— A COURSE ON LIVING THE LIFE YOU WERE DESIGNED FOR
You were not made to survive. You were made to thrive.
A four-module course built on the PACE framework — Purpose, Attitude, Connection, Energy — that teaches the real architecture of a thriving life, drawn from Scripture and refined across decades of teaching.
Format: Self-paced video · Modules: Four · Available: May 26, 2026
THE COURSE
Designed to Thrive takes what Randy has spent a career teaching and puts it in your hands. Each pillar of the PACE framework is rooted in Scripture. Each one is practical. Each one addresses a specific place where most believers are leaking strength without knowing it.
This is not motivational content. It is not hustle theology dressed up in church language. It is the real architecture of a thriving life, taught by someone who has spent a career helping people build it.
THE PACE FRAMEWORK
Four pillars. One architecture.
PACE is the framework Randy developed and refined in boardrooms and
training rooms before he ever taught it as ministry. It works because it is
drawn from Scripture and tested in some of the most demanding
environments on earth.
Purpose
Why you are here. What you were made for. How to hear God clearly about the direction of your life — and how to stop chasing callings that were never yours.
Attitude
The inner posture that shapes everything else. How to renew your mind, break agreement with defeat, and live from victory instead of toward it.
Connection
Intimacy with God first. Then the relationships He has placed in your life. How to repair what is broken and build what is missing.
Energy
Stewardship of your body, your rest, and your spiritual vitality. You cannot pour from an empty vessel — and God never asked you to.
THE GOAL
Become a PACEsetter
Those who master all four foundations — Purpose, Attitude, Connection, and Energy — are PACEsetters. These are the people best positioned to succeed in life. Not because circumstances favored them, but because they built their lives on the right architecture.
Jesus was the perfect PACEsetter. He never drifted from His purpose. He gave thanks the night before His death. He listened fully to a stranger at a well and poured three years into twelve ordinary people. He drew His energy from the Father in solitary prayer.
The goal of Designed to Thrive is not merely to teach a framework. It is to form PACEsetters — men and women whose integrated lives make the goodness of God visible to everyone they meet.
THE CURRICULUM
Four modules. Forty Lessons.
Inside the four PACE pillars you will learn three sub-frameworks Randy has
refined over years of teaching — GROW, LEARN, and FREE — that form the
practical engine of change.
i. Purpose
Discovering What You Were Made For
The difference between a calling and a career. How to identify the unique assignment God has placed on your life. Why so many believers miss it, and how to find it again.
ii. Attitude
The Mind That Thrives
Breaking the thought patterns that keep you stuck. Practical tools for renewing your mind daily. How the GROW framework turns adversity into spiritual muscle.
iii. Connection
Love as the Operating System
Deepening intimacy with God. Repairing relationships without losing yourself. The LEARN framework for communicating in a way that heals.
iv. Energy
Stewarding Your Strength
The spiritual roots of fatigue. Reclaiming rest as worship. The FREE framework for sustainable flourishing in body, soul, and spirit.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything you need to build the life.
40 Video Lessons
Ten lessons across each of the four modules — Purpose, Attitude, Connection, Energy. Watchable on any device. Yours for life.
Four Workbooks
A printable, fillable workbook for each module — with assessments, diagrams, reflection prompts, and a covenant section to lock in your commitments.
PACE Profile Assessment
Module Closing Assessments with step-by-step remediation guidance, plus a Final Thriving Assessment that produces your complete PACE Profile.
Student Discussion
Each lesson includes a discussion area where students post questions, share insights, and walk through the journey alongside others taking the course.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for the tired-of-surviving.
Designed to Thrive is for the person who has read every personal
development book and still feels like something is missing — and for
the person who has never read one and is finally ready to begin.
This is for you if…
✦ You are tired of surviving and ready to be shown what thriving looks like
✦ You sense you were made for more than you are currently living
✦ You want practical, Scripturally grounded tools — not motivational fluff
✦ You are willing to do the work modules ask of you, week by week
✦ You want a framework you can come back to for the rest of your life
This isn't for you if…
✦ You are looking for prosperity-gospel shortcuts
✦ You want hustle theology with a Christian veneer
✦ You are not yet ready to set aside time each week to do the work
✦ You are looking for a passive watch-and-forget experience
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Taught by Randy Kay
Randy refined the PACE framework over decades — first in Fortune 100 boardrooms and biotech executive teams, then across thousands of pastoral conversations, then in the years following a clinical death encounter in 2005 that reshaped how he understood thriving altogether. He watched high-capacity people burn out in slow motion. He watched others build lives that did not break. The difference, he found, was not talent or even effort. It was architecture.
Randy is the author of Heaven Encounters and Heaven Stormed, host of the Heaven Encounters podcast (336,000+ subscribers, 100+ million views), and serves on the board of Sid Roth's Messianic Vision. He brings the precision of an executive, the rigor of a journalist, and the warmth of a pastor to his teaching.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you enroll.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHRISTIAN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES?
PACE is not a self-help frame baptized in Christian language. It was developed first inside high-stakes executive environments and refined across decades of pastoral work. Each pillar is rooted in Scripture and tested in real lives. The course's core conviction is that thriving is architectural — that the difference between people who flourish and people who burn out is not talent or effort, but the structure they build their lives on.
HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE TO COMPLETE?
Most students move through one module per month, working through the ten lessons and the workbook at their own pace, but the course is fully self-paced. You have lifetime access, so you can move quickly through it once and return to specific modules in seasons when you need them.
DO I NEED TO HAVE READ HEAVEN ENCOUNTERS FIRST?
No. Designed to Thrive stands entirely on its own.
WHAT IF I AM BRAND NEW TO THIS KIND OF TEACHING?
The course is built to meet you where you are. Each module begins with foundational teaching before moving into application. The workbook walks you through each step so you can move at your own pace without getting lost.
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
All enrollments are final. Take a moment to read through the curriculum and the “Who It's For” section above before enrolling. The course is designed to ask something of you — and to deliver something of substance in return.
SHOULD I JOIN THE ALL-ACCESS PASS INSTEAD?
If you want the full Heavenwise Academy - Encountering God, Designed to Thrive, Healing, and Grief - the All-Access Pass at $247 is the better value. It launches in late July when all four courses are live. If Designed to Thrive is the one calling to you right now, $97 is the right entry point.
