God designed our bodies to use fear to escape danger. God didn’t design our bodies to live in a constant state of fear. Living in fear, with our bodies surging with powerful hormones, all day long is killing us.
What is the solution?
A leader’s #1 priority is to create a healthy company culture. However, the numbers reveal that most struggle with this critical role. It’s no wonder only 1 out of 4 teams will reach their goals this year. So what’s the secret to a healthy workplace? What do successful companies do differently? Surprisingly, the best way to build a healthy culture is developing emotionally intelligent, mature relationships. If you want a blueprint that shows you the skills you need to attract, retain, and lead the best teams, then Rare Leadership has the answers.
This 4-hour online seminar took a closer look at the Life Model to equip you with tools for transformation. Hundreds of people joined us for our 1-hour webinar, Introduction to the Life Model: THREE Proven Practices for Transformation. This 4-hour online seminar took a closer and deeper look at the Life Model. We all need clear guidance to practices that will bring true transformation. Life Model Works has crafted advanced tools from the Bible and brain science for the express purpose of transformation into Christlikeness. These three proven practices are relational brain skills, awareness of God’s interactive presence, and multigenerational community.
If you hope to experience a more loving, joyful and sustainable interactive relationship with God and others; if you desire an empowering shift in your true identity in Christ and to be progressively conformed to the image of Jesus Christ; if you want to learn from an expert who has engaged these subjects for many years in the trenches of real-life struggles; then you need to learn to think with God.
Marlene Allen, Executive Director of Life Model Works, and Chris Caputo, Co-Founder of Hesed Discipleship Network, will have a conversation together around the subject of “Church Hurt” and discuss helpful insights and potential solutions to partner with Jesus to see His healing and transformation for Church communities in 2024 and beyond.
This presentation is designed to provide value for ministry leaders, and for anyone else interested in learning more about the following subjects:
As stories of Churches closing continue to increase, and leaders are anxious and overwhelmed, hear the stories of Jesus creating new collaborations and expressions of ministry to help Church communities survive and thrive in a post-COVID world.

Two reasons life isn’t working for many people…First, it is a real challenge to find authentic, spiritual community.
This is why millions of people are stuck in their relationship with God and others. God transforms people as they engage in authentic, spiritual communities (a.k.a. small groups).
We cannot become our best selves and live from the heart Jesus gave us apart from genuine relationships within a spiritual community.
Which leads us to the second reason people are stuck.
God transforms people as they engage in authentic, spiritual communities (a.k.a. small groups), when those groups are structured properly. Properly structured small groups are grace-based. They are not informationally driven, rather, they are relationally centered. In this setting, we develop deep, enduring relationships (a.k.a. attachments) that have the greatest impact on our identity and behaviors.
This webinar with Ray Woolridge and Ed Khouri will help you get unstuck, engage in authentic, spiritual community that is grace-based, and find a sustainable path forward for transformation.

We were created for life-giving, joy-filled relationships that last. Too often, we have missed the key element that makes relationships stick: its grace! Grace is profoundly relational, yet, in so many of our relationships we find grace is absent. In part, this is because we have failed to understand grace is more than forgiveness of sins and “unmerited favor”. There is something more profound we must understand.

God designed our bodies to escape danger. When our amygdala senses a threat, our bodies surge with powerful hormones which help us move like Superman: “Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Look, up in the Sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman!” Haha. Right, we all want to escape danger and overcome obstacles like Superman. Here’s the problem, the fuel of fear is also toxic. Many of us live our lives in fear… There is a better way: the fuel of JOY!

This began a journey that continued as Michel co-authored a book with Dr. Jim Wilder, The Other Half of Church, which Life Model Works is using to help churches nationwide! Michel Hendricks is Director of Life Model Consulting. He works directly with existing churches, ministries, and networks, to help them live out the Life Model. He will uncover half-brained solutions to whole-brain problems; discipleship practices that work, and those that don’t; how relational consulting works better than just reading a book and trying to apply it.
