a desire for the King

Cultivating Intimacy with God

When you hear the word intimacy, what comes to mind? Like the Shulamite woman, we were made to sit under His shadow with great delight. In four weeks, you will look honestly at your desires, connect your natural relationships with authority to your relationship with God, and learn to dwell in His presence.

“I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”Song of Solomon 2:3

A Desire for the King cover, Through the Veil Series by Kia McCardell, Ed.S.: a young woman with long locs and gold bamboo hoops rests against Jesus beneath an apple tree, holding an apple.

For the woman who wants more of Him

Busy. Distracted. Hungry. Still drawn to Him.

Whatever has been competing for your heart, this course brings you back to intimacy with God. Not more striving: sitting under His shadow with great delight, alongside women who want Him above anything else.

Inside the Workbook

Three truths about the King you desire

Like a lily among thorns.Song of Solomon 2:2

You are His daughter and His love. In Hebrew, daughter, bat (baht), pictures a house of covenant: your temple is in covenant with the Father, who lives inside of you.

I sat down under his shadow.Song of Solomon 2:3

To sit down means to remain and to dwell. Prayer, worship, study of His Word, dance, and journaling are all ways to dwell in His presence.

I held him, and would not let him go.Song of Solomon 3:4

Like the Shulamite woman, grab hold of Him and bring Him to the place of conception. God wants to heal childhood wounds and the very root of every problem.

In Their Words

What God has done

From women who have walked through Destiny Chasers courses and books.

I came to this course expecting radical transformation and I was not disappointed. I learned how to identify the pain and the root cause. Once I identified the root, I was able to apply the tools I learned to heal.
Shelly SydneyWe Must Go Through It: Finding Purpose in the Pain
Girlfriend, get you this experience too! It was exactly what I needed. As Christians, we can settle into routine and become habitual in our walk. We are not necessarily sinning; we are simply stuck. This course invites you to surrender fully to God in a way that brings freedom, peace, love, and understanding. Trust the process and keep going. I did, and God showed me ME. I love this version of me.
Sherone ComegysWe Must Go Through It: Finding Purpose in the Pain
It gave me hope, I cried. I prayed not just for myself but for others as well and it felt good being able to share with other sisters, such as myself. I learned that what we go through in life we are not alone.
Course ParticipantWe Must Go Through It: Finding Purpose in the Pain
You made a mark on my life and I can only imagine the lives that will be impacted in the future. 🙏🏾
AnonymousWe Must Go Through It: Finding Purpose in the Pain
This is such a great dive into the world of what is reality for most intercessors. It’s a good depiction of how most intercessors are birthed from their own trials that they navigated, and overcame by the Grace of God! Kia does a phenomenal job at telling parts of her story in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there walking through it with her. 10/10 read!
ReaderAccess Granted: An Intercessor’s Handbook
Your book got me in tears, goosebumps, and ready to fall out in my office and I’m only on chapter 2!
ReaderAccess Granted: An Intercessor’s Handbook
Kingdom Foundations was such a beautiful, intentional experience! Kia created an environment rooted in Scripture that invited us to go beyond knowing about the Kingdom to examining how we actually live as citizens of it. The teaching, reflection and assignments challenged me, encouraged me and created space for deeply personal encounters with the Lord. There were moments when I felt so intimately seen by God. I’m grateful for Kia’s obedience and willingness to be a vessel through which the Lord could minister to His children. I would absolutely encourage anyone desiring to grow in their understanding of Kingdom living and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ to experience Kingdom Foundations. To God be ALL the glory!
Cierra E.Kingdom Foundations Training
Taking Kingdom Foundations with Dr. Kia was truly such a blessing and honestly so much more than I expected. This wasn’t just another course where you sit, take notes, and move on with your life. It was four weeks of being taught, stretched, challenged, poured into, and given the opportunity to actually apply what we were learning.

What I appreciated most was how biblically grounded everything was. We went deeper into hearing the voice of God, prayer and intercession, our identity in Christ, spiritual warfare, leadership, spiritual gifts, healing and deliverance, and what it truly looks like to serve and lead from a place of humility. But it wasn’t just teaching—there were practical activations, assignments, reflection, prayer, and moments where you really had to allow the Holy Spirit to deal with YOU.

There were teachings that caused me to examine beliefs, patterns, reactions, and areas of my own heart that I honestly may not have recognized otherwise. There were also moments that stretched me spiritually—learning to hear God more clearly, intercede differently, encourage others prophetically, and become more confident in what God has placed inside of me.

And Dr. Kia has such a beautiful way of teaching and pouring into people. She carries wisdom and discernment, but she also creates an environment where you feel safe enough to learn, ask questions, be challenged, heal, and grow. You can tell that her heart is genuinely to see women become whole, rooted in Christ, and equipped to walk confidently in whatever God has called them to—whether that is ministry, business, leadership, serving, or simply becoming the woman God is calling them to be.

I came into Kingdom Foundations already loving God and already serving, but I still walked away with a deeper understanding of Him, of myself, and of what it means to steward what He has entrusted to me.

If you know God is calling you deeper, if you know there is more in you, or if you simply want a stronger biblical and spiritual foundation for where He is taking you, I would absolutely recommend Kingdom Foundations. Come ready to learn, but also come ready to be stretched, challenged, activated, and transformed.

I am genuinely grateful that God allowed me to experience this course and so grateful for Dr. Kia’s obedience in creating a space to equip His daughters for Kingdom work. 🤍
CharisKingdom Foundations Training
Through Kingdom Foundations Training, God did more than teach me; He drew me closer to Him. As I continued learning, He spoke to my heart, brought healing to different areas of my life, and strengthened my faith. One of the greatest things I gained from this experience was becoming more sensitive to His voice and learning to recognize when He was speaking to me. I am grateful for all that God has done in me throughout this program, and I look forward to continuing to grow in my relationship with Him and build upon the foundation He has established in my life.
Course ParticipantKingdom Foundations Training
Completing the Kingdom Foundations class was a powerful and life-changing experience. It gave me the spiritual encouragement and practical direction I needed to stop doubting what God placed inside of me and begin moving forward with confidence. I walked into the class carrying dreams, questions, and responsibilities, but I completed it with greater clarity, stronger faith, and a renewed commitment to pursue purpose with God at the center. This class reminded me that when God gives you a vision, He will also provide the grace, wisdom, and strength to carry it out. I am leaving this experience encouraged, empowered, and ready to walk boldly into everything God has called me to do.

This taught me how to be a friend of God. The materials are a cleansing — you have to sit with them and soak.
