THIS IS THE WAY
This is not a school you enrolled in. This is a Move of God you were drawn to. If you are here, you already know.
You did not find this. This found you. That is how moves of God work.
About the Ministry
This Is The Way is not a school. It is a Move of God. Ancient, unstoppable, and alive right now. Yes, there is a school inside it. Yes, there are teachings, tiers, and daily activations. But what you are standing in is bigger than any curriculum.
People do not stumble onto this by accident. They are drawn. Something in them recognizes the frequency before their mind can explain it. If you are reading this, that is you. Welcome home.
Founded by Daniel Thorness, this movement was built to be accessible to every person on earth. Affordable, online, and available across every nation and language. Because moves of God do not belong to the privileged few.
The Curriculum
Four Pillars of the Way
Sonship
Before you can walk the Way, you must know who you are. Sonship is the foundation. The revelation of your identity as a son or daughter of the Most High God. Not a servant, not a student, but an heir.
Universal Laws
Creation is governed by laws woven into the fabric of existence. Energy, frequency, and vibration. We explore these divine principles as keys to understanding how the universe operates and how to move in harmony with it.
Holistic Health & Healing
Your body is a temple. Sacred, intelligent, and designed for wholeness. We study healing modalities, the care of the physical and energetic body, and the integration of mind, body, and spirit into complete health.
Oneness
The ultimate journey is the dissolution of separation from Creator, from creation, and from one another. We walk into Oneness, dissolving the illusion of sin and division until all things are restored to their original unity.
The Guide
Meet the Founder
Daniel Thorness
Founder & Lead Teacher
Daniel Thorness is a son, a father, and a guide who has walked through the wilderness and come out the other side carrying something rare. A lived revelation of the Father heart of God.
His journey into Sonship was not born in a classroom or a seminary. It was forged through years of personal encounter, deep wilderness seasons, and the kind of transformation that only comes when a man stops performing for God and starts resting in who he already is. Daniel has walked through the fire of religion, the silence of the desert, and the restoration that follows. He carries every step of that journey into his teaching.
His vision for This Is The Way is simple and radical. That every person on earth regardless of background, nation, or season of life would come to know themselves as a beloved son or daughter. Not a sinner trying harder. Not a student earning favor. A son. Daniel teaches not as a celebrity or a platform but as a fellow traveler who has gone ahead and is calling others forward.
“The Way is not a doctrine to master. It is a life to enter.”
This Is The Way is more than a school.
It is a Move of God.
You were drawn here. You could not have arrived any other way.
A Move of God Has No Borders.
This Is The Way is available to every nation, every background, every season of life. Because moves of God do not belong to the privileged few.

Staff
Meet the Team
Jamie Shepherd
Ceremonial Facilitator & Spiritual Alignment Coach
A woman being shaped by fire. A voice being refined for the nations.
Jamie Shepherd serves as a Ceremonial Facilitator Intern, Spiritual Alignment Coach, and Retreat Ambassador within This Is The Way. She is in a nine-month development season receiving mentorship in prophetic ministry, breathwork facilitation, ceremonial spaces, and life coaching.
Jamie's training equips her to hold space with presence, compassion, and grounded neutrality. She is learning to guide others through breathwork, support participants in emotionally vulnerable environments, and walk alongside people in their journey toward wholeness, freedom, and spiritual alignment.
Her heart is not simply to facilitate experiences. It is to help people encounter God and walk in greater love.
“The greatest gift we can offer others is the level of wholeness we personally carry.”
Honored Officiate of the Month
Derrick Carter
Ceremony Officiate
Founder of Refine N Align. Specialist in 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. A man who has dedicated his life to helping people encounter the infinite.
Derrick Carter works with the sacred medicine of the Bufo alvarius toad — 5-MeO-DMT, known as the God molecule. In a single ceremony it can dissolve the ego, collapse the illusion of separation, and bring a person face to face with the infinite. Studies show lasting reductions in depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many who sit with Derrick describe it as the most profound experience of their lives.
Derrick partners with This Is The Way on retreats and healing intensives, bringing his expertise in plant medicine ceremony alongside our teachings on Sonship, wholeness, and the Kingdom. Together we create experiences that touch every dimension of the human person — spirit, soul, and body.
“Center your mind. Align your energy. Live on purpose.”
