Pastor • Teacher • Spiritual Formation Leader
Who This Is For
Two clear paths. One goal: real spiritual transformation.
For Serious Believers
You love God. You value His Word. But you know your growth hasn’t gone as deep as it should.
- Grow in spiritual maturity
- Engage Scripture more deeply
- Practice your faith in ways that lead to real change
For Leaders, Teachers and Preachers
You faithfully labor in the Word. You teach truth. But you’re not seeing the depth of transformation you know should follow.
- Teach Scripture with clarity and depth
- Move beyond information into transformation
- Develop people spiritually—not just inform them

The Book - The Value in Violation
Lived before it was named. Practiced before it was studied.
The Value in Violation reflects the way Dr. Hollist has been helping people grow and heal long before her doctoral work put language and research around it. In this book, she walks readers through a clear, practical path—moving beyond awareness into real healing, restored identity, and purposeful living.
What started as lived ministry and personal application is now affirmed through her work in experiential, skill-based spiritual formation: real change happens when we practice the truth found in God, not just understand it.
This book gives you a first experience of that approach—especially for those navigating trauma, pain, and relational wounds.
For those ready to go deeper
You don't need more information. You need formation.
The Formation Lab is where believers learn how to practice their faith—and leaders learn how to help others do the same, so real growth can happen.
This is not another class. It’s a guided process designed to help you grow—and help others grow well.
