OUR MISSION

HELPING GOOD PEOPLE BECOME BETTER

Welcome to FreshImpact. We are dedicated to helping people discover how they can have more impact than ever before in their corner of the world.


We can help any person improve their character and live for the good of others.


We can help any group develop custom-made programs to improve the character of their people.


We offer the most unique and effective training resources you can find that target the development of twelve key character traits: courage, diligence, generosity, gratitude, honesty, humility, industry, integrity, perseverance, resourcefulness, respect and vigor..

HOW WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS AND LARGE GROUPS

Want to help your group or organization fulfill your mission? Your mission may be clear and compelling. But if you don’t have the right kind of people. Forget about it. You need people with good character.

Courage. Diligence. Generosity. Gratitude. Honesty. Humility. Industry. Integrity. Perseverance. Resourcefulness. Respect. Vigor.

But people of character can be hard to find. What if you don't have to hunt for them? What if you can shape the people you already have? That's where we come in.

We have worked with the military, colleges, schools and churches. In each case we respond to their desires and provide inspiration, instruction, consultation and resources that fit their needs. In many cases we create resources for their unique situation. For more about his custom approach, and how to explore the options for your group, click on the "Mission-Critical" image.

HOW WE HELP INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL GROUPS

Helping large organizations develop an effective character shaping culture can be challenging, but helping individuals and small groups is an easier matter. In fact, the work of character development can be a largely do-it-yourself enterprise, as long as people have clear guidance and top-quality resources. That's exactly what we offer through a growing array of video format processes, downloadable materials, workbooks and learning aids. Review the summary blocks below and click on them for more detailed information.

The "Transformative Focus Questions" Regimen

Most people want to be good people and even know how to be good people. But in the rush of daily life our encounters with difficult situations or people catch us off guard, and before we know it, we've thought or done something that isn't who we want to be. What can prevent that problem? Here's 10 questions that can have power to keep you heading in the right direction if you learn how to keep them in focus everyday. We'll teach you those questions and how to use them effectively.

The "Glass Door" Routine: Hope-inspired Character

NEW!! COMING SOON. Good character runs on hope. You've got to believe the effort to be a good person is worth it. How do you come by that hope? Especially when life can be so perplexing, complicated and even disappointing in a world that offers us so few things we can control. In this video course you will learn a routine that will inspire your hope at the start of every day.

Homemade Character

(BOOK NOW AVAILABLE. COURSE COMING SOON) Not too long ago, the character of children and young people was shaped by parents, schools, social institutions and media supporting traditional values and virtues. But primarily, most character development occurred within the rhythms and structures of home life. In this program we remind people of the basic ingredients that went into character development and how to recreate environments that re-introduce those ingredients into the mix of daily life.

HI. I'M DOUG NEWTON

I've had quite a life as a pastor, a private boarding school administrator, an award winning magazine editor, university trustee, seminar speaker, and  author of 24 books. I've learned a lot about what it takes to gain respect, trust and make an impact. Yes, it involves good use of skills you've honed. But it always comes back to good character. If you're interested, I'd like to pass on what I've learned that can help you have fresh impact in your corner of the world.

RESOURCES for the CHRISTIAN FAITH TRADITION

We not only want to help good people become better in non-religious settings, but we also want to help those who identify as Christians become better people so that they will have fresh impact in their corner of the world. That will happen when we concentrate on three realms of the Christian life: moral character, confident prayer and dynamic biblical insight. So we offer resources to assist Christian believers improve in each of those realms.

HOW CHRIST IS FORMED IN GOD'S PEOPLE

Adding the missing ingredient.

Most churches have some kind of discipleship plan. But few include character training that's vital to developing Christlikeness and increasing impact. In this course, we make the case for how vital character development is, what it is and how it occurs.

Let us help you make a plan. Virtually everything will improve.

ON PRAYER: The "Just Ask" Series

"Salvation paradigms" show the path to confident prayer.

Somewhere between timid petition and presumptuous claiming there lies a realm of prayer in which a person finds the confidence to ask and not doubt. In that place you discover the heart of God.

How can you find that place?

ON SCRIPTURE: The "Fresh Eyes" Series

Discover new insights in familiar passages for fresh impact.

What if the way you have always heard or understood a portion of scripture keeps you from seeing something new that could change your life and others?

Here's 31 techniques to approach the Bible with "fresh eyes."

Doug, please keep me posted.
