I just finished my third module and I am amazed at how far it brought me to new understandings of myself, God, and the connections with others. Each module built on the previous one so that by the third, I was poised for being reached at a deeper place. So many things have changed in my life that it would take me pages to list it all. I wish for everyone to experience this because it leaves lasting changes. It takes you to the place you always wished to go but you didnt know how to get there. Barriers that have always held me back have broken away, making me feel that things are accelerating. It makes me long for many more modules to come.

As I was declaring the I am statement Holy Spirit told me to declare, I could begin to feel the energy moving through my body- at a cellular level- I could feel my cells shifting as memories flashed into my head and could feel heat energy flow throughout my body and change the cells. Each negative memory had life poured over it with truth declared over it. As I was edified after, I felt love and true acceptance of who I am for the first time in my life and felt me!

Total transformation. I've been involved in church since I was a little boy! Got lots of info from church but little transformation. In 3 days I've experienced total transformation. I hate big words but that's exactly what has happened! Thinking of who I am from the inside out! Looking forward to the future!

Realization of the need to have others help me to achieve the purpose that Father created me for!
Surrounded myself with people to encourage and help me to do the destiny that Father has for me!
I've been involved in church for 31 years and this is the most practical thing I've done to allow Christ to be formed in me! Allowing Christ to be Christ is truly manifested in these modules.
Anyone who is serious about Christ being formed in them, this is the best I've been involved in.
Thank you!

Until this class, I haven't felt that deeply to the core. I felt and experienced the heart of God. I feel so empowered and free to move in the direction of my dreams and life work.

Dr. Barry's class was extremely powerful and helped me search myself and find my passion in life. There was a lot of confusion in my mind before this class and now I feel like my mind is clear and I am free to live out my purpose.

Module 1 was beyond what my hopes and expectations were, this day has touched and changed me. I have a clearer picture of who I am and what God has designed me to be and the impact I carry. Everyone needs to go through this module and clarify their purpose.

I realized God really does and can use my place of pain and that is my place of reign.
He can bring beauty from ashes in places from my past.
Hope that there is a new season of freedom next.

The last couple years of my life have been focused on healing and growth, and the Living Life By Design modules have really helped me in this process. It has equipped me with additional tools to use, allowed me to dive deep into myself, and most importantly, explore my true purpose in life.
I am no longer simply defined by the relationships in my life- mother, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, taxpayer, mentor, etc. My life is now with direction and purpose, so that I can nurture it in the ways necessary and so that I can grow into the person that I was designed to be.

When I started these modules I was hopeful and ready for a forward step in my life. What I received was so much more than I could have ever thought. Each module unlocks a new dimension to the real you and I SAW THE REAL me more clearly every time. The Erin I always dreamed of being is now manifesting in an incredible way. This has been the most life-changing, life-enhancing event I have ever chosen to invest my time in. And what better thing to invest in than you. Power, influence, clarity and honor of the real you will be discovered in deeper ways than can be dreamed. Thank you to Dr. Barry, Tina and the rest of the Living Life By Design team for investing their time and the revelation to bring, ME, who God is within, to realization.

These modules have helped me and my husband to further explore our calling and to draw out the power God has placed within us- individually and as a couple. Ive gained keys to living victoriously in the Kingdom-such as how to manage my state and become a force for Gods will on the earth. Weve learned that instead of seeking resources, God actually designed His people to BE the resource!

Like a child building a puzzle, sometimes they force pieces to fit where they are not supposed to. Then mom or dad come and help them take it apart and put it together correctly.
So have Barry and Tina! My puzzle was together but pieces were forced in places that they shouldnt have been. Even some pieces were missing. I guess they fell under the table. Intentional or not, I do not know how.
Anyways- The Modules, the one on one counseling, the security and safety of being safeall of it with loving guidance allowed me to repair and rebuild, realign, and re-establish, re-affirm, re-adjust, my puzzle (correctly His way) and this time I have a sealer covering me, His Spirit! Woohoo!

This class built on the foundation laid by Module 1&2 of really knowing who I am and the love of God that made me in His image. Now I can see life is limitless and even if I learned the greatness in me at 69 years old, I can still pass the greatness I see in others including those outside my family because we are all the family of God. Thank you Barry, Tina and Tisha.

The Modules are a process that assists you in pulling out and identifying the greatness that God has put inside you. While it is easy to see things in others, seeing the treasure we have inside may require help from a source that is safe and trustworthy. This is what I have found in Barry and Tina.

