Healthy & Whole
We won’t shy away from the fact that Jubilee Seasons is built upon Christian principles.
But no matter your faith stance, the ideas of Sabbath rest, forgiveness, and a sense that healing can happen from the effects of the injustices in life, are universal in being able to live well–to live abundantly.
Jubilee Seasons
Every 50 years...
the ancient Hebrews were instructed to celebrate a year of Jubilee. In this, those who were enslaved and indebted were to be “set free.” It was also a time where the land could rest from its continual plowing in an agrarian society. Sadly, this rarely happened.
Eternal Jubilee
Later, the prophet Isaiah declared that a permanent season of Jubilee would be established when the Messiah appeared. Jesus Himself declared that He was that Anointed One who would “set the captive free.” And in the gospel of John, we see that His mission was to do just that–set people free from the tyranny of sin, pain, sickness, and ill treatment. Jesus knew His end goal. “…at the wrap up of time, I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.” (John 6:39, MSG)
Our Goal
That is the heart behind Jubilee Seasons–wholeness. Our goal is simply to bring the needed encouragement, through our resources and products, that help those dealing with chronic stress, cultivate peace: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Our
Story
About 20 years ago, Kristene walked into the Environmental Health Center of Dallas and took a seat in the waiting room. Barely able to sit up in the chair because of extreme fatigue and pain that radiated throughout her entire body, she looked around and took note of the people in masks, and others attached to portable oxygen tanks. To this day, she remembers the general feeling in the room–hopelessness and fear. However, as sick as she was, she wasn’t hopeless. She knew Jesus could heal her instantaneously. He had already done many miracles on her behalf. But, for some reason, He had sent her to this place, and it was here that she came every day for intense treatments that lasted 6 months. On the other side of these treatments (sauna therapy, immunotherapy, vitamin IVs, oxygen therapy, a controlled diet, elimination of environmental triggers, etc.), Kristene regained her life.
What had taken her vitality and health? -a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. At the time, she was told there wasn't a cure and that the only thing the doctors could do was manage her pain with anti-depressants and muscle relaxers. Everything in her refused to accept that outcome and she rejected the treatment. She remembers thinking,“Nothing about this is getting to the root of the issue.” She wanted real answers.
In 2020, Kristene had a flashback of walking into that waiting room–except this time, she stood in the middle of the grocery store. As she looked around, she saw a sea of masked faces. She could see fear in the eyes of all that dared look back at her. It was then that she knew people were going to come out of this encounter with Covid-19 dealing with stress-related illnesses and issues. But in some bazaar way, she felt unusually equipped to help others through it.
“I tell people now who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, or other chronic illnesses, that the way out is to be healed spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I find that people in this condition tend to have gone through a great deal of pain in life. They can usually trace the origin of their condition back to chronic stress and/or unresolved trauma.”
