Personal Details

Bio

We strive to educate and encourage people to be intentional in their relationship with God, self, and others. In the family, with friendships and in the workplace. We desire to help educators RISE in effectiveness, businesses RISE in potential, families RISE in strength, children RISE in destiny, and women RISE in unity. We are followers of Jesus and want to see Christians RISE above judgment, fear, & superficial relationships and RISE in love.

Missy's primary passion in life is to hand out hope to those who find themselves with a shortage. As a mental health therapist, she is a straightforward communicator who can share her uncommon perspective in a way that allows others to RISE above their difficulties to seek hope, reconciliation, healing and growth. Missy is motivated by the practical avenues of her Christian faith which she believes is the call to be present with people in all circumstances while being genuinely interested in how those circumstances affect their hearts.

Greeta's heart's desire is to live out her life in a way that honors the transformation she has experienced through grief after losing her infant son. She shares from a place of rawness and determination to RISE above life's circumstances and see God for who He really is. Greeta has traveled this road from death to life and is willing to walk with those who God places in her path. She strongly believes this place of divine friendship with our Creator is available for all and makes a difference in all we do.

Boundaries

We all benefit from the physical boundaries of lanes on the highway, the fences that mark our yards, the walls that divide rooms in our homes. Physical boundaries are useful, practical, and very much needed.

The same is true for emotional boundaries. However, these boundaries often get crossed or misunderstood. We must learn to draw invisible lines so that others can see them clearly.

Missy and Greeta are excellent teachers, who will guide you through the ten laws of boundaries to help you establish healthy boundaries for yourself that can transform your relationships.

Conflict Connection

Greeta and Missy explore the idea that resolving conflict is more about relational dynamics than differing ideas or opinions.

Wouldn't it be nice to go through your days with students, coworkers, and administration without the power struggles? Learn how to create a conflict deficit by preemptively dissolving and avoiding it through relational means.

This presentation will give you practical tools for relating to others in collaborative ways, which prove that in conflict, the issue is rarely the issue--and the answer is always connection.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

Spiritual maturity is not possible without emotional maturity.

Emotionally healthy spirituality helps us identify those emotions that affect the depth and growth in our faith. Recognizing and healing the unhealthy emotional pieces of ourselves invites God into the deepest parts of our being so that we can live out a Relevant Faith.

Inspired by Peter Scazzero's best-seller Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.

RESET

We’ve seen what happens when screens become our deepest connection with the world. We’ve witnessed the destruction of relationships through social media. We’ve watched playful childhoods deteriorate into emotional minefields.

We understand. We care.

This workshop is designed to walk parents, guardians, and educators through RESETing their children’s relationship with technology by acknowledging the effects of too much screen time based on the expertise of licensed social worker and mother Missy Nicholas and giving practical advice on how to take action from Greeta Russell, a mother with a background in education and youth ministry.

It’s time for us to RESET our minds to love people and use technology, not vice versa.

Nothing Wasted

In this session, Greeta will invite you to explore even the most painful parts of your life and begin to see them through God's eyes and through the redemption of Christ. We all have a story. And if all things work together for good, then maybe we need to learn to embrace "all things" and to redefine "good" through the heart of our Creator.