Module 3! I didnt really know what to expect from today but I really got a lot. I wasnt scared to stand in front of everyone and share my testimony and it felt great to do so.
Standing up for my I am statement was nerve wracking. I thought and felt like I had found and discovered the perfect one yet no one agreed. With Tinas incredible support and help, I broke through and go to the core.
Module 3 was emotional as I processed through finding the correct I am statement but it was empowering and filled me with so much excitement.
I am so thankful for this journey and experience and I am so thankful for both Barry and Tina!!
Jesus totally rocks my world!

I feel and move forward in the knowledge of who I really am. These modules are life changing, I feel my greatness expanding...I love it.
Date: 1/29/11 Module 3
In the beginning I was wanting to discover who I am and who God created me to be. Thru the course of time I got all that I was looking for and more. I am the answer to peoples prayers and the more I practice that, the more I can touch people's lives. I can now help people in ways I did not know I could. The modules are an investment that pays back for a lifetime. I thank Dr. Barry and Tina for their love, prayers, encouragement and time in me.

I have been on a faith journey over the past couple of years. In this time of journey I have been led into relationships with some incredible God fearing people. These people have opened my eyes to understand more of who God has made me to be. I have seen God reveal more to me in the past few months than any other time of my life.
Going through this experience today has been further conformation that God is asking me to let go of the natural. Reach into the kingdom and bring all good things from God to mankind. Use the gifts He has given me to expand His Kingdom now. I feel a much stronger bond with my wife, more confidence to move into what God is calling us to do together.
My hunger to serve Him is greater than ever. I love to hear revelations from my great Father. My voice is necessary, I will be more bold sharing what God places on my heart because it has been confirmed today and several times recently that God is asking that of me.
Thank you.
Page 16 Living Life By Design,
Today just further revealed to me how greatly God wants to bless me...even though I have failed in the past. My past does not define me. My now and my God does.
God has healed me of my past...but it's time for me to realize it. Truly realize it, forgive myself because God has already forgiven me and know I am worthy as I am.
I realize I'm in a place of transition...healthy transition. We are not running from or to anything. We are just following God's call to our next journey's stop...and faith is required.
And I'm excited...for what is next.
Today has released me to be powerful in God and not hold back or be apologetic about it.
Here we go!!
Page 15 Living Life By Design,
Through this class today, there are two prevalent things going through me.
First, the events of my past cannot change, but my responds to them can, NOW! I can and will have a different outcome.
Second, the Father loves me!! Having my earthy father, stepfather and father-in-law hurt or abandon me caused a stronghold to form on the word father. Today I feel I have moved forward, with a new word for Father, faithful! Loving! Where I always thought I had failed, He honored me as His daughter! I will have a whole new outlook now.
Thank you Barry and Tina for your faithfulness to do God's work!
Page 14 Living Life By Design,
Module 1 of Living Life by Design cannot be summed up with words. It is something that can only be experienced. This class takes the mindsets of yesterday and the pain, confusion, fear etc. and empowers you as a human being of God. They take what you know and build on it so much. Things that seemed so hard now seem so easy, as Barry says, "Ah-HA" moments. Tina and Barry blessed me more than they will know.
Thank you.
Page 13 Living Life By Design,
The class today was huge for me. Some of the one-liners were very significant and they helped me to understand why the things I have gone through or am going through.
What Barry said to me about being whole was huge because lately I have felt so broken and have been crying out to be whole again! So that was HUGE!
When Tina told me that my purpose is fun it was great to hear that everything I’ve been questioning is right in front of me. And the joy that I’ve longed for to come back in me is finally coming so strong!
It was all around a great day!!!
Thank you!
Page 12 Living Life By Design,
This class has provided further confirmation regarding the journey I've been on during the past 9 months. The E+R=O equation was very thought provoking. I will go home with that equation and evaluate various "markers" in my life to change my response in my "now". Im looking forward to a better outcome.
Thank you.
Page 11 Barry and Tina,
I had no real concept of just what a Living Life by Design module would entail before I entered one. My intent was simply to have open eyes and mind as I embarked on this journey of a lifetime. The discovery of my purpose and design in the Kingdom of God was a gift that I very much wanted to give myself. I have not been disappointed.
My first lesson was to understand that I needed emotional intelligence . Being personally responsible, moment by moment, for seeing what is under developed, partially developed, or fully developed in me was foreign territory to me. I had not been aware of my actions and perceptions, so this new challenge is stirring the ant hill to bring about self-discovery. Secondly, I was to have an Aha! of how I was seeing and reacting to situations not with the eyes of Jesus but with my own eyes. I had reacted to a situation without having the peace and joy of Christ lenses to guide me through a conflict. All of this was news to me.
