Welcome tothe Freedom
Coaching Circle:
For women
who sense there's more
to knowing God
than what they've experienced so far...
A gentle, sacred space
to hear His voice - together!
Not a course.
Not a mastermind.
A private, intentional community for women...
Why do women continue
year after year?
In a world of fleeting online communities and passive memberships,
the Freedom Coaching Circle is something rarer:
a place where women come to be encouraged,
be challenged, and grow — hearing God - together, year after year!
"The Freedom Coaching Circle is a greenhouse
for connecting with God’s thoughts,
finding new friendships,
having a support system
for challenging times,
and the honour to listen in prayer for others.
It’s a safe place
where we encourage each other
to come up higher.
It’s a playground where lies are broken off."
“Are you tired? Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me
and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
- Matt 11:28-30 The Message

Women,
Are you looking for your tribe?
We are a growing community of women...
via zoom around the world...
who are hungry to hear God...
and see Him transform our circles!
"The Lord is the Spirit,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom." - 2 Cor. 3:17
Dear sister,
Maybe you've sought to be faithful for years — showing up, serving, doing all the "right" things — and yet something inside you quietly wonders:
Is this all there is?
Maybe you feel a little alone in your faith. Like the intimacy with God you read about in Scripture feels distant — or like it's for other people, not you.
Or maybe you've stepped back from church activity for a season, and you're not sure where you belong anymore.
You belong here.
Do you feel disconnected?
Do you hunger for more?
Do you Long for a Tribe of Women
to Spur You On
in Your Journey
of Learning and Growing
in Hearing God?
If so, we could be your tribe. :)
This circle is for women who are ready to simply... be with Jesus.
Not to perform.
Not to have it all together.
Just to come as you are...
Whether you're deeply rooted in your faith or quietly wondering if God still has something to say to you — you're welcome here.
We are women hearing God's voice
in every season together
spurring each other on!
We help women learn how to hear God's voice as God's Word teaches, while in a safe, empowering community!
We see women of all ages and all walks of life set free in conversations with Jesus!
We empower and equip women to hear God’s voice on deeper levels as we walk through various seasons.
Why Join Us?
This group is for hungry women who...
- want ongoing accountability and community,
- with like-minded women pressing in to seek the Lord together,
- who coach each other, empower and encourage each other in the Lord!
And we have so much fun! :D
Our Freedom
Coaching Circle
...is our growing online community of women
...across multiple countries
...who come together to practice, learn, grow, and spurr each other on in hearing God's voice!
We bring together women who desire to joyfully walk in freedom, healing and breakthrough in every season as a follower of Jesus being led by His Spirit.
The VALUE of this journey has been LIFE CHANGING!
You are never the same when you...
1) learn how to hear God speak
2) learn how to ask him Qs about your life and for others
3) enjoy the journey with others who are hungry and thirsty too
We had NO idea we'd ever meet face to face...!
But, we have a few times and well...
each time has been joy overflowing!
Come, join us...
How did this incredible community begin?!
It started with three friends on an adventure together...
One of us (Merri Ellen) was recovering from burnout brought on by unfortunate events that led to paralysis and a 2 year medical leave...
Yet, this began an incredible healing journey after praying a dangerous amazing prayer, "God, Show Me More Of You!" (now a book reaching multiple nations). God re-connected the three of us and began to indeed show us MORE of Him and His true heart for us...
After two years of medical leave, learning how to walk and talk again, resting in Jesus and watching him heal and restore my own heart as well as those who came to visit me...
I (Merri Ellen) was invited to formally coach others in what I was learning and walking in. So, I began coaching in one-on-one private sessions and watching miracles multiply in the lives of those I am honoured to journey with...
And then...
For several weeks, the Lord kept waking me (Merri Ellen) up at 3am/4am/5am with downloads on how to coach people even further in breakthrough in this unique season.
Already, in my one on one sessions with clients, the Lord had been downloading prayerful and practical strategies in MANY AREAS of life. It was blowing me away. I began journalling what He was inviting me to and how to invite others along!
He asked me to multiply what I was leading individuals through...
And so, I began leading others through 4 and 5 week courses in 2019.
At the end of my original 5 week courses, my students were not wanting it to end!
This, birthed a community!
It only multiplied further and we were honoured to connect with more women and more women to explore the MORE God has for us!
And so, this is my heart...
I want to join with the Lord in empowering and equipping more and more women to hear God’s voice on deeper levels as we walk through each season.
We love walking with women into God's love that's already been prepared for them.
His Kingdom comes through women who know they are loved — not striving, but abiding.

