Partner Ministries
We love connecting with our partner ministries who are also helping others implement the Life Model in their daily lives! The Life Model is an idealized conception of God’s design for human maturity and transformation throughout life. Built on the three principles of multigenerational community, Immanuel lifestyle, and relational brain skills, the Life Model uses an advanced and proven set of relational, neurotheological, and whole-brain practices that produce lasting transformation into the image of Christ. Read more about the Life Model here.

Deeper Walk is a discipleship training organization that equips “people helpers” through their school of ministry and various events and resources.
Life Model Focus
Founded in 1988 by Mark I. Bubeck, Deeper Walk started as a series of counseling centers under the banner of International Center for Biblical Counseling with an emphasis on spiritual warfare. In the mid-2000s, they changed their name to Deeper Walk International and began to integrate the Life Model into their training, which led to their president Dr. Marcus Warner coauthoring three books with Dr. Jim Wilder (Life Model Works), and three books with Chris M. Coursey (THRIVEtoday). Deeper Walk is a ministry devoted to helping people identify and overcome the obstacles to a Deeper Walk with God. Their model is called Heart-Focused Discipleship, which is anchored in five core elements of the gospel: Freedom, Identity, Spirit & Scripture, Heart-Focused Community, and Mission. Deeper Walk integrates the Life Model’s three core elements in much of their training, emphasizing maturity and relational brain skills in their training on spiritual warfare and emotional healing.