My fiancé and I are currently involved in pre-marital counseling with Barry and his lovely wife Shawn. An Aha! in our most recent session was the recognition of a heavy load of baggageguilt from my actionsthat I was about to carry into my upcoming marriage. This guilt was a blind spot that I could not see without submitting it to the perspective of others. Because the person who did the things I felt guilty about no longer lives, I have no reason to carry his guilt. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
slide 10 My head is swimming as I lie awake after each module and contemplate my discoveries. Sometimes what I discover is not pretty, while at other times I feel so empowered by the unearthing in me that I feel like I could really conquer the world and rule as a King should.
I wish to express my love and gratitude to Tina and Barry for opening my eyes to my potential and helping me change the lens through which I have been viewing my life. To summarize, I will share a formula for success which I learned from Module One: E +R=O ( E vent plus R esponse equals O utcome). The R esponse is the part we can take control of when we have developed emotional intelligence.
This is a simple formula with gargantuan results. If I employ it continually, it will be a powerful tool for self-awareness and change in me. Lets consider any specific awareness or "Aha"I have gained about myself to be an event . Because of this new awareness, my perception has changed, so the response to what I learned about myself should be a change in behavior. The response determines whether the outcome will be empowering or disempowering.
In my particular case, having been an atheist for 40 years and finding a relationship with the Father less than 2 years ago, the regulations and expectations of religion could not hinder me in my grasping of the kingdom concepts delivered in the modules. I have been free to be open, and willing to be vulnerable and honest with myself.
slide 9 Discoveries like mine are typical of what Barry and Tina elicit from the participants of these modules. I can now see some of the limitations I have legalized in my life. I have begun to ask all the questions that I should have been asking of my internal voice: "Who says?" "What does that mean? " "Why do I do that?" Who are they when I say, " They say.?" Also, " Why not me ", and " Why not now ?" Who thinks about these questions in daily life? I certainly did not until challenged to ask them. I now try to ask myself if the thoughts that roll around in my mind, evoking the emotions which dictate my actions, are empowering or disempowering . Do I serve them or do they serve me? As a grown man in Christ I obviously need this emotional intelligence.
We tend to be blind or at the very least distracted as we move through life on this spinning rock. Daily we stumble and miss the voice of God guiding us, hearing only the loud booming voice of our own ego dictating our every move. You really are what you say you are. I have found a microscope in the petri dish of life through these modules.
Now that I have Modules One and Two under my belt, I am dealing with the result of the emotions and Ahas which have occurred with Tina and Barry through Living Life by Design . I find myself asking, Is this really who I am? I never knew this about myself. Could it be that I have a purpose yet undiscovered and untapped which is about to be revealed to me? Have I really been so unaware of the things which God intended for me to walk in?
slide 8 I feel refreshed, renewed and empowered the morning after as I write this to you. A new day has dawned for me, and I await my throne with eagerness and gratitude for the leg-up. Thanks, Tina and Barry.
-John
I learned I am a strong, powerful women who is also emotional. Dr. Barry says your personal strength can be your personal constraint and that is so true. I am an emotional person. I am a C personality however, in a stress state I am a S. When the emotions take over the logic I have a hard time explaining myself therefore people take advantage of me when I'm in that state of mind. So now that I know that with the help of Tina, I have recognized this is an area that I need to be aware of and make some changes so I don't get taking advantage of anymore.
I learned a sunglasses area for me was "unworthiness". I allowed people to treat the God in me like crap because I didn't realize who I am. I realized the spirit of fear was keeping me from taking a stand on how others treat me. My husband and I are called to the family so of course the area we struggle in the most is family!!!
These are just a few things I have gotten out of this experience. I want others to experience the freedom I've experienced!!
Thank you!
slide 7 Living Life By Design,
September 12, 2009 was the day I trusted Dr. Barry on a deeper level. He pulled out of me things I didn't even know about myself but yet he used the very words I gave him about my passions to tell me about me. I am forever changed!!!!
I have had so much breakthrough and testimonies that I don't even know where to begin!
I've seen big changes in me! I learned rejection is a seed put into my life and it has used the men in my life. Just that alone made so much sense to me. I realized I wasn't fully giving my husband a chance to treat me right because I was always operating out of hurt. That wasn't an easy thing to hear. That week I had to focus on the positive things about my husband and to not have any expectations of myself. I had to ask myself, do I set my husband up to succeed or fail? Of course, I thought I want him to succeed but I realized in some personal areas of our relationship he was always going to fail because what I wanted in my mind and what I knew he was going to do would never be good enough. So then I would get mad. That really broke my heart when I realized I was doing that to the man I love for 3 years and I didn't even know it until I started working with Tina.
slide 6 Living Life By Design,
I received so much from these classes that were life changing. During the first class I had an ah-ha moment. It really impacted me. Barry had been teaching about the life of Joseph. I have heard many teachings on Joseph and have heard people say enjoy the process.