These Stories Speak Volumes...
I love the availability of the replays, the handouts for application, and space to ask for (& receive) solid prayer. I cannot think of one thing that might be missing!
I’m confident help is always available. Whether it be in a group setting or if I need to meet with someone one on one, FCC is Spirit led, so knowledgeable & compassionate!
I feel like there is always someone I can contact for help.
Our FCC group is so amazing and we are all across several countries so no matter the time or day, there’s someone to count on for an encouraging word & prayer.
I believe being a part of FCC has absolutely changed my life, hallelujah!"
Sue, who is apart of our beautiful community of women,
shares what happened after her very first session!

Meeting consistently with this group each week has really helped me grow in listening to Jesus and in applying what I've learned the following week. We are with like-minded Jesus-pursuing people, an amazing community, that validate your journey and encourage each one to keep going, not give up. There's real love here. It's a beautiful group!
The Freedom Coaching Circle has made me stay in a growing posture. Learning new questions to ask Jesus, but also maybe the most significant part is just hearing the stories.
The women are vulnerable and willing to be honest and share where they are at and what God is doing. Especially important during this past year when we are not able to meet at church... this has been church!
What has been most helpful are the questions to ask Jesus. I also like it that you have gone through themes each month. But actually mostly I just love these women. They are fabulous! You, Merri Ellen, the other leaders, everyone!
Time commitment kept me from joining sooner, but I am so thankful this worked this year.
What made me choose the Freedom Coaching Circle over anything else I could have joined was you Merri Ellen! And my friends! And online - due to the year's circumstances.
Three benefits I’ve experienced as a result of our sessions together, has been:
- Guidance in continually learning to discern what voices I'm listening to.
- A safe place to learn and share.
- An intentional time to hear my Shepherd's voice and journal it down and reflect (and then give it away with my family or those around me).
I think the consistency of meeting each week just keeps me grounded and focused in His Word and Presence more consistently.
What surprises me the most and makes me the happiest about our group sessions together has been the genuine love for each other. Oh that's what we are made for. Love for each other and to experience the love of Jesus!
Thank you for this opportunity. It's been powerful for me to be able to join like this. I'm so grateful for this Merri Ellen! I learn so much from your journey and how you model leading others to hear Jesus for themselves. So beautiful and so refreshing."
Gail's Story:
I have really enjoyed travelling with the other women through life in the sessions together. It has been very encouraging to find other women with similar thoughts, feelings and situations. It is encouraging to see how Jesus walks with us, how he answers our questions through others of like mind and encourages us through them. How when we seek him together he gives us direction and confirms it through others. I love the safety of the group and women from different places coming together and supporting one another in their desire to be closer to Jesus.
I would recommend the Freedom Coaching Circle Membership because, if it has come into your awareness, Jesus is calling you and wants to give you all that you need. It will begin by saying yes to this group!
What kept me from joining sooner was that I had a face to face group I was a part of, the onset of Covid sent me looking for a place to connect with others and Jesus.
Having journeyed with Merri Ellen in the past, I loved her approach and felt safe and excited about journeying this way, and COVID made me choose this option online!
Three (four) benefits I’ve experienced as a result of our sessions together?
▪ Amazing blessings I couldn’t have expected.
▪ Encouragement and meeting new sisters at a time it wasn’t possible in any other way.
▪ The realization that my journey is my own, but travelling it with others really does enrich the journey.
▪ Hearing God's still quiet voice.
Before I started with the group, I was going through a very difficult time, many pressures were building and I was stuck. I needed to have the freedom from my past “Christianity” to be able to find access to Jesus.
Since joining the group, many of my circumstances have changed and that has made life easier, but being able to go to a session on Friday and recharge with my ladies and having the tools to sit with Jesus on my own have provided me with so much PEACE and JOY.
What surprises me the most or makes me the happiest about our group sessions together? That God really speaks to us through our friends. He never leaves anyone out and meets us where we need exactly when we need it. That he loves to surprise us with unexpected gifts all the time."
Jennie's story:
Jennie's been journeying with us since September 2020.
"The impact of the Freedom Coaching Circle is hard to put into words.
- I now feel like I have a solid foundation in Jesus.
- My relationship with God has increased, becoming apparent, tangible and understandable.
- I can feel the change the group has had in my now constant, impactful communications with Jesus on a daily bases.
- It has become easier to relate to Jesus.
- I have let go of past burdens.
- I understand how to communicate efficiently and effectively with our Lord.
- Increased ALL understanding of what a relationship with Jesus means. This has increased my ability to talk to others about Jesus
- Created different perspective on what I thought I understand.
- My positive relationship has spread out and effected others in a positive way.
- No shame
What made me choose the Freedom Coaching Circle over anything else was my personal experience with Merri Ellen; listening to God’s voice and the need to experience a small group that was not from my church circle.
Three benefits I’ve experienced as a result of our sessions together:
- Connections with Jesus through visualization
- Connection to other women I did not know before. New life examples
- Effective prayer
Since I started to research Jesus and the fundamentally of christianity about 6 years ago, I have attended another small group once a week without fail... striving to fully grasp what being Christian is like; why it is so important. This group was the next level, something new, different perspective... I would not have got from my other small groups within my church community.
I am surprised every week. I never know what I will be walking away with. Each week it’s a new fundamental experience that strength my spiritual self. That makes me happy to grow.
Merri Ellen, Thank you for listening to God. Without you and your connection - I would have not been able to create the connection I am currently experiencing. I am both excited and scared to grow. That’s a good spot to be in."
I would recommend our group coaching circle because it's a great place to take risks in learning to listen more deeply with Jesus while at the same time being surrounded by wise counsel.
I would say this group is a place you can honestly be yourself and ask your questions without feeling inadequate or shamed and you also get to hear what Jesus thoughts are of yourself and He is always for you, never against you!
Three benefits I’ve experienced as a result of our sessions together:
- The joy of watching others grow in Jesus,
- hearing for myself what Jesus is speaking into my life,
- a vast assortment of tools I can use in my own journey outside of the class.
This group has been one of several gatherings where I have been encouraged in my spiritual life.
What surprises me the most or makes me the happiest about our group sessions together is how each week I'm excited to see authentic growth in the other ladies in the group including mind set change that will last and continue to lead them into deeper intimacy with God."

