7. Mentoring Programs
General Program Participation Acknowledgment: Participation in each of the following mentoring programs is subject to the Financial Commitment and Program Participation provisions of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that enrollment and participation in any mentoring program described below, including Gold Mentoring, Frankincense Mentoring, Myrrh Mentoring, and Individualized Ministering, is entirely voluntary and undertaken of the Participant's own free will.
A. Gold Mentoring
a) Gold Mentoring is an invitation-only mentoring experience offered to participants who have journeyed within the mentoring environment over time and have demonstrated a consistent level of engagement, trust, and relational continuity.
b) This stage of mentoring reflects a deeper level of connection, flexibility, and collaborative engagement between Mentor and Mentee. It is designed to support ongoing spiritual development in a more personalized and responsive mentoring rhythm, allowing for a broader and more fluid expression of mentoring, ministry, and discipleship.
c) Gold Mentoring may include any and/or all of the services outlined in section 5. The structure of engagement is intentionally flexible and may include a combination of one-to-one sessions, group participation, night watch sessions, and other mentoring opportunities as they arise.
d) The scope, frequency, and format of mentoring within Gold Mentoring are not fixed and may vary in accordance with the participant’s journey, established relationship, and scheduling considerations. This allows for a highly personalized mentoring experience that is responsive, relational, and led with intentional flexibility. Participants designated as being on “night watch” will remain in that status for the duration of their placement, unless otherwise determined by the program.
e) Gold Mentoring is designed to prioritize relationship over rigid structure, allowing space for organic mentoring flow, deeper conversation, and responsive spiritual guidance as needed.
f) Gold Mentoring fees reflect the ongoing investment of time, prayer, preparation, guidance, relational engagement, and mentoring support provided throughout the mentoring journey.
g) Participation in Gold Mentoring is based on a flexible and individualized approach as explained in the June 2026 group meeting.
h) There may be certain months during the program when participants are invited to attend group mentoring sessions in place of an individual session. These group gatherings are intentionally designed to provide teaching, spiritual impartation, encouragement, ministry, and shared learning experiences that support the same core objectives as the one-to-one sessions.
B. Myrrh Mentoring
a) The Myrrh Program serves as an introduction to mentoring and personal spiritual development and may include any and/or all of the services outlined in section 5. This may include individual mentoring sessions, group mentoring, Night Watch participation, teaching opportunities, and other mentoring activities as determined appropriate within the participant's mentoring journey.
b) Because of the foundational nature of this program, there is a greater emphasis on one-to-one mentoring sessions. These individual sessions provide a dedicated space to explore personal history, family and generational patterns, foundational beliefs, healing, spiritual growth, and other deeper issues that may benefit from focused attention and support.
c) Participation within the program is guided by the participant's season of growth, readiness for various forms of engagement, and the overall objectives of the mentoring process. The structure of the Myrrh Program is intentionally flexible, allowing for a combination of individualized and group experiences designed to establish strong spiritual foundations, personal growth, healing, discipleship, and ongoing development.
d) At the same time, there may be certain months during the program when participants are invited to attend group mentoring sessions in place of an individual session. These group gatherings are intentionally designed to provide teaching, spiritual impartation, encouragement, ministry, and shared learning experiences that support the same core objectives as the one-to-one sessions.
e) Participation in a group session should not be viewed as a reduction in mentoring support or value. Rather, it offers a different but equally impactful opportunity for growth, allowing participants to benefit from collective wisdom, shared experiences, community encouragement, and teachings that are relevant to the entire group.
f) The program structure will therefore include a combination of individual and group mentoring experiences, with each format serving a unique and valuable purpose in the participant's overall development and mentoring journey.
C. Frankincense Mentoring
a) This program is designed for participants who desire to grow and learn within a group mentoring environment. Frankincense Mentoring focuses on shared teaching, spiritual impartation, community encouragement, prayer, discussion, and collective learning experiences.
b) Participants benefit from the wisdom, insights, and support that emerge through engaging with others on a similar journey.
c) While this program does NOT INCLUDE regularly scheduled individual mentoring sessions as outlined in section 5, it is intentionally designed to provide flexibility and meaningful opportunities for connection and growth through a variety of group-based experiences.
d) Participants may be invited to join larger group mentoring gatherings and/or smaller group sessions. Regular meetings will include students from the Myrrh Program or other mentoring groups when appropriate. These shared experiences are intended to foster community, broaden perspectives, encourage relationship-building, and provide access to teachings and ministry opportunities that benefit the wider mentoring community.
e) In addition, participants may receive invitations to participate in conferences, retreats, ministry trips, special events, workshops, prayer gatherings, and other mentoring-related activities as opportunities arise as outlined in section 6. Participation in such events may vary based on availability, scheduling, capacity, location, and the nature of the event and will be at additional cost and is not included in the mentoring fee.
f) Frankincense Mentoring offers a flexible and relational mentoring experience that remains deeply impactful and rich in spiritual growth, providing participants with ongoing opportunities for encouragement, development, connection, and engagement within the broader mentoring community.
D. Individualized Ministering
a) This form of ministering is based on individual need, urgency, and discernment within the mentoring and ministry context. Availability is offered on an as-needed basis and at the discretion of the Company. Fees are determined by the Company and may vary depending on the nature, scope, and timing of the ministering provided
b) Where ministry is requested for minors (18 years of age or less), such participation is initiated voluntarily by the parent or legal guardian, who acknowledges responsibility for the decision to engage in such services.
c) By participating in individualized ministering, the participant acknowledges and agrees that Mentor, together with Sonship Creative LLC, Sonship Creative Global LLC, Sonship 1000 LLC, and their respective associates, affiliates, managers, members, volunteers, heirs, predecessors, and successors (collectively, the “Released Parties”) are released and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law from any claims, liabilities, or damages, including physical, emotional, or psychological injury, arising out of or related to participation in the ministry services.

