“Your Hero’s Journey Begins Here”

The Path and the Powers

Every hero walks a path—a journey through seven transformative stages that will test you, change you, and ultimately reveal who you were always meant to become.

But here's what most people don't realize: you don't walk this path on willpower alone.

As you move from The Call to The Return, you'll draw on five inner powers that grow stronger with every step: Strength, Courage, Faith, Hope, and Legacy. These aren't just nice qualities to have—they're the forces that fuel your transformation.

Think of it this way:

• The 7 stages are your map—the path every hero must walk

• The 5 powers are your fuel—the inner forces that carry you through

Some powers ignite at the beginning of your journey. Others emerge in your darkest moments. And some are only fully realized when you've made it through to the other side.

You'll need all five. And the journey will teach you how to use them.

Below, you'll see the full journey mapped out. As you explore each stage, notice which powers are most active—because understanding where you are and what you need is the first step to becoming unstoppable.

The Five Powers Within Every Hero

Every hero's story is shaped by five guiding powers— Strength, Courage, Faith, Hope, and Legacy. As you move through each stage of your journey, these qualities grow with you, helping you rise, rebuild, and become unstoppable.

But here's what you need to know: these powers don't all show up at once. Some ignite early. Some emerge in crisis. And some are only fully understood after you've walked the entire path.

Below, explore each power and discover where it shows up in your journey—and how you can develop it further.

Power One- Strength

Strength isn't just physical. It's mental, emotional, and spiritual endurance. It's the power to keep going when everything in you wants to quit. Strength is built slowly, through repetition, through showing up, through choosing yourself again and again.

Where it shows up:

• Most critical during The Training, when you're building habits and proving to yourself you can stick with something

• Essential in The Battle, when obstacles hit hard and you need to endure

• Renewed in The Resurrection, when you realize just how much you've survived

How to develop it: Consistent action, physical movement, setting boundaries, honoring commitments to yourself

Build resilience from the inside out—this is where your confidence grows through faith, consistency, and movement.

Power Two- Courage

Courage is the decision to act despite fear. It's not fearlessness—it's moving forward with trembling hands and a racing heart because the cost of staying stuck is greater than the risk of trying. Courage is what separates those who dream from those who do.

Where it shows up:

• Born in The Resistance, when you take that first terrifying step

• Tested in The Battle, when everything is harder than you thought and quitting feels easier

• Required at every threshold of growth—courage is the doorway to every new stage

How to develop it: Start before you're ready, speak up, take imperfect action, face one fear at a time

Step forward when fear says "stop." Each act of courage shapes the story only you can live.

Power Three- Faith

Faith is trust in what you cannot yet see. It's believing there's purpose in the process, that God is working even in the waiting, and that your story is unfolding exactly as it should. Faith doesn't remove the difficulty—it gives you the strength to walk through it.

Where it shows up:

• Sustains you through The Training, when results aren't visible yet

• Anchors you in The Death, when everything feels like loss and you have to surrender

• Grows throughout the entire journey—faith is both the foundation and the fruit

How to develop it: Prayer, reflection, trusting the process, letting go of control, looking back at past provisions

The unseen force that keeps you moving when you can't see the way.

Power Four- Hope

Hope is the belief that change is possible. It's the quiet voice that says "keep going" when everything says "give up." Hope isn't naive optimism—it's a defiant trust that your story isn't over, that breakthrough is coming, and that every hard moment is shaping you for something greater.

Where it shows up:

• Ignited in The Call, when you first feel the whisper of "there's more"

• Tested throughout the journey, especially in The Battle and The Death

• Renewed and deepened in The Resurrection, when you see proof that transformation is real

How to develop it: Remembering past victories, surrounding yourself with encouragement, focusing on possibility, staying connected to your "why"

When the path darkens, hope keeps you anchored to purpose—and reminds you who called you here.

Power Five- Legacy

Legacy isn't what you leave behind when you die—it's how you live right now. It's the impact you have on others, the example you set, the way your transformation gives others permission to change. Legacy is living in a way that matters, that inspires, that echoes beyond your own story.

Where it shows up:

• Planted in every stage—every choice, every act of courage, every moment of faith contributes to your legacy

• Fully realized in The Return, when your story becomes a gift to others

• Lived daily as you inspire those watching your journey

How to develop it: Living with intention, serving others, sharing your story, showing up authentically, investing in relationships

Live intentionally, nurture relationships, and create a life that inspires others to grow.
