Sessions Included

Session 1

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM MT

What is the Life Model?

with Dr. Jim Wilder, Ray Woolridge and Amy Brown.

The Life Model opens up a new way of life based upon love rather than fear. To lead a love-based life (cast out all fear) we need:

(1) a multigenerational community,

(2) active engagement with God based (increasingly) on love, and

(3) a full set of relational brain skills so we act and feel the way God created us to live (instead of avoiding our feelings).

We transform into the people God intended in the way the brain learns (and works best) by switching our brain’s motivation (fuel) from fear (avoidance) to the joy that attachment love creates.

Session 2

12:05 PM - 1:00 PM MT

Relational Brain Skills

with Amy Brown.

Relational brain skills include ways of interacting for optimal relational, personal, emotional, and spiritual health across the lifespan. These skills will set our relationships on a foundation of love, joy, and healthy connection, rather than fear, judgment and disconnection.

When our relationships are secure, we are motivated by what will bring us closer and improve our connection with each other and God, rather than living in a mine field of “don’t mention that,” or “steer away from this.” Fear prevents us from developing fully into God’s design for us.

Session 3

1:30 PM - 2:25 PM MT

Immanuel Lifestyle

with Michael Sullivant and Amy Brown.

The Life Model provides proven practices to enable us to heighten our awareness of God’s presence, even to live in a state where our thoughts are aligned with His thoughts. We call this thought-rhyming. As we bond with Him, we begin to think like Him. This bonded, synchronized awareness of God’s presence is called the Immanuel Lifestyle.

Session 4

2:30 PM - 3:25 PM MT

Multigenerational Community

with Michel Hendricks and Amy Brown.

Multigenerational community is God’s specially designed vehicle for the 3 pillars of transformation. In multigenerational community, relational skills are grown and shared, Immanuel awareness is practiced and tested, and each person is gently shepherded through the process of growing into their truest identity as a member of the community and the family of God.
