Making life work better
The Life Model & Life Model Works
The Life Model is an idealized conception of God’s design for human maturity and transformation throughout life. It is an advanced and proven set of relational and neurotheological practices made up of three principles: Relational Brain Skills, Immanuel Lifestyle, and Multigenerational Community.
Life Model Works is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization pioneering the application, research, and continued development of the Life Model. We guide churches and Christian groups in “full brain, whole heart” practices that equip the body of Christ to be authentically transformed and grow in healthy community.

Testimonies
Your stuff is always so timely with Spirit-led accuracy. I became a widow 7 years ago and leaned on my Christian friends to recover. A small group of us did the Thrive series 10–12 years ago, and we STILL talk about what we learned about JOY! Joy strength, built by dopamine, and how babies look away when full—I’ve shared that truth countless times. Learning to return to joy from negative emotions and realizing the Bible teaches us to live in joy—so few teach this truth!
