Family Testimony

"Our whole family in Texas is being so blessed by Kerry and Becoming! I have three daughters, and we are ALL going through this together. ❤️ It’s been such a blessing to hear what each is learning. One daughter has already finished the whole course and is cheering the rest of us on! One daughter is on ANOINT, and her husband is on ASK, while another daughter is doing IMAGINE. I just started REDEEM. God is using the Becoming Academy in our family, and I’m so thankful Kerry shared her heart and all that the Lord has been teaching her."

We have a Digital Only Version

All courses feature the same teaching that has been enjoyed by hundreds of people over the last 7 years. However, the course which includes the tangible materials, namely the printed workbook (Companion Guide for your BECOMING) and all the physical items needed for the session activities has been known to create a kinesthetic and multi-sensory learning experience that enlivens the truths of God in your story and more deeply impresses them upon your soul. The digital only experience was created specifically for this academy to meet certain levels of affordability and people outside the US and Canada. For those who choose the digital only version, please note there is a PDF version of each of the tangible materials as well as suggestions for gathering similar items in your own home environment.

Kerry Hasenbalg

Academy Co-Founder, Curriculum Creator

Kerry was the founding Executive Director of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute in 2000, and worked with 170 Members of Congress, from both political parties and both the Senate and the House, to improve the lives of vulnerable children. Her husband Scott was the founding Executive Director of Show Hope in 2002, a foundation to care for orphans, started by Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman. On January 7, 2008, Scott and Kerry suffered the loss of their infant daughter, Isabella Grace, who was stillborn at 36 weeks. From that moment on, they dove deep into the soul work, that is BECOMING, in the context of their own heartache and vulnerability. They sought to find how God’s grace would evidence itself in their great sadness and the ways He would fulfill His promise to “give beauty for ashes.” God began assembling in Kerry each of these 12 tools and practices and how they correspond to the practices used by the forefathers of the Christian faith. She began mindfully applying them in her own life, particularly in parenting and marriage. As a gifted teacher and speaker, Kerry soon began to respond to the needs of people around her and started leading women’s Bible studies and speaking at events. Kerry and Scott also began facilitating retreats for married couples using the BECOMING curriculum. Her educational background in international relations and Biblical studies coupled with her global experiences in missions and child advocacy are weaved throughout her teaching. Kerry shares her miraculous stories in the context of God’s empowering grace, which came through her own recognized need of the Lord. She saw how using these Biblical tools helped her and her loved ones flourish. In 2000 Kerry began teaching large retreats online which led to the creation of The BECOMING Academy as a place for more people to access to these formational practices of faith in a digitized format that can be accessed on-demand from anywhere in the world. Kerry lives by her words, “Our sufferings and experiences can offer wisdom if we take the time to learn from them.”

What others are saying about Becoming.

“The wisdom and knowledge flowing out of Kerry's mouth were beyond anything I’ve heard preached or taught in my entire Christian life. That's 57 years of church.  ”

Julie Ann Scott, UK

“I am continually amazed at how challenged and encouraged I am when I do this study of Becoming. I already want to do it all over again. Thank you!”

DANIELLE CORNELIUS, AK

“I have been doing bible studies for over forty years and have never experienced something as transformative as this.”

HEATHER HESS, PA

“"Kerry's teaching has been revelatory to me and has been a way to identify and heal spiritual wounds. My walk with Jesus has deepened and become ever more joyful as a result." ”

MEREDITH SWIFT, AUSTRALIA

“Kerry and these tools have helped me connect my faith with my background as a Psychologist. When I was in a family crisis personally, just one afternoon of using the tools saved me hours and hours of therapy. Healing and progress came to me differently than I expected. The Way of Becoming is a gift that can help transform you if you are ready to dive in and do the hard work.”
