Authentic Courage Thunder (A.C.T.)
At Authentic Courage Thunder (A.C.T.), we believe that true transformation begins when we strip away the noise of the world and lean fully into the truth of God’s Word. A.C.T. was born from a vision to help individuals break free from emotional, mental, and spiritual strongholds by reconnecting with their true identity in Christ.
We understand that life can feel overwhelming. Many of us are walking around with unresolved pain from childhood trauma, broken relationships, and self-doubt that quietly shapes how we show up in the world. At A.C.T., we’re here to help you confront those layers—with courage, with authenticity, and with the power of God’s thunder guiding the way.
Founded by Darla Christensen, A.C.T. offers a unique blend of spiritual guidance, emotional healing, practical coaching, and biblical truths. Through our videos, workshops, classes, and group sessions, we teach you how to renew your mind, heal your soul, and walk confidently in your God-given purpose.