Well, I did not understand that, because I have had several traumatic things happen in my life. One being cancer. I would think, yeah right, cancer was an enjoyable process. The revelation that came forth helped me to understand that God had turned cancer into a treasure for me.
Now the cancer was not the treasure, but the deliverance of it was. God would use this great valuable treasure through me to heal a multitude. I do not regret having cancer now and see how God is going to use what the devil meant to destroy me.
In the second class Barry was teaching on constraints and blind spots. (as he was teaching) I began to have alot of pain in my legs. The pain got worse as he went on. I told him what was happening to me and he let me know that the emotional pain that I have been carrying had manifested in my body. As the day went by I felt the pain less and less and finally it went up and out of my body. Barry never laid hands on me or prayed. The power of the revelation that was coming forth was bringing all this out.
slide 5 I do not ever remember once did they (Barry & Tina) correct me(or) tell me I was wrong (during these classes). I never felt embarassed or bad. The revelation that came forth brought all the stuff deep in my soul to the surface to deal with. Barry said the more vulnerable we were the more we would get out of the classes. He was right.
The team work shared between Barry and Tina was incredible. The life coaching was so awesome. I still am in awe of what God did through a phone.
I would encourage everyone to do this. I cannot put a price on what I got out of this. My life is forever changed. Do not ask yourself if it is worth it. Ask yourself if YOU are. I found out I was. I got my value and now see myself as a valuable treasure for the kingdom of God.
Tina and Barry, you both know how I could go on and on. So much took place. I thank you both soooooo much.
Love,
Rocio
slide 4 Living Life By Design,
During Mod 1, when Barry had us repeating things from our list of "10 things we are the most passionate about," he had me repeat something about how 'my family doesn't believe in God the way that I do and that this really bothers me,' and I broke down. He spent time just holding me as I was releasing pain from past hurts regarding this issue. This has been a very painful issue for me and this issue was even the main reason my husband of 32 years, divorced me. I believe that I released a lot of pain about this issue that day. Barry never was able to talk to me about my destiny, because of the healing that needed to take place first, but while he was holding me, he did say things like, "I feel your pain" (he meant that literally). You have a lot on your plate. You've been through a lot of warfare."
The following Wednesday and Thursday after Module 1, a man in my church gave me a word of confirmation about the growth I experienced as a result of the work I did with Barry, saying that 'he saw the transformation in me and that I was walking in a new authority.' All of the dreams showed me as a teacher and a life coach. I believe that this could be revealing more of what the Lord has called me to do. Also, since Module 1, I have had four people tell me I look younger. I enjoy hearing that! When others notice things like that on the outside, I know something is taking place on the inside.
slide 3 Since working with Tina, I have been delivered of feeling like a failure because 'situations and relationships have failed in my life.' I have also come to a deeper understanding of why the relationships ended and the plan that God has for my life. I have learned that He has "extracted" what was not in right aignment with His Will for my life and that He is bringing people into my life that are in right alignment with His plans for me. I have become much more aware of God's love for me, how much He cares about and watches over me, how He guards me from the past and how He wants me to give Him all of the pain so that I am not carrying it any more and so that all of my heart belongs to Him!
I have found out how jealous He is for me and I have a better understanding of who I am in His Kingdom than ever before.
I would strongly recommend that anyone who feels stuck and just needs some assistance to move forward, take these inspiring classes. I have experienced real change. I realize that I am the one who has to maintain these changes, but I believe that what I've learned from Barry and Tina and from what I have gained through the work that I was asked to do in the Modules, I will be able to do that and to move onward and upward in God!
Thank you,
Lee Ann
slide 2 Living Life By Design,
My testimony of this incredible journey is I have peace that is unquenchable. I love who I am, and I am excited to learn more about myself in this peace. I see, think and hear greater because I have chosen to press into God's truth and dwell there. Condemnation was ruling my life. Truth and conviction broke that hold it had on me. As I give Jesus some of myself every day, I have found great joy, peace and love like crazy! I have experienced deliverance from the fear of man verses the fear of the Lord. I have seen and felt God show up and destroy a headache over my boss. He healed an earache of a co-worker of mine and took away a sore bruised knee of another. And when I choose to be in Him, His peace every day, I have sung about who we are in Christ while I am working, and my co-workers don't want me to stop; it changes the atmosphere.
From the beginning class I felt Jesus in the first 5 minutes of the module. I heard truth after truth after truth. Dr. Barry you're awesome, it is incredible, thank you! I believe the more open I have been the further I have gone. Trust is huge with me and God. Its all about me and God, always has been always will be. Life coaching is great! It has shown me where I am at and to keep pressing. The accountability with you Tina is great! Youre prayers are effective. All I know is my life has changed. People around me are beginning to see the change.
Thank you,
Erin
