This Leaders' Collective is co-lead by Life Model Ambassadors, Ray and Deborah Woolridge. Dr. Jim Wilder appears live several times during the year. Time: Leader’s Collective is a year-long cohort that meets twice a month for 90-minute sessions. The exact date and time of the meetings will be curated to the schedules of accepted applicants and instructors.  Preparation: Each session will be interactive and require spiritual, emotional, and intellectual preparation. There will be homework assignments that include reading Life Model books. You will need copies of LIving from the Heart Jesus Gave You and Transforming Fellowship (2024 edition). This is an advanced course. We recommend preparing by first taking other study groups and Life Model trainings.  Finances: The cost of Leader’s Collective is $299/month for 12 months, however, thanks to our generous donors, we regularly offer scholarships to accepted applicants who are eager to learn and grow.  Groups: You will be broken up into groups of three and required to meet with your sub-group regularly throughout the year. We have designed Leader’s Collectives to model the building of healthy group identity and provide the groundwork for relational sustainability and immunity to narcissism. As part of this model, each participant will also be expected to recruit three people outside the Leader’s Collective to share and process what you are learning, and five people to pray for you on your journey throughout the year.  Perfect for you if you want to... Learn how to lead fully present and engaged in your relationships in the day-to-day.  Build a culture of joy in your sphere of influence that creates an environment of “I’m glad to be with you!” and prevents burn out, discouragement, and cynicism.   Practice interactive relational skills and right-brain exercises that are proven agents of effective transformation, rather than just taking in more information.  Connect deeper to God’s presence even in the struggles of life and leadership.  Grow alongside other leaders who are eager to apply the Life Model in their work, relationships, and overall lifestyle.   Replace fear and anxiety motivations with love and joy as the fuel for your work.  ]]>https://lifemodelnetwork.org/event/leaders-collective-full-heart-whole-brain-becoming-a-fearless-leader-2Tue, 04 Aug 2026 22:20:16 +0000

What You'll Learn An interactive study that looks at how grow in wholeness, maturity, recovery, belonging, your heart, and living the Life Model. Gain an understanding of trauma, and the significance of spiritual family. Discover how to become your best self! You will need a copy of Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You for this group. There's a question I keep coming back to after all the times I've read Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You: What does it actually mean to live from the heart Jesus gave you, not the one shaped by what you've survived? I've been through this material many times. It still moves me. Most of us grew up learning what to believe. Very few of us were taught and shown how to actually become who we were made to be. That's the gap this book addresses. It takes maturity seriously as something the brain develops in stages, not just something you grow into by trying harder. It talks about what gets interrupted when we experience trauma, and what it looks like to keep growing anyway. It talks about spiritual family as something the soul genuinely needs, not just a metaphor. I love sharing Living from the Heart because the conversations go somewhere reading alone can't take you. We start recognizing ourselves in the material and then in each other. Something shifts. All sessions will be recording and available to participants.  *Recommended as a prerequisite before taking our other study groups as it is foundational to understanding the Life Model. Upcoming Dates 90-MINUTE LIVE SESSIONS ONLINE led by Deborah Woolridge Beginning at 2 PM Pacific Time on September 3, and continuing on September 17, October 8 and 22 and November 5 and 19.   ]]>https://lifemodelnetwork.org/event/escaping-enemy-mode-study-groupTue, 04 Aug 2026 19:14:04 +0000

We invite you to explore this idea with us.  Small Groups That Stick: Frame It with Joy is a two-hour online conference that will help you build the kind of community people want to keep coming back to.
