Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You

The Life Model is a unifying approach to basic discipleship, human maturation, spiritual formation, emotional/relational intelligence, counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child-rearing, and building healthy communities. Substance abuse recovery programs internationally are guided by the Life Model’s five principles. Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering. Missions have adopted the Life Model for restoring wounded missionary children. Almost every major ministry dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA uses the Life Model as part of their teaching.
