Welcome to Healing Center International
We are a relational, healing community of leaders who are seeking to become like Christ. For over 20 years, we have developed a distinct culture that is safe and nourishing. Through careful discernment and testing we have created and identified some of the best resources available today (including Facing Life’s Losses, Listening for Heaven’s Sake, The Life Model, HeartSync, and Immanuel Approach). We endeavor to train leaders to apply what they’re learning to their own lives, as well as minister to their own communities. For example, we attune to each other, understand that we are not there to fix each other, and are able to help each other encounter God to know him better, love him more, and become more like him. We receive healing and comfort from the Lord. We pay attention to grief and sorrow. We help each other recover from our relational maturity deficits. We practice spiritual exercises and healing prayer.
Below are a few ways to get involved as well as learn more about upcoming classes, programs, and certifications. Feel free to take a look around our website to get to know us even more, or email us at HCI@GodHealsToday.org with any specific questions you may have.
Classes
Come grow with us by signing up for our upcoming classes:
Immanuel Practice Sessions (requires prerequisite)
Bi-monthly from January 5th- May 18th, 2026
Leadership Development 2026
At HCI we are passionate about developing leaders who know Jesus intimately and who can demonstrate healthy relational skills so that others may experience life-giving community. One way we do this is though our Leadership Development (LD) groups.
Our 2025 LD group leaders will be Rev. Brian Smith and Cindy Browning.
The group will meet weekly for two hours via Zoom with each meeting including:
Briefly sharing our highs and lows with each other. We want to rejoice with you, and we also want to hear about your sorrows, places where you need our prayers and support.
Teachings on a relational or spiritual skills.
Time interacting with God in a divine encounter.
Sharing in groups of three.
You will also be taking these three courses, below, throughout the first year:
12-weeks on Forming by David Takle. You will learn to align your "boat" with the wind of the Holy Spirit rather than row against the current. Although other curriculums help you experience a two-way communication with God, Forming goes further. You will experience God healing your identity through joyful interactions as well as listen to his guidance in areas that need healing, such as self-loathing, fear, deception, and past traumas.
7-weeks on Listening for Heaven's Sake by Equipping Ministries. You will where participants learn the art of active listening, and creating a safe space for sharing and understanding without becoming anxious or overly involved. This foundational skill has become the standard for how we interact with each other, and has enhanced our community's connections and deepened our relationships.
12-weeks on learning Immanuel Prayer Training. You will learn to develop life-changing positive memories and quiet your body so you can invite the Lord into those memories. From there you can enjoy interacting with him, seek guidance, receive healing and intercede for others. Overtime, experiencing God with you will rewire your brain to create a secure attachment to him.
First Class Dates: January 7th - March 25th (every Tuesday)
Time: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM (EST)
Your Best Years are Ahead of You Retreat
Are you interested in hosting or attending a retreat where you spend a few days away, resting and dreaming with God? We believe that next few decades can be the best years of your life! But it won’t happen if you drift along. Join Betsy Stalcup, Ph.D., founder and Executive Director of Healing Center International, Immanuel and HeartSync practitioner, and author of six workbooks and four memoirs, including Facing Life’s Losses, Immanuel Day, The Joy Starts Here Facilitator Workbook, and Living Relationally, for a journey of reflection, epiphany, and renewal.
We have crafted our retreat for people in transition. The retreat came out of a conversation Betsy had with God when she realized her husband was fatally ill, and felt that her life would be diminished when he went to the Lord. God promised her that the next few decades would be more nourishing and satisfying than all of her previous years. She began to catch a vision of the glorious plans God has for people as they age, people in transition, particularly those considering a change in career or retirement.
Our transformational retreat will be a combination of questions and conversations, interspersed with time to rest, reflect and journal. This is a time for us to reflect on who we are, what we love and what the Father is calling us to in this new season, in a beautiful place surrounded by caring people. This is a 4 or 5 day, in-person retreat. We already have the schedule planned, so would be interest in gathering some friends to help us host the next one?

In these sessions, we create a welcoming environment for listening, sharing, and offering support as we navigate our individual journeys together. We are here for you as you work through your loss, and everyone is welcome to join.
