Hi, I’m Jim Otremba!

As a church worker who has experienced compassion fatigue and anxiety, I understand these struggles firsthand. By God’s grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I’ve come to rely on a four-step process the Lord placed on my heart years ago. Since the early 2000s, I’ve worked with Lutheran ministers as a licensed therapist and have witnessed how God brings restoration, healing, and renewed purpose.

Testimonials

“The classes were quite helpful. There have been many stressors in my first year of ministry (and marriage), but I’ve used much of what I learned through your classes to help. I found the advice and work to be helpful. The concrete practices that you suggest are simple and easy to do. Profundity and simplicity often go hand in hand, and the truthfulness and effectiveness of the content of your class proves this to be true. I pray that you continue to offer this course and resources. They are most helpful and necessary.”

“I found the classes to be helpful, and informative. I especially appreciated learning about things like how much time the average person spends consuming media, how the pesticides on our food can affect us, and what we know about how the brain functions. Not to mention how helpful ICB (Intentional Christian Breathing) can be! Thank you for the resources. Blessings on your continued work”
