LIVE
LIFE
Freely & Abundantly
We don't shy away from our Christian faith. It shapes everything we create.
We believe that God's invitation to us is one of shalom–a life where body, mind, soul, and spirit are continually being restored in His presence. As we practice Sabbath, extend forgiveness, receive His mercy, and embrace the unique seasons He leads us through, we discover that healing is not merely about feeling better–it's about becoming more fully alive in Him. And then cultivating a life of living in the awareness of His love and goodness.
Jubilee Seasons
Every 50 years...
the ancient Hebrews were instructed to celebrate a year of Jubilee. In this, those who were enslaved and indebted were to be “set free.” It was also a time where the land could rest from its continual plowing in an agrarian society. Sadly, this rarely happened.
Eternal Jubilee
Later, the prophet Isaiah declared that a permanent season of Jubilee would be established when the Messiah appeared. Jesus Himself declared that He was that Anointed One who would “set the captive free.” And in the gospel of John, we see that His mission was to do just that–set people free from the tyranny of sin, pain, sickness, and ill treatment. Jesus knew His end goal. “…at the wrap up of time, I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.” (John 6:39, MSG)
Our Goal
It's this journey into wholeness that is at the heart of Jubilee Seasons. Our goal is simply to offer needed encouragement, through our resources and products, to those who may find themselves in difficult seasons. And who need to receive the Lord's peace spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and/or physically.

Story
Some seasons seem to divide our lives into before and after. For me, one of those seasons took place more than 25 years ago in the waiting room of the Environmental Health Center of Dallas.
I had recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Pain and exhaustion had become constant companions. I can still remember how hard it was for me to even sit in the chair in the waiting room. But I was even more aware of the people around me. Most were wearing masks, some were carrying portable oxygen tanks, and the room seemed to be filled with fear and uncertainty. I remember thinking, "These people need hope."
Even as sick as I was, I hadn't lost mine. I believed Jesus was the Great Physician and that He wanted to heal me.
That hope carried me through six months of intensive treatment–sauna therapy, immunotherapy, nutritional support, oxygen therapy, dietary changes, and learning to reduce the environmental burdens my body could no longer handle. Little by little, my health began to return.
Looking back, I see that my healing journey was about far more than recovering physically. God was teaching me to listen to the cues my body was giving me and to steward my health.
Over the years, I've continued learning about the way God designed our bodies, and have grown in my understanding of what living under chronic stress does to us. I've also made a new discovery that brought much clarity into my health issues over the years. Many practitioners, who specialize in fibromyalgia, now also encourage their patients to be evaluated for ADHD. This is due to emerging research that suggests these conditions share the same neuroinflammatory pathways and very typically overlap.
Like many women, I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD as a child. However, receiving that understanding later in life, didn't change who I was. It helped me understand that my highly sensitive nervous system was not a flaw to overcome. Rather, it was part of the unique way that God had knit me together. Instead of constantly fighting my body. I learned to support it. Instead of viewing my sensitivity as weakness, I began to see it as a gift that simply requires faithful stewardship.
I am convinced that those dealing with chronic-stress related issues, burnout, and/or other types of invisible illness don't need more shame heaped upon them. They need compassionate support, wisdom in addressing their needs, and the freedom to work with their God-given design. We all need hope, no matter our season. And thankfully, hope is never in short supply with Jesus.
