Our Approach
The Framework for Your Breakthrough
Our approach is built on two core pillars: rediscovering primal strengths and implementing a proven organizational model.
Primal Resilience (The “Why”)
We believe resilience is not something you manufacture, but something you uncover. It's inherent. By focusing on the primal, foundational practices—how we eat, sleep, move, relate, pray, and find purpose—we help you access the strength you already possess to overcome adversity.
The DRIVEN Model (The “How”)
For the organization, we apply the DRIVEN model—a comprehensive framework focusing on Vision, Reasoning, Emotion, Grit (originally 'Driven'), Interaction (Collaboration), and Nourishment (Well-being). This provides a clear, actionable roadmap to move your church from being stuck to being strategically aligned and effective.
Our 10% Commitment
We believe that a healthy business, like a healthy church, should be generous. That's why Primal Resilience is committed to investing 10% of all gross revenue back into the Kingdom. 5% is dedicated to supporting gospel-centered international missions, and 5% is invested in providing pastoral respite care for leaders in need. When you partner with us, you're not just investing in your own resilience—you're extending that health and hope to others around the world.
Resilience
Resilience is the capacity to overcome obstacles and triumph over adversity to accomplish positive outcomes. We believe those positive outcomes describe God’s best for pastors, their families, and the ministries they love & lead.
Organizational Resilience
People face challenges every day. So do the churches they lead. In an era of rapidly accelerating change and near instantaneous communications, our churches seem to be constantly reeling. Churches can develop systems and tools to overcome and thrive in a dynamic and challenging world.
Primal
Picture a barrel, an old-school barrel made with wooden staves help together with a couple of brass rings. The barrel represents your capacity for well-being. Your well-being will establish the limit of your effectiveness. Each of the staves represent a part of your well-being: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual. Primal habits are crucial for increasing you overall capacity for well-being.
Person-Centered
Our approach is always person-centered. When we work together, we will be focused on helping you achieve YOUR goals, working with YOUR values and gifts, to fulfill YOUR dreams.
GREAT Coaching
The core of our philosophy is GREAT coaching: Growth through Resilience, Emotional Intelligence, and Achievement developed Together.
The core of our strategy is BARGIN: Begin (change requires a beginning), Authenticity (honest assessment is critical to healthy change), Relationships (you are not alone), Grit (the drive, passion, and perseverance to keep going), Intention (the vision to know where you are going and the values to always do the right thing), and Nourishment (your overall well-being).
Gold
All of this is expensive. But YOU are worth it. YOUR family is worth it. YOUR ministry is worth it. Invest in developing the capacity to overcome adversity and achieve EVERYTHING God has prepared for you.
