Jim Hockaday

Jim Hockaday was born again at the age of four. Experiencing the call of God at that time and the desire to preach, Jim led many to the Lord during his childhood. After graduation from Wheaton College in 1983, Jim traveled and ministered with various musical groups including: The Spurlows, Truth, and the Living Word Singers.

Jim attended Rhema Bible Training Center and graduated in 1988. Immediately following he joined the Rhema Singers and Band and traveled extensively with Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin for nearly seven years; during the last several years he had the management responsibility for the group. Jim was the coordinator of Prayer and Healing School for Kenneth Hagin Ministries, completing his tenth year in May 2004. He founded Jim Hockaday Ministries, Inc. in 1991, and now travels and ministers full-time in churches at home and abroad. Jim has authored several books, one of which is the best selling book, “Until I Come.”

Jim, his wife Erin (a 1991 graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center and member of the Rhema Singers and Band for two and a half years), and daughters Alli, Drew and Chloe reside in the Tulsa area.

June 26th, 2008 - JIM HOCKADAY AT UNBRIDLED FAITH FARMS!
Jim Hockaday; International speaker, author, former Prayer and Healing School Leader at Rhema Bible Training Center.

"If you can only attend one event at Unbridled Faith Farm, I implore you to let this be the one! Mr. Hockaday doesn't know it but he is our Mentor! We have read and reread all of his books and listened to his cd's and dvd's over and over again. His fresh way of looking at the Word has challenged us to step out into new realms of living in the miraculous. Signs and wonders, miracles and healings follow him where ever he goes; better still, he will teach you to how to walk in the the same type of experiences for yourself! If it weren't for his teaching and challenges in the way we think, Unbridled Faith Farm wouldn't exist today! He gave me real, very usable keys to awaken and live my dream! Please come; it is my best gift to you!"

On-Going Lessons and Opportunities for Growth

Riding Lessons and Equine Assisted Learning
Wednesdays-Saturdays 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Call to Schedule

Lessons offer a fun and compressive opportunity which includes physiology, safety around horses, exercise, grooming, food and feeding, equipment knowledge, lunging, exercises in the saddle, riding with others, indoor and outdoor trail riding, horse psychology and behavior management as well as stable management.

Y.E.E.E.H.A.A! (Your Ever Expanding Experience of Healing and Awakening Adventure)
A Support group for women that have been victims and want to learn to Thrive! A fun, relaxing evening that will encourage you to live outside of the "box" so that the "Dream" within
you will be awakened. It's a night designed to give us a mini vacation during the week so we'll be refreshed enough to keep 'running the race'!

1st and 3rd Thursdays 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

The Posse
Volunteers to attend one session before volunteering at the farm. Basic horse handling, grooming, horse psychology, rules, confidentiality and techniques for working with clients are among the topics covered.

Volunteers may attend as many Posse meetings free of cost as they would like. This will be a good foundation for working in a equine facility.

1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursdays 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Stable Kids
Each session will contain 6 visits to the farm. We will use equine assisted learning like you could a ropes course. Since the horse is a prey animal, it survives by accurately reading it's surroundings. They immediately react to any change in emotion or perceived threats. Partnering with them allows us to have intense "aha" moments.

These short term lessons cause long term and lasting effects. We will deal with topics like having healthy relationships, effective communication, proper bounderies. team building, thinking outside the box, self esteem, respect for others, finding their natural gifts and talents, awakening their dreams,
restoring hope, self care, and healthy ways to deal with anger.

Following the equine assisted learning activities we will do basic ground work with the horse. When the session is complete participants will be prepared to take riding lessons or join another STABLE KIDS session.

Each session has a different topic. Rides from several high schools will be provided.

1st, 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays Thursdays 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Unbridled Worship Around the Fire! - Various Worship leaders, live music, life changing Freedom!
