Munchies Volume 2 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Fools: How to recognize and deal with them
How do you deal with the poor, the addicted, the abusers, the codependent, panhandlers or the man on the corner with the “homeless” sign? A wise response depends on whether they are fools or not. Few people have ever thought about the destructive effects of helping fools or why God forbids helping fools. Both Testaments have much to say that can save you grief.
Munchies Volume 1 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Some of the concepts that rocked the recovery world in 1997 get updated and revisited in this collection. The series on old people demonstrates that God’s plan for maturity looks very different from what we usually find in society or in the church. Immature leaders block healing for others and often hurt themselves and their families.
Munchies Volume 19 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Western Christianity has been deeply influenced by two factors: 1) medieval psychology that is no longer believed by anyone but was used to form theology and, 2) Voluntarist philosophy makes "choices" and "right thinking" the solutions to all human and spiritual problems. Voluntarist philosophy and medieval psychology have had an intense effect on how the Bible has been translated into English and no where is this more obvious than when the Bible speaks of the human body. In this series Wilder looks at the functions of the 10th cranial nerve that controls our relationship functions and bodies and reveals some surprising truths about what our bodies tell us about God and relationships.

Munchies Volume 3 (audio) by:Jim Wilder The Life Model and neuroscience speak of joy but in the Greek language of the New Testament, the word for “joy” is the feminine of the word for “grace.” Learn how the relationship between grace and joy become the foundation for Christian community. In this volume you will also find a series on marriage and joining a spiritual family.
Munchies Volume 7 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Suffering well as a Christian community, seeing others through God’s eyes, why Paul did not mean what we usually think in 2 Corinthians 4:17 takes us from manna in the wilderness to Daffy Duck. What did Paul mean by calling all the suffering on earth “light” and momentary?
Munchies Volume 8 (audio) by:Jim Wilder The "sark" also called the "flesh" is quoted in Scripture and sometimes mistaken for God's thoughts. We can also read Scripture with our flesh and get the wrong message as well. God does not prevent us from becoming overwhelmed or broken but can keep us from sinning. Explore some of the difference between Old and New Testaments. Discover the transformations that God built into life and maturity along with those that are part of salvation from what has gone wrong in our lives.
Munchies Volume 4 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Toxic hope and how to give up the hopes that are killing you leads the parade of interesting topics collected in this volume. What to do with the command to “Honor your father and mother” if parents were abusive, criminal and dangerous is another gem. Jesus’ puzzling command to sell your cloak and buy a sword also makes sense in the context of getting rid of yeast for Passover and neuroscience. You will see life differently after this series on acting like yourself.
Munchies Volume 6 (audio) by:Jim Wilder The book of Judges explains how God uses the strange characters in life and why some unsavory characters still do important things for God. This interesting view of how leaders fail and fall invites us all to develop a new view of the world by looking through our hearts.
Munchies Volume 9 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Wilder challenges the pat answers that most Christians have on divorce and gives the class some actual test cases to try their hand at applying scripture. The series includes several great lessons for seniors and finishes with a new look at rocks that will have you rethinking how you read scripture - even the common stories like David and Goliath.
Munchies Volume 10 (audio) by:Jim Wilder This volume together with volume 12 examine how memory, the brain and emotional healing intersect. What does God ask us to remember to prevent trauma or recover from being terrified. The answers may surprise you.
Munchies Volume 11 (audio) by:Jim Wilder The teaching on the weak and the strong is the heart of the Life Model.
Munchies Volume 12 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Immanuel Healing was developed by Dr. Karl Lehman based on his experiences with Jesus in healing sessions and the theological studies by Charlotte Lehman on "God with us" - the meaning of the word Immanuel. In these lessons Dr. Wilder takes us from one end of Immanuel experiences to the other. The last lesson leads to a startling conclusion about the Immanuel presence of God and why the children of Christian leaders often go so far from the faith of their parents.
Munchies Volume 13 (audio) by:Jim Wilder Belonging is one of the most problematic topics in the Life Model teaching. First, because most people assume that belonging is something that others are supposed to do for them and no one can find people who can give them enough belonging. Second, the "seeker sensitive" church movement assumed that people who come to church are seeking belonging only to find out recently that finding belonging is not what attracts a crowd. Wilder demonstrates in this series that belonging is something people create around them until they are damaged by type A or B traumas. Even the weak and the stranger are expected by scripture to create belonging around them. Creating belonging around you is your normal function. Restoring our natural function is object of the Thriving Recover Your Life class called "Belonging." These lessons give the biblical background for our program design.
JIMTalks Vol 28-Food and Attachment With God (audio) by:Jim Wilder Both the Old and New Testaments use strong words for attachment with God that suggest we are to “glue” ourselves to God. Brain science says that joy, peace, appreciation and, oddly enough, being fed are forms of strengthening attachment. While most Life Model students are familiar with joy, peace and appreciation this volume takes us deeply into how God presents Himself as the “one who feeds us” across the Bible. When attachment goes wrong we become attached to the food instead of to the feeder. Attachment to food instead of the feeder is common in the books of Moses and the stories of Jesus. Jesus goes so far as to use food as part of healing traumatic memories. Salvation is not so much about escaping hell as about forming this new attachment with the God who feeds us. Did you ever consider that the closest thing to “milk and honey” is ice cream? When food becomes our attachment the joy is soon diminished. Learn to use your food to attach to Joy again.
JIMTalks Volume 29 Weakness and Strength (audio) by:Jim Wilder Many things we consider strengths are considered weaknesses in scripture leading to confusion about what develops strong Godly character. These JIMTalks lay out the importance of weakness in the development of strong character. Strength and weakness are central thoughts in the Joy Starts Here book and these lessons deepen our understanding of how we live with weakness.
JIM Talks Vol. 30- Iniquities (audio) by:Jim Wilder This extensive study on iniquity will help you see the Bible through new eyes. Scripture is careful to distinguish between iniquity, sin and transgression in many Old Testament Hebrew passages but the New Testament Greek does not provide equivalent distinctions. Many Christians now consider the terms interchangeable because they all represent something gone wrong. This would be the same as assuming that cancer, broken bones and Down’s syndrome were all the same thing and required the same solution because they are medical conditions. Iniquity refers to those things that deform our development and the Bible gives special attention to “workers of iniquity” – those who produce deformities in others. Come learn what it meant when the prophet Isaiah said of Messiah, “The LORD has laid on him the iniquities of us all.”
These teachings back up the theology and teaching on iniquity for the Joy Starts Here book.

Bonding and Dissociation 3 DVD Set (video) by:E James Wilder These breakthrough presentations by Dr. Jim Wilder brought the “decade of the brain” and the work of Dr. Allan Schore to the trauma recovery field. It was obvious from that point on that Dissociation and Borderline disorders both arose from trauma, however dissociation could happen in one generation while borderline required two generations of trauma. The implications for treatment and recovery are spelled out in these three videos. The principles outlined in these three DVDs have become central to the 19 personality formation skills taught at the THRIVE Changing My Generation Conference. These Live Model principles also form the backbone of the Thriving Recover Your Live program for traumas and addictions.
