Ginger Hardisty

Authenticity, community, and peace.

Ginger · Authenticity and transformation

“I've tested you, and you're authentic.”

Ginger describes testing the work over two years and finding authenticity, breakthrough, and a growing experience of freedom.

“This, guys, is real stuff. It's real time. It's transformational, and I've tested it, and it's good fruit.”

Ginger: Freedom is just organic. When we first started this journey, Gil, two years ago, I wanted to test this thing. God says, “Test and see.” Man, I've tested you, and you're authentic.

It's beautiful to see the group. It's beautiful to see my breakthrough. I want to come into the full measure of the experience and freedom of being loved like that authentically. I'm growing, and I just have to give a shout-out: this, guys, is real stuff. It's real time. It's transformational, and I've tested it, and it's good fruit.

I am so appreciative and grateful for the journey and the testimonies that are here now and to come.

Gil: I've loved being on the journey with you, seeing all the changes you've gone through. This is freedom. You're stepping out and being authentic, and I love it.

Ginger · The Pearl

“There's just this peace and calm and balance.”

Ginger describes arriving at The Pearl in pain and finding a new sense of calm, grounding, and peace.

“I came hurting. I came for healing and being out in nature and being grounded.”

Ginger: The fun part of being unstuck is being with community, loving one another, and serving one another. I walked away thinking, “I'm so grateful.” I honor The Pearl because I come and I receive, and it's so beautiful.

Gil, I came hurting. I came for healing, being out in nature, and being grounded. I left at four in the morning. Around 9:30, there was just this peace and calm and balance. For the first time I realized, “I'm not hurting.” There was not one thought. I was not hurting at all. I thought, “We're getting somewhere.”

Gil: When we are able to reach that depth of peace, it is like the meditation this morning: let's reset, get centered, and return to that space. The more we practice, the deeper we go. The deeper we go, the more we relax.

When you can relax, be centered, be in the moment, and be okay with who you are in the moment, your body gets to begin healing itself. Slow down and know that everything is going to be okay.

Jenifer Fox

A Freedom Pathway unfolding in real time.

Jenifer · Beginning the Freedom Pathway

“I’m already glad that I’m taking this journey.”

After completing her questionnaire and beginning her personal materials, Jenifer describes an immediate, emotional recognition of what the process was revealing.

“If you have just a little thought inside of you that you want to be a better person … do it. Rush. Run there. Go for it.”

Jenifer: I started the Personal Pathway to Freedom with Gil Hodges yesterday, but a couple of days ago I had to fill out the questionnaire so that he would be able to work with me. My response was, “Holy shit, Gil, it’s a lot.” Anyway, I did it. I found out that what would have been easier was to have spoken my answers in. Instead, I typed it all, but it all worked.

Then began the journey, which is fresh—just yesterday. I started reading through it. The instructions are to read the whole thing through first. I got a little way through, and I’m crying. I emailed Gil and I’m like, “I hate you.” The questions are so revealing. What you walk through—again, I’ve just begun—was so freaking emotional. I’m already glad that I’m taking this journey.

If you have just a little thought inside of you that you want to be a better person and you want to take this, all I can say is: do it. Rush. Run there. Go for it.

Jenifer · A process shaped around her

“I knew it all along, but I couldn’t reach it.”

Jenifer reflects on receiving materials shaped from her own questionnaire and recognizing something deeply personal in what came back.

“It is unfreaking believable how Gil can give you a questionnaire that you answer, and it comes back with a program that’s so true to you.”

Jenifer: It is unfreaking believable how Gil can give you a questionnaire that you answer, and it comes back with a program that’s so true to you. I look at this and I’m thinking, “Wow, I knew it. I knew it all along, but I couldn’t reach it.”

I’ve had plenty of help. I’ve had prayer ministry, healing work, and help from friends. But wow, this is great. Again, I’m very thankful—thankful for Gil. I’m just so thankful.

Jenifer · After her second session

“I’m seeing the changes. It’s wonderful.”

While reading the recap from her second session, Jenifer describes seeing her life and agreements more clearly—and beginning to notice change.

“You tell him about your life, and he turns it around, and you realize: ‘Oh my God, that really was my life.’”

Read the edited transcript

Jenifer: I’m just reading the recap from my second session and wanted to respond immediately while it’s fresh in my brain. This is a testimony to anybody who is thinking about doing the Freedom Pathway. It’s amazing.

You tell Gil about your life, and he turns it around, and you realize, “Oh my God, that really was my life—and I shut myself down.” Then he takes the agreements—well, you take the agreements, but you’re being led by Gil, who is a master leader and master craftsman.

Gil, thank you so much. I’m seeing the changes. It’s wonderful. For anyone out there, listen to my words. I hope that you do it and break free. It’s worth it.

The work, in their words

Different lives. Different doorways. A freer way forward.

Some people speak about relationships. Others speak about faith, identity, shame, self-love, or hope. Freedom does not have one expression, but it often begins when a person can finally see and choose differently.

Love over fear

“I find myself choosing love more often than fear. I no longer feel as weighed down by guilt or shame. I feel more confident making difficult decisions. I have a greater sense of purpose and direction. I would confidently recommend Gil's work to someone who feels stuck and wants a new way forward.”

— Vanessa

A voice inside faith

“Gil's teachings and courses gave my faith in God fresh strength. I found freedom from formula, doctrine, and ritual, and I came to know more deeply that God loves me unconditionally and accepts me just as I am. I am learning that my voice matters, even if no one else agrees with me.”

— MD

Relationships and hope

“My relationships have improved. I better understand why I react the way I do. I have more hope for my future. I experience more joy in everyday life. I would confidently share Gil's work with people I care about.”

— Jenifer

Authenticity

“This work has helped me become a more authentic version of myself.”

— Nicholas Sargent

Self-love

“I have learned to love myself more deeply. … Yes I would and do recommend your work to others.”

— Debbie Housel
