LIVE
LIFE
Freely & Abundantly
We won’t shy away from the fact that Jubilee Seasons is built upon Christian principles.
But no matter your faith stance, the ideas of Sabbath rest, forgiveness, and a sense that healing can happen from the effects of the injustices in life, are universal in being able to live well–to live abundantly.
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
That is the heart behind Jubilee Seasons–wholeness. Our goal is simply to bring the needed encouragement, through our resources and products, that help those dealing with chronic stress, cultivate peace: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Our
Story
About 25 years ago, Kristene walked into the Environmental Health Center of Dallas and took a seat in the waiting room. She had just received a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and could barely sit up in the chair due to fatigue and pain. She looked around and took note of the people in masks, and others attached to portable oxygen tanks. To this day, she remembers the general feeling in the room–hopelessness and fear. However, as sick as she was, she wasn’t hopeless. She knew Jesus could heal her. So, it was here that she came every day for intense treatments that lasted 6 months. On the other side of these treatments (sauna therapy, immunotherapy, vitamin IVs, oxygen therapy, a controlled diet, elimination of environmental triggers, etc.), Kristene regained her health.
She has since learned that those who specialize in treating Fibromyalgia recommend their patients also get tested for ADHD. The latest research suggests the two conditions are highly linked. Although she was never diagnosed as a child, Kristene is certainly ADHD wired, along with her children. As a family, they now understand that neurodivergence pairs with having a highly sensitive central nervous system. And that those who are wired a bit differently, need extra support for their particular physiology and neurology, as well as their unique emotional makeup and needs.
Kristene tells people now, who have been diagnosed with ADHD, fibromyalgia, or other chronic illnesses, that "our bodies are telling us a story. One that needs to be listened to with compassion. And that God knows how we are formed, as well as how to strengthen and heal us."
Jubilee Seasons products can certainly be beneficial for and enjoyed by all. But with that, our specific mission is one of support and encouragement for those who are recovering from burnout and/or other chronic-stress related issues. We want to use the voice given us to help those who are ADHD wired understand that we can live purposeful and joyful lives through acceptance, asking for help when needed, and cultivating our innate creative strengths, all while addressing our specific needs. "Some of the most joyful, bright, funny, and creative people I know are ADHD. And we can thrive given the proper support."
