Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Life Model Works vision is that everyone who encounters the church is transformed into the image of Christ. Our mission is to equip existing networks to create identity transformation into the likeness of Christ in church and culture. Life Model Works is a non-profit 501c3 religious service organization building on the fifty-year legacy of Shepherd's House, Inc. which was founded in 1970 in Van Nuys, California as a counseling center. Life Model Works guides the development and application of full-brained practices that transform. We develop resources and products and provide services to individuals, churches, and organizations in furtherance of this mission.

  • During 2023, Life Model Works (LMW) continued creating and refining content to spread the Life Model to a broader audience. They spread the Life Model to hundreds of newcomers with their practical Life Model Study Groups, which encompasses Full-Brain Christianity based on the book The Other Half of Church. The taught the neurotheology of Escaping Enemy Mode in Race Relations at their annual conference, Transform 2023, with over 400 in attendance. They launched the audio version of their signature book, Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You. They provided training and resources to spread peace and joy to hundreds of Christian leaders in Asia, South America, Mexico, Uganda, and Europe. Throughout 2023 they continued to equip dozens of eager leaders in their newest year-long training cohort, Leader's Collective. Life Model Consulting supported churches and ministries with direct training, enabling them to change their organizational culture to a more relational way of living and working.
