You could be a complete beginner or have the highest level of education, a business owner, church or community member, mom, student , teacher, first responder, pastor, veteran or just simply someone knowing they have a call on their life to make a difference in this world and help the hurting. Whether you are looking to make a career change or just adding this missing link to your ministry or career, FBCTI will teach you how to be confident in your Chaplaincy role or as a Restorative Therapist.

Passion is more than dreams of great things and following your bliss. It is a burning deep within your heart that you cannot shake. Passion requires a burning in the pit of your stomach that is only tamed when you feed your dreams through accomplishments and actions toward that burn. That feeling of power, drive, energy, and borderline obsession required to achieve your dreams is passion.