F. The Mentee understands that the mentoring calendar includes designated periods during the year when individual and/or group sessions may not be scheduled, including the months identified elsewhere in this Agreement for family time, ministry travel, rest, conferences, or administrative planning.

C. If a Mentee who has been permitted to continue monthly payments fails to make any payment when due, the Company reserves the right to assess a late fee of $100 (one hundred) per missed payment and/or declare the entire remaining unpaid balance immediately due and payable without further notice.
D. Upon withdrawal, cancellation, termination, or discontinuation of participation by the Mentee, access to mentoring sessions, group meetings, Night Watch sessions, conferences, retreats, communications, participant groups, online platforms, teaching materials, recordings, and all related library or membership benefits may be immediately suspended or terminated at the discretion of the Company.
E. The Mentee acknowledges that any continued payment obligation following withdrawal is strictly for the satisfaction of financial commitments incurred under this Agreement and does not entitle the Mentee to continued participation in, or access to, any mentoring services, content, or community benefits unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company.
F. Failure to maintain timely payments may result in suspension of any remaining access privileges until all outstanding amounts are brought current.
G. Notwithstanding withdrawal, the mentoring relationship is intended to remain relational in nature. Withdrawal from active participation does not necessarily constitute permanent separation from the broader mentoring community.
H. At the discretion of the Company and/or the Company’s Authorized Representatives, former participants may be invited to attend future events, gatherings, conferences, or ministry activities, and may also be considered for re-enrollment in a future mentoring cycle where appropriate.
I. Participants are encouraged, where possible, to remain connected to the mentoring journey during such seasons, as continued engagement may provide encouragement, clarity, support, and spiritual guidance during times of transition.

1: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
In the course of engaging with this ministry, community, and its leadership, individuals may become privy to sensitive information of a personal, spiritual, or organizational nature. The protection of such information is a matter of sacred trust and covenant responsibility. Safeguarding this information is essential to maintaining safety, integrity, and mutual respect among all participants.
Accordingly, the following provisions define and govern the handling of Confidential Information, ensuring that it is managed with the highest degree of respect and discretion.

Important Clarification

Public availability does not remove the expectation of discretion, respect, and confidentiality within this community.
Friendship and Community
Nothing in this Covenant is intended to limit healthy friendships, fellowship, or ordinary conversations within the community. Relationships should remain natural and life-giving.
Confidentiality applies specifically to sensitive, private, or entrusted information. General discussions, shared experiences, and respectful conversations are not restricted, provided they are carried out with discretion, kindness, and integrity.
2: USE & NON-DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS
Use of information should honor the purpose of the Community. The Recipient agrees to the following:
• Maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence.
• Limit disclosure only to Representatives with a legitimate “need to know,” who are informed of these confidentiality obligations.
• Not disclose, reproduce, share, or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to participate in or benefit from the Disclosing Party’s programs, services, or business.

