Revival Seminars · Character-Building Coaching

Can a selfish person be happy in heaven?

Where selfish hearts learn to love like Christ.

Heaven is a society of perfect love, where everyone lives for the good of others. A selfish heart could not be at home there — not because God would turn it away, but because heaven’s happiness is the happiness of loving, and selfishness cannot love.

That is why character building is the most important work of this life. Our money, our work, and even our bodies stay behind when we die. Our character is the one thing we take with us into eternity.

And the good news is that we do not have to change ourselves. Jesus promises to do in us what we cannot do for ourselves — to take selfish hearts and teach them, day by day, to love like His. “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)

Our circle is a small company of friends walking that road together — one lesson a week.

The journey — 40 lessons

Our circle walks together through From Glory to Glory, Revival Seminars’ Character-Building Coaching — 40 Bible-based lessons in two parts:

  • Part 1 — What God has done for us. His love, His promises, and the new heart He gives: first we look at what God has done for us.
  • Part 2 — What He wants to do through us. Then we look at what He wants to do through us — a changed life that blesses our families, our churches, and our neighbors.

These lessons have changed our own lives, and we don’t believe they were ever meant to be studied alone. In time, students who complete the program may even be invited to lead circles of their own — this is how the blessing multiplies.

How the circle works

At home during the week (about an hour, in your own time):

  • Watch the week’s video lesson and take notes.
  • Answer the lesson’s quiz questions in your own words.
  • Write a short personal outline of the lesson.
  • Jot down three very short stories from your own life where the lesson’s principle showed up.
  • Share one insight with somebody during the week.

Together on Zoom (about one hour, once a week):

  • We open with prayer and draw out the heart of the lesson.
  • We discuss the questions and the outlines together.
  • We share the week’s stories, struggles, and victories — and close with prayer.

The group stays small — at most 10 students — so that everyone is truly known.

Your first meeting: come and taste it, and then decide about the road ahead.

Our simple agreements: what is shared in the circle stays in the circle; we listen to each other with kindness — testimonies are welcome, and judging or counselling each other is not.

All 40 lessons live on our coaching course page. When you join the circle, you receive access to it: free — the coupon is simply your key. On the course page you will find each week’s video lesson and its accompanying notes and quizzes.

When do we meet?

Circles meet at different times in different parts of the world. When you write to us, tell us your city and country — we will place you in a circle that fits your time zone, or, if none fits yet, we will gladly start a new one with you. Each circle meets once a week, for about one hour, and joining is simple: we send you a link, you click it, and you are in — no account needed.

What it costs

Everyone is welcome. No one is turned away because of money.

Our study circles are offered freely because we believe that the opportunity to grow in Christ’s character should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

At the same time, organizing these circles takes time, dedication, and resources. There are people working behind the scenes to prepare lessons, facilitate discussions, and make this ministry possible.

If you are able, would you consider helping sustain these study circles with a monthly gift of $20?

Your contribution helps cover the work involved and allows us to welcome others who may not be in a position to give.

Whether you are able to contribute or not, you are equally welcome. We want you here, and we would love to walk this journey together. You are not paying for lessons. You are joining a small fellowship of people who want to grow together into the character of Christ.

Freely we have received; freely we give. (Matthew 10:8)

Thank you for being part of this journey!

And if you are able and glad to give a little extra, your gift can cover a place for someone in need: Give a place to someone.

Prefer to meet one-to-one? Some friends prefer personal meetings. Ludo also offers one-to-one coaching for those who want to work through the lessons — or through a personal question — privately: visit Ludo’s SuperProf profile.

Write to us

Write to us. Tell us a little about yourself, and please include your city and country — that helps us know your time zone. And we would love to hear how you found us: at a fair, on our website, on Facebook, on YouTube, or through a friend. We will reply, help you find a circle that fits your time zone, and send you your meeting link. We read every message personally.

Questions you may have

Do I need Zoom experience?
No. If you can click a link, you can join. We send you a link before the meeting. When it’s time for the meeting, you simply click the link and you’re in. If you like, we can test your connection with you beforehand.

What if I miss a week?
Life happens — it happens to all of us. Our meetings are recorded — always with everyone’s knowledge — so that you can catch up. And if you are on the other side of the world for a season, you may be able to join another circle for a week or two.

Is this therapy?
No. This is Bible-based character study with friends — teaching, discussion, and honest sharing. It is not professional mental-health care. If you are struggling with something heavy, please also talk to someone who can help: a trusted friend, your pastor, a counsellor, or, in a crisis, call 988 (in the US) or reach out to a trusted professional. And if you would like personal, one-to-one coaching with Ludo, that is available too — see ‘What it costs’ above.

What if I cannot contribute financially?
You are just as welcome! Participation in our study circles is free. Financial contributions are entirely voluntary, and nobody will ever be treated differently because they cannot give.

A closing word

If your heart longs for this change, you are welcome among us. Come and see — and you may find friends for the journey.

With love and hope,
