will be used on you, we modern Westerners hear that in predictable ways. First,
we think of judging in the sense of condemning or […]

THE FIFTH WAY


A WESTERN JOURNEY TO THE HEBREW HEART OF JESUS

When Jesus of Nazareth presented his view of God and life, he did so in a deeply
ancient and Eastern way. A way completely unlike the four ways we normally
approach life--a Fifth Way. Deep inside our Western world views, there is a
difficult intellectual and emotional way to the Way that must be negotiated
first. A jarring movement from West to East that brings us only to the starting
point, to the gate of the Way to the freedom Jesus promises.




THE LORD’S PRAYER


LIVING THE ARAMAIC WORDS

The most well-known prayer in Christianity has become a fixture in Western
culture as well; but do we have any idea what it means? Until we peek under the
veneer of translation and see the Hebrew intent underneath, we'll never
understand that this model prayer was never intended to be read or recited, but
to be lived. When understood from an Aramaic point of view, the five lines of
the prayer jump out as a reordering of the attitude, process, and priority of
our daily moments and form the basis of Jesus' one and only Way to the Father.




THE BEATITUDES


AN ARAMAIC PORTRAIT OF JESUS

Haven't you often wondered what Jesus looked like? We are sometimes frustrated
that there is no description of him in the Gospels. But this is not so; there is
a detailed description of Jesus in the book of Matthew. The first lines of the
Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, paint a detailed picture. And if we want to
know what Jesus “looked” like, what it was like to walk and live with him, we
just need to understand these sayings from an Aramaic point of view. Because if
Jesus was not the model for the Kingdom-person he describes, who is?




THE TWELVE STEPS


AND THE WAY OF JESUS

While it's obvious why someone recovering from alcohol or drug addiction would
need the Twelve Steps of AA, it's not as obvious why they would be relevant to
anyone else. Truth is: we're all recovering from something... Very few of us are
so healed that the Twelve Steps don't have something vital to teach. This tour
through the Twelve Steps considers each step, not from the viewpoint of alcohol
and substance abuse recovery, but from its most open and spiritual
application—one that Jesus articulated two millennia ago, yet still applies to
each of us today.




THE JAMES BOOK


THE WISDOM OF JESUS’ BROTHER

Did you know Jesus had a brother? Called ``the Just`` by the earliest followers
of Jesus, James led the Jerusalem church for the first thirty years after the
crucifixion, was the pillar of the Eastern Church and yet is relatively unknown
in the West. As one of the most Jewish books of the New Testament, James gives
us a uniquely clear view into the teachings of Jesus. Looking through Hebrew
eyes, we see how James taught and led his brother's followers through those
first difficult decades of misunderstanding and persecution from both Jewish and
Roman worlds.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT US”

“Reading The Fifth Way is like spending time with the author, Dave Brisbin, who
has a gift of making simple the complicated religious mess we have collectively
made of Christianity."

CHRIS FALSON, SINGER/SONGWRITER/COMPOSER, AUTHOR

If I was not 3000 miles away, I'd be your man. I've have laid off sharing my
"Daveisms" with others to a point. A friend coined the phrase, "Pastor crush" to
describe this certain condition.

DON M, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT

I can’t begin to thank you for being an internet angel! My daughter will be 60
days clean, tomorrow, and one of her biggest motivators is going to your Tuesday
night gathering and meeting and to your Sunday meeting.

ORLA M, FULLERTON, CA

In searching for a way to reconstruct my faith, I listened to a podcast that
referenced your book at the end, and as I searched for it I found your website.
It helped me validate that the compassionate love I feel from my savior is real.

NINA P, PHOENIX, AZ

I live in Arizona, and I have been listening to your sermons for over a year.
Your message is profound because it speaks of such a deeper truth than what most
churches expound. Thank you for your honest, vulnerable and authentic work.

BECKY J, PHD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Almost immediately, I was struck by the sense that the Holy Spirit had brought
you and your book along, and my growth has continued at a meaningful pace as I
have made my way through your book. I am absolutely blown away. It has directly
touched on some powerful truths.

BILL G, BASEHOR, KS

Several months ago, I listened to one of your messages. A whole new door opened
up for me after listening to that first one. Your messages have allowed me to
see things in a different way than I was looking at them. They helped me in my
relationship with God, my wife and children.

RALPH S, WAUSAU, WI

“Dave and I met briefly at year twenty in my Christian journey and now our lives
have merged again at an important crossroads, not just for ourselves but for the
entire global community. Dave proposes a Fifth Way; for what it’s worth, I think
he’s right.”

GRAHAM KERR, AUTHOR AND FORMER MEDIA PERSON (GALLOPING GOURMET)

"Of all the books in the Christian marketplace today why should you read this
one? To renew your mind, refresh your heart, and restore your soul.”
