HEALING WHAT’S WITHIN RestoratiON GROUP
Has your journey left you feeling wounded, weary, or wandering?
Do you long to come home — to yourself, to others — maybe even to God?
If this is you, allow us at The Jesus Cohort to be a compassionate, caring witness to what you have experienced and endured.
You are invited…
Discover the path back to the true you.
Our upcoming “Healing What’s Within” Restoration Group is an 8-week cohort designed for you to experience the restorative, healing love of Jesus through a caring community of people. Guided by the wise insights and practices of author and therapist Chuck DeGroat’s book Healing What’s Within, we will hold space for you to share your story, attune to what is happening within you, and begin your journey home.
You don’t have to carry the weight of your wounds alone. Take the next step toward the healing and wholeness you deserve.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Over the course of this 8-week journey, your participation will involve…
Engaging with Integrated Perspectives and Practices for Healing and Wholeness: Each week, you will read and reflect on (approximately) one chapter from Chuck DeGroat’s book “Healing What’s Within.” This includes engaging with guided discussion questions and practical exercises to integrate the chapter's concepts into your daily life.
Connecting with a Compassionate Community: You will join a weekly 90-minute live, online Zoom meeting with your cohort. This confidential space is dedicated to shared processing, support, and learning from one another’s experiences.
Stewarding Your Story: We believe that sharing your story is a powerful step toward healing. We will create a safe and non-pressured space for you to share your journey. There is absolutely no obligation to speak, but we offer this opportunity for you to be truly seen and supported by people who care about your pursuit of healing, freedom, and wholeness.

Founder & Director of The Jesus Cohort
Having spent over 30 years in pastoral ministry, Doug has experienced both the profound beauty of the Church and the deep wounds that can come from relational rejection and spiritual abuse. After navigating his own journey through C-PTSD, he founded The Jesus Cohort as a sanctuary for the weary. He is a "wounded healer" dedicated to helping others find their way back to their true selves in Christ.
PAUL BACKHAUS

Based in Morton, IL, Paul brings a steady, compassionate presence to our Restoration Groups.

We believe deeply that financial barriers should not prevent anyone from finding their way home. If you are in need of assistance, please let us know. We offer need-based scholarships, because we believe your presence in the group is more valuable than the registration fee.
