ILLUMINATE COHORTS
Dear Future Luminary,
At Providence Heights, we believe that when a woman reaches a holy crossroad— when life feels disoriented, uncertain, or weary it’s not wasted in God’s economy. It holds a sacred value and is an invitation to surrender and let God do something extraordinary. This is where sparks of renewal begin. And that’s why we created Illuminate.
Illuminate is made up of six 18-week virtual journeys designed for the in-between spaces of life. It’s a tent that is safe and Spirit-filled. A place where women rediscover who they are in Christ and how to walk in that identity with boldness and clarity
We don’t just offer a curated curriculum — we cultivate confessional community. Here, women speak truthfully about the past, honestly about faith, and hopefully about the future. They are seen, prayed for, challenged, and celebrated. Women don’t come to escape their story but to meet Christ within it. What begins as a Zoom call becomes a sacred space, a modern-day meeting in the tent.
And during these 18-weeks, something holy happens: small courageous moments of redemption—the glow of restoration that transforms a woman ’ s life and begins to reshape her family, church, and community. The extraordinary is revealed through Spirit-filled, ordinary acts of brave vulnerability and surrender.
We walk this journey slowly and intentionally. One cohort journey at a time because discipleship and growth takes time. It’s the renewing of the mind, the restoration of sacred trust, and the reawakening to a God who never left and whose promises are just waiting for them.
The world doesn’t need more content. It needs presence. It needs healed, discipled, Spirit-led women carrying light into places others have left behind.
To recover joy. To reclaim beauty. To remember they are beloved.
This is how revival begins...in the tent. Step inside and have a look.
