Discipleship That Transforms
Do you ever wonder why we don’t see a more radical transformation of people in our churches? Why do we see Christians doing good things, but not necessarily with good character?
We believe that most Christian churches and ministries desire to disciple their people. This is the central task that Jesus gave us. Where we often get stuck is: How? How do people change? How is character formed?
There is much misunderstanding on the “How's” of discipleship, and this is where Life Model Works Consulting specializes. You may be a pastor, missionary, ministry leader, or lay leader. Whatever your context, we come alongside your team to help you implement a discipleship that tranforms.
Exclusive. Personal. Practical.
Our time together is primarily training not teaching. Our brain is not designed to change primarily through receiving information (i.e. a book) but through relationships and intentional practice. We will give your team practices between sessions to cement what you are learning. Our goal is to help you experience the transformation of full-brain discipleship yourselves before helping you spread it to your people.
Our training will include:
Understanding the importance of joy (faces of grace) to our emotional/relational/spiritual growth and well-being.
Practicing the joy/quiet cycle that God designed in us.
Encountering God in places we can’t usually find Him
Learning to keep ourselves relational, even in distress
Changing our motivation from fear to joyful identity

minute sessions
A common format is to meet two times a month for 90-minutes. The first level of training takes four months. We offer three levels to cover the essential skills. We are flexible with how we deliver the training, and we can tailor it to your schedule. We recommend reading The Other Half of Church (Hendricks, Wilder) before the training begins. During the sessions, team members will practice relational skills with each other, as this is an ideal learning environment. In the time between sessions, you will have the opportunity to practice what you learn in the training. Attend the training sessions with an open and eager heart, complete the prep work and training exercises, and we will do the rest together!
