From Confusion to Clarity in Your Marriage

You love God. You value marriage.
But something in your relationship doesn’t feel right—and you can’t keep ignoring it.

Join the Waitlist

You’re not crazy, you’re confused for a reason…

▶ If you’re constantly second-guessing yourself…

▶ If your husband feels kind one moment and cold, angry, or withdrawn the next…

▶ If you’re walking on eggshells, trying to keep the peace, and wondering “Is this normal—or is something wrong?”

If you feel disoriented, there’s a reason. Healthy relationships don’t leave you constantly doubting your own reality. Your discomfort is information—not failure.

RISE supports women of faith navigating confusion in their marriages—equipping them with the skills to name what’s happening, protect their hearts, and move forward with confidence.

WHAT IS RISE?

RISE is a 13-week small-group program for Christian women who are seeking clarity, emotional safety, and wisdom for the next steps in their marriage.

It’s designed for women who are:

  • Married, Separated, or Dating

  • Experiencing emotional, spiritual, sexual, financial, or relational harm

  • Affected by a partner’s addiction(s), affairs, untreated mental health issues, pornography use, or patterns of control and mistreatment

  • Struggling to trust their own discernment after years of confusion

The RISE journey is not about telling you to stay—or telling you to leave. It’s about helping you see clearly, reclaim your God-given identity and voice, and taking the next right step, for you—at your pace.

Helping You Navigate the Unknown in Your Marriage

Many Christian women stay stuck not because they’ve been taught to silence their questions and their feelings.

Maybe you’ve been told:

  • “All marriages are hard.”

  • “He doesn’t mean it.”

  • “Just forgive and move on.”

  • “If you submit or pray more, things will improve.”

But confusion, fear, and emotional harm are not fruits of a healthy marriage—and they are not God’s design for you.

God wants for you to have clarity and wouldn’t ask you to suffer in your marriage. He cares deeply for you—not just the institution of marriage.

The RISE Model

RISE guides you through a process of discernment and healing:

R = Restore Safety

Understanding what safety in a relationship truly means, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

I = Invest in Stability

Learning how to ground yourself, reduce chaos, and strengthen your internal and external support.

S = Speak Truth

Set boundaries with confidence & integrity, act in alignment with your values & reclaim your voice.

E = Emerge Stronger

Reclaim your peace, rediscover your true self, and step forward into wholeness and freedom.

Confusion → Clarity → Strength → Next steps

What You’ll Gain:

✓ Clarity about whether abuse or coercive patterns are present

✓ Language to name what’s happening—without minimizing or exaggerating

✓ Greater confidence in setting boundaries rooted in wisdom and faith

✓ Reduced self-doubt and confusion

✓ A renewed sense of agency and steadiness

✓ A true understanding of what the Bible says about abuse and divorce

✓ Learning how to create emotional safety for your children

✓ Discernment about next steps—without being pushed toward any decision

What RISE won’t do:

  • Save or end your marriage

  • Change your husband

RISE helps to empower you to own what is yours and release what isn’t.

  • RISE is a 13-week program designed to provide safe support and guidance as you navigate clarity and healing in your marriage.

  • Each week features a live, facilitated small group session with a combination of teaching, guided reflection, and group processing. Participants have space to share—but there’s no pressure to speak if you’re not ready. Safety and trust are prioritized throughout the program.

  • Groups are intentionally limited to 6–8 women. Small groups create a safe environment where you can be heard and supported with more intentional support.

  • Sessions run 60–90 minutes, giving time for learning, discussion, and reflection at a manageable pace.

  • All group meetings take place online via Zoom. Once you have purchased the course, and selected your preferred day and time, you’ll receive an email confirmation with your Zoom link to access your group session on your selected date and time. (Your zoom link won’t be open until the time your class is scheduled each week.)

  • You'll have access to the video lessons, group coaching with Darah Ashlie during the 13 week course period. Plus, you'll also get downloadable handouts each week that are yours to keep. Actual video sessions with group members is not recorded to protect each participants safety.

  • The Rise Group Coaching Program for individuals is $499. If you were to book 90 minute individual coaching sessions for 13 weeks with Darah, the cost would be over $2000, but with the Overcomer’s Group Coaching Program you get 13 coaching sessions (90 minutes in length) led by Darah at a fraction of the cost. Essentially, you pay around $40 a session and get all of the handouts and the pre-recorded video lessons. This also includes a discounted rate to continue on to the Overcomer’s Course, for continued support at the end of the 3 months.

  • Registration is closed until the next session. Click the links on this page, to be notified when the doors open again.

  • Yes! We will add classes as we gauge the interest. So if you go to book and all classes are full, reach out at darah@darahashlie.com to let us know you’re interested! If we have enough interest, we will add classes according to the requests we receive.

  • Unfortunately, there is no way to refund or reimburse you for any missed classes. However, if you need to miss a class or leave early, or simply want to refresh your memory on a particular lesson, all recorded lessons are available 24 hours after the meeting. You can watch the session you missed and refer to it as you need to throughout the course! (*Recorded zoom calls are removed at the close of the 13 weeks for participant privacy purposes).

  • RISE is educational and supportive, not therapy, legal advice, or crisis intervention.

    This course is not a replacement for licensed counseling. We do require participants to fill out an intake form to screen for actively suicidal cases, court mandated counseling cases, and for patients who are actively seeking a diagnosis for any major mental illness. This course is not designed to address these concerns. If after reviewing the intake forms, we deem a participant actively needs more care than the course can provide, we may refer the participant to a licensed professional counselor in their area.

    RISE is not designed for crisis response or intervention.
If you are in immediate physical danger, please contact your local domestic violence shelter or call 911. You may also access a safety planning guide here and are encouraged to connect with your local domestic violence resources (or www.thehotline.org) for immediate support.

  • Due to the nature of enrolling for group classes, your spot is reserved specifically for you when you book. Spaces are extremely limited and class fees are non-refundable.
