Does your calling feel harder than it used to?
You’ve poured your life into people — sermons, counseling, hospital visits, late-night phone calls.
You see hearts stirred, prayers lifted… yet too often the same struggles circle back again.
You wonder quietly if you’re missing something — if transformation was meant to be deeper, faster, more complete.
You’re not failing your people.
You’ve simply been missing tools that reach the root of change.
WHY Pastors Need this
Pastors carry enormous emotional and spiritual weight.
The constant swirl of sermons, counseling, meetings, and family demands can drain even the strongest leader—leaving you weary, questioning your impact, and wondering if you’re still called to this work.
This 3 day in-person training gives you tools to reset — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — so you can lead from a place of strength again.
Practical, Faith-Aligned
tools for real transformation
Impact Seminars & Workshops, led by Chuck Hendrix, equips pastors and ministry leaders with tools that renew both purpose and peace.
His training is grounded in biblical principles of renewing the mind and gaining emotional freedom and be free of strongholds. This seminar introduces Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a framework of tools and techniques that will give you greater understanding how God designed the mind to align with grace & truth.
You’ll learn to:
Recognize and redirect patterns that keep people stuck
Guide conversations that create breakthrough instead of burnout
Restore clarity and confidence in your own calling
Integrate faith and practical psychology without compromise
Consider how these shifts will improve your ministry

Transformations
Attendees describe a renewed sense of energy and ease in ministry.
Stevie Baylock
Youth Pastor
“NLP has been very beneficial for me because I was able to breakdown some walls that use to hold me back. It also allowed me to get rid of hidden emotions that we tend to bury as pastors and discover emotional freedom. This has allowed me to have more fire stirring for ministry and engage people with more confidence.”
Renee Hahn
"Chuck Hendrix has been the best for NLP!"
Theresa Barnes
Women's Discipleship Minister
“I didn’t realize how much emotional weight I’d been carrying until this program helped me release it. The breakthroughs were real, practical, and immediate. This wasn’t theory—this was transformation, and it’s already impacting my ministry, my family, and my mindset. What impressed me most was how simple and powerful the tools were. I felt seen, supported, and guided through changes that I had tried to make for years. If you’re serious about growth—personally or professionally—this is the step you’ve been looking for.”
Jut Darron
Lead Pastor
“Pastors carry everyone else’s emotions, but who pastors the pastor? NLP gave me tools to release what I had buried for years so I could show up fresh, present, and emotionally healthy for my congregation and family.”
Caitlyn Gutierrez
Professional Counselor
"Your training was life changing for me, provided me with a new perspective, and gave me a new outlook on life. I truly see the world through a different lens and am more open to the endless possibilities that are out there."

Renewing the Mind — In Action
As pastors, we already know transformation begins in the mind. Scripture calls us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) and to “take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
These tools simply help people apply those verses in everyday life — identifying thought patterns that no longer serve truth and replacing them with what God says is real.
It’s a way to guide people gently toward peace and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), using practical steps that agree with what God has already said is true.
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” — Isaiah 26:3

Is Functional NLP a certification-level training?
Functional NLP is not a certification program — and that’s intentional.
It was created as a practical, immediately-usable skill training for pastors, therapists, coaches, and other heart-centered professionals who want tools that make a real difference in their work and personal lives.
Rather than focusing on exams or credentials, Functional NLP is designed to help you:
✦ Understand how people think, process, and change
✦ Lead conversations that bring clarity and calm
✦ Resolve internal and relational conflicts more effectively
✦ Support deeper transformation in the people you serve
Many participants describe it as the missing skill set they wish they’ve had years earlier — simple, powerful tools they can apply the same day in counseling, ministry, or everyday communication.
If you’re looking for a full certification, we offer a 7-day NLP Certification training separately. But if your goal is to become more effective, grounded, and confident in the work you already do, Functional NLP is the perfect place to start.
Who is Functional NLP designed for?
Functional NLP is for heart-centered professionals who spend their lives serving others — pastors, counselors, therapists, coaches, chaplains, and those in helping professions. If your calling requires strong communication, emotional presence, and the ability to help people move forward, this training was created with you in mind.
Do I need any prior experience with NLP or therapy tools?
No experience is required. Everything is taught from the ground up in a simple, practical, and very hands-on way. Whether you’re brand new to NLP or have studied other communication or counseling models, you’ll be able to use these tools right away.
How is Functional NLP different from traditional NLP trainings?
Traditional NLP trainings often focus on advanced techniques or certification pathways. Functional NLP takes a different approach — it equips you with the core skills that actually make day-to-day communication, counseling, and leadership easier. It’s practical, faith-friendly, deeply relational, and designed to support the work you already do.
How will this help me in ministry, counseling, or my profession?
You'll learn practical, repeatable techniques you can use to help people shift their emotional state, release the weight of past experiences, and regain control over how they feel and respond-often in just minutes. These tools work at the level where habits, reactions, confidence, fear, and motivation are actually formed.
This translates into:
✦ Helping people move out of anxiety, anger, guilt, or discouragement and into calmer, healthier emotional states quickly
✦ Guiding someone to disconnect emotional pain from past memories so those memories no longer control their present
✦ Strengthening confidence, peace, and focus by intentionally activating resourceful emotional states
✦ Helping people change how intense or overwhelming a thought, memory, or temptation feels
✦ Teaching practical ways to regulate emotions instead of being ruled by them
These are hands-on tools you can use in the moment-during pastoral care, counseling sessions, coaching conversations, leadership stress, or even in your own personal life.
Most participants report experiencing noticeable internal shifts the first day they apply these techniques.
What makes this training faith-friendly?
Functional NLP honors your values and your calling. The tools support spiritual growth, emotional renewal, and personal transformation without replacing or competing with your faith. Many pastors share that Functional NLP helps them communicate truth more clearly, shepherd people more effectively, and experience greater confidence.
Is this psychological or spiritual? How does it integrate with my beliefs?
Functional NLP works with the way God designed the mind to process information, emotion, and meaning. It’s simply a set of communication and mindset tools — not a belief system. Many participants describe it as “the missing link” that helps them understand why people respond the way they do and how to guide them gently toward clarity and healing.
What is the format of the training?
The training includes a blend of short teaching segments, live demonstrations, guided exercises, and real practice in pairs or small groups. There are breaks throughout the day, time for questions, and plenty of space to digest and apply what you’re learning. This is an interactive, high-support experience — not a lecture marathon.
What if I can only attend part of the training?
Because Functional NLP builds progressively, full attendance is strongly recommended. Each tool builds on the last, and participation ensures you get the transformation and confidence the training is designed to deliver.
What is your refund policy?
Because this training reserves a seat in a limited-capacity event, all registrations are non-refundable.
We encourage you to double-check your schedule before registering and reach out with any questions — we want you to feel fully confident about your decision to attend.
