“I should be getting better by now. Why do I still struggle with the same sins?”
“If I try harder, pray more, serve faithfully, maybe God will be more pleased with me.”
Many of us long to grow in faith, yet often end up striving harder or feeling defeated when change seems slow. What if sanctification isn’t about climbing higher, but going deeper into the gospel?
In this session, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit grows us, not through pressure or performance, but through the ongoing rhythm of repentance, belief, and love. Come rediscover the transforming grace of the gospel that frees us to grow in Christ with humility, joy, and hope.
Registration Closed.
skewed ways of viewing sanctification
We often see growth as something to achieve—climbing higher, measuring up, proving ourselves. But the gospel offers a different picture. Discover how unbiblical views distort our growth and how grace reshapes the way we see change.
gospel dance
What if sanctification isn’t a straight line of progress but a dance of grace? The gospel dance invites us to move in rhythm with the Spirit through repentance, belief, and love. Learn how this rhythm transforms our daily walk—not by trying harder, but by returning again and again to the good news of Jesus.
what is parakaleo?
Parakaleo, derived from the Greek word meaning ‘coming alongside,’ emphasises creating a safe space for women to experience genuine community centred on the gospel.
Parakaleo will help you:
Grow in resilience and strengthen your foundation in the gospel,
Experience renewal through the power of the gospel, and
Find support and connection in ministry
who is this intensive for?
Church planters’ wives
Pastors, elders, and leaders’ wives
Ministry leaders or ministry-minded women
If you’re new to Parakaleo, don’t worry! There are no prerequisites for this Intensive, and all are welcome.
If you’re already part of a Parakaleo small group, we encourage you to join us! This Intensive can serve as a helpful refresher for you. In fact, as we progress through the sessions, it may provide an opportunity for you to delve deeper into your own story or address current issues.
what is this training about?
We refer to this training as an “Intensive.” During this event, you will dedicate a few short but intense hours to learning new visual tools (take a sneak peek to see how they look) that help women in internalising the gospel, Christian doctrines, and navigating ministry challenges.

calling
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” 1 Peter 4:10
What is our calling in life? How can we discover God’s calling for us? As women, we often find ourselves wearing different hats. How can we faithfully live out these roles in everyday life?
community
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12
Building community is challenging, often messy and complicated as we journey together in the church. Yet, the church as a covenant community is God’s gift to believers. How can we cultivate community in the “already and not yet” of our journey?
idolatry
“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13
What is an idol? Is it a physical object or a belief? Is idolatry a prevalent issue for most of us in this age? How can we uproot the deep-seated idols within our hearts?
