"Thank you once again for taking the time in your schedule to be a speaker at the Officer's Christian Fellowship Field Staff Conference.  You were a blessing to the group and to me personally as you helped train and equip us, all the while taking us deeper in our inner life in Christ."

"Though not a cardiologist, Michael Cusick is very adept at "heart surgery." Under his caring hand a person's heart is exposed and readied for the healing that can only come from the Great Physician. Michael is a warrior for wounded hearts-let him help you fight for yours."

- Howard Baker, Author, "One Thing," & "Soul Keeping: Ancient Path's of Spiritual Direction" & Director of Spiritual Formation, Denver Seminary 


"Michael Cusick is a voice of truth and love in the midst of too many confused, cowardly, and callous voices addressing the difficult topics of pornography, infidelity, sexual abuse, and sexual addiction. Through his ministry I have seen men and women in the abyss of despair, marriages bleeding and broken, and families in ruin offered understanding, direction, grace, recovery, and restoration. Restoring the Soul is a haven of hope and healing."

- Sharon Hersh, Licensed Professional Counselor, Speaker, and Author of Bravehearts; Mom, What's The Big Deal Abut Sex?


"Michael Cusick and Restoring the Soul have been a primary partner in our care for Christian leaders through soul care counseling intensives. Michael's care of souls, deep spiritual direction, and commitment to his own family flows from a heart that is continually willing to be changed and transformed. I am most thankful we get to serve our Triune God together."

- Wes Roberts, President, Leadership Design Group/Life Enrichment & Author, Support Your Local Pastor; Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church


"As a pastor, I journey alongside broken men and women whose thirsty souls won't be satisfied with superficial spirituality and quick-fix Christianity. But through the ministry of Restoring the Soul-an affiliate ministry of our church-Michael speaks to the heart of people about the heart of their brokenness. And, the thirsty discover the Living Water of Jesus."

- Aram Haroutunian, Pastor of Congregational Care, Lookout Mountain Community Church, Golden, Colorado


Restoring the Soul Alumni

"Participating in a soul care intensive was critical in helping me emerge from spiritual stupor and emotional deadness by identifying and dealing with unresolved issues from the past. It birthed hope in my heart after years of hopelessness and futility. I'm enjoying a new 'dance' of engagement with my wife, my heart, and my Lord."

- Missionary


"Following a leadership crisis where I was forced to resign my position, my wife and I were wounded leaders—weary, lonely, and not knowing what was around the corner. Not knowing what to expect when we arrived in Denver, we were glad to discover within the first forty-five minutes that we had found a friend who was willing to guide us through our turmoil. What we experienced was deep validation for who we were as God’s children and a sense of being lead each day into the Lord’s presence. Restoring the Soul entered the battle for our souls and taught us what it means to have a passion for God when the road is long and the journey is hard. It has now been well over a year and I can say that the soul care intensive with was a pivotal point in my life, marriage, and ministry."

- Pastor


"We engaged in a counseling intensive with Restoring the Soul at a time in our lives when our marriage of 23 years was going well, although we were at a crossroads vocationally. We came for a 'tune up' as we prepared for a new season in our lives-what we experienced was nothing short of life changing."

- Executive Director/Leadership Development Ministry


"The intensive with Restoring the Soul marks a major turning point in my spiritual life. Here, I recognized that throughout my life I've hidden my heart and believed lies about myself and God. I deeply experienced the love of Christ and through Him found freedom from bitterness and self-hatred."

- Youth Minister
