THRIVE
the training you missed growing up

THRIVE training helps you change your generation through replacing essential skills that even the best families may miss or overlook. Careful study of how the brain is trained and biblical principles for reaching a full life have led us to 19 skills that provide the full range of life functions for our minds and relationships. Each six-day track of THRIVE provides intensive skill training for your nervous system and spirit. THRIVE restores the 19 brain-based character skills all effective parents, counselors, pastors, leaders and missionaries rely on for strength and competence. If you feel pushed beyond your limits by someone else's anger, fear or even joy, for example, you know what it feels like when Skill 9 is missing. You can change patterns that were handed down for generations! Perhaps your parents were not fully equipped or lacked time to practice a skill with you! At THRIVE you receive the training you missed growing up, all for under $15 a training hour - including meals! It's hard to hire a coach, counselor or consultant for that price.

You may be disappointed by the results you have seen from seminars and even spiritual experiences in the past and you know something must be missing. You may have learned wonderful ideas, felt deeply moved, been inspired, anointed and even healed. Your desire to change has never matched your ability. There may be something missing that words and will alone cannot achieve.

Every day of THRIVE provides six hours of brain training to free you from fears and emotional struggles that waste your life. Experience Immanuel healing and relational circuit training. Develop the tools to help you grow. Build a joyful foundation for your brain and body. Everything from parenting to counseling depends on a mature, peaceful and synchronized nervous system. Practice connecting and quieting in a safe environment. THRIVE provides hands-on experience gaining capacity to handle distressing emotions and stay productive, efficient and wise. THRIVE provides a careful design for you to rehearse, apply and transform your joy capacity, quieting skills and speed-up your return to joy time. THRIVE helps you pass on the best of yourself to your children, grandchildren, church and community.

THRIVE offers three skill training tracks and one applications track. Every level of THRIVE requires preparation, training and practice.

Completing three books plus a study group comes before Track One. At THRIVE, your growth is directly related to how you synchronize your personal and relational rhythms. Track One provides solid joy practice and develops many of the 19 skills. Graduates of the first track must complete 52 training exercises in Basic THRIVE Skills and readings before Track Two. In Track Two you learn the six paths back to joy that change the time you spend feeling alone or stuck in painful emotions.

After Track Two, your training continues with 52 exercises in Intermediate THRIVE Skills: Mastering Returning to Joy and selected readings. Once in Track Three, you strategically learn to find and resolve pain at 4+ levels of the brain. You not only practice the 19 skills but you have the opportunity to train others. Again you have 52 Advanced THRIVE Skills exercises to practice for a year.

Track Four is where you discover the power of the THRIVE model. Apply the THRIVE strategies and 19 skills to life’s complex, tough problems. Application tracks are open to anyone regardless of previous training in THRIVE skills. Apply the THRIVE model and 19 skills to real family, community, ministry and workplace problems. Learn leadership with both your heart and brain. Network with trained people and add resources for your family, ministry, business or church. Past application tracks have focused on: borderline personality, narcissism, dissociative identity, healing redesigned, trauma, addictions, education and toxic organizations.

Each moment and interaction with others is your opportunity to practice the 19 skills. THRIVE strategically teaches the five levels of pain the brain knows so pain does not have the last word.

The above video clips provide you with an introduction to THRIVE - Changing My Generation, and includes an overview of the 19 Skills, interviews with previous attendees, a glimpse of the synchronized dance and a look at the goals of this material from the perspective of the authors.
