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

Building on the Immanuel Lifestyle curriculum, the 10-week Immanuel Encounter Guide Training program teaches you how to guide others through an Immanuel Encounter. Along with some teaching, each student has several opportunities throughout the course to practice guiding a session with feedback from a trained mentor. Prerequisite for Immanuel Encounter Guide Training: Completion of any one of the following, THRIVEtoday Track 1, Journey Group Level 1, or the Immanuel Encounter Lifestyle course will qualify you to participate in the guide training program.  This program was developed by licensed therapist and prayer minister Margaret Webb and is an Immanuel Prayer training based on the works of Dr. Jim Wilder and Dr. Karl Lehman.