5. NON-DISPAREAGEMENT
• Recipient agrees to uphold the reputation and integrity of the Disclosing Party and its community. Recipient shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish any statements (written, verbal, digital, or implied) that defame, disparage, or cast the Disclosing Party, its leadership, team, services, content, or community in a negative light.
• This obligation applies during and after the term of this Agreement and survives termination of participation or services.

• Enforcement: A breach of this provision may result in immediate removal from the community and related programs, in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement.

The Recipient acknowledges the trust, time, and resources invested by the Disclosing Party in building this community and agrees to honor that investment by refraining from actions that could undermine it.

• Cross-Reference: The Recipient further acknowledges that, as reinforced in Section 9 (Term and Survival), certain obligations related to confidentiality, intellectual property, and community trust shall survive indefinitely beyond this twelve-year period.

• Specifically, the Recipient acknowledges that:

o Media permissions (including image and likeness releases granted to the Disclosing Party) survive indefinitely and may not be revoked retroactively.

• These permissions and releases survive indefinitely and are not limited by the twelve (12) year term of this Agreement.
10. DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY
Because this community is built on trust and respect, the Recipient acknowledges that privacy and data protection are essential to safeguarding not only the Disclosing Party but also its family members, affiliates, and the broader community.

As part of this trusted community, each Recipient acknowledges that the strength and integrity of the Disclosing Party’s work depends on protecting its intellectual property, business ventures, and creative works. This section exists to preserve that integrity and to ensure that all participants respect the ownership of what has been built and what may yet be developed.
• Ownership of Intellectual Property: All intellectual property, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, designs, products, written works, videos, teachings, business concepts, and other creative works of the Disclosing Party (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party.
• Nothing in this Agreement grants the Recipient any rights or licenses to such Intellectual Property, except for the limited right to use Confidential Information solely for the permitted purposes of participation.
• Works Created for the Disclosing Party: Any materials, content, designs, inventions, products, or other works created by the Recipient (or by any team member, volunteer, contractor, or participant) specifically for, on behalf of, or at the request of the Disclosing Party shall be deemed “work made for hire” and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party.
• To the extent any such rights do not automatically vest in the Disclosing Party, the Recipient (and any creator) hereby irrevocably assigns all right, title, and interest in and to such works to the Disclosing Party, effective immediately upon creation. No additional compensation, royalties, or approvals shall be owed unless expressly agreed to in writing.
• Derivative Works: The Recipient shall not, without prior written consent, create, adapt, modify, or distribute any derivative works based on the Disclosing Party’s Intellectual Property or business ventures.

• Business Ventures: The Recipient acknowledges that the Disclosing Party operates multiple ventures—including but not limited to ministry programs, mentoring, educational resources, product-based businesses (such as the candle company), travel services, and other commercial endeavors.
• All intellectual property, business strategies, trade secrets, branding, client relationships, and goodwill connected to these ventures (current or future) remain the property of the Disclosing Party.
13. COMMUNITY RESPECT & NON-CIRCUMVENTION:
• While ministry itself cannot and should not be restricted, the Recipient agrees not to misuse, reproduce, or exploit the Disclosing Party’s names, titles, programs, or proprietary ventures without prior written consent.
• For clarity, any attempt to replicate, bypass, or independently exploit the Disclosing Party’s intellectual property or business ventures shall be treated as a violation of both this section and the Non-Circumvention and Exclusivity provisions of this Agreement.

• Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Disclosing Party, its affiliates, representatives, and covered parties, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:
o Recipient’s breach of this Agreement,
o Misuse, disclosure, or misappropriation of Confidential Information, or
o Any claim by a third party resulting from Recipient’s actions or omissions.

• Permitted Sharing: Genuine, non-commercial sharing such as posting about events, experiences, or learnings on social media is welcome, provided such posts are respectful, accurate, and not misleading. However, no post may suggest partnership, endorsement, or official representation without written authorization.