- We interact together in our network!
- We have an app for easy access to replays, updates and conversations!

You're invited...!
HI, I’M MERRI ELLEN GIESBRECHT
I serve as a Certified Christian Life Coach and Spiritual Director.
I absolutely love helping women like you around the world in multiple countries encounter Jesus and receive the healing that only He can bring.
Since 2003, I have coached over 2 million people (yes, I said 2 million) in over 120 countries through what I have learned in encountering His joy and peace.
(I started in the early days of the internet simply via email and later recorded video teaching. In recent years, it has been LIVE and INTERACTIVE via zoom!)
I have watched God's presence bring more breakthrough in one 50-minute session than years of attending church services or traditional counselling. These have their place but encountering Jesus personally is the gold! He is the Healer, Great Physician and Wonderful Counsellor.
Through my own personal healing journey from ministry burnout, I discovered the transforming power of encountering more of Jesus with Christ-centered heart healing and as a result became passionate about others experiencing that same freedom and healing!
Today, I coach ministry leaders, business professionals, homeschooling moms, and more!
I am dedicated to empowering Jesus followers to truly encounter Jesus all over the world so they can experience Jesus as He really is, and be transformed in the process.
Women everywhere are not yet walking in the fullness of who God created them to be. You can connect with Jesus, receive healing from emotional pain/trauma and make space for God to uncover lies that keep you from living from a whole heart that He paid for on the cross.
Join us for a year together of interactive activations and growth opportunity!
