Be Transformed

learn to surface, test and reform mental models in your life and leadership.

In the CLC Primer you and a team will learn:

What Mental Models are and how they function.

In this unit you'll be introduced to mental models, aspects of systems thinking, and learn about how mental models impact your community. You will be able to grow your emotional and spiritual maturity by unearthing some of your own mental models and examining the roadblocks to change. You'll also begin to learn the process of unearthing and testing mental models.

The theology and biblical foundation of mental models.

In this unit you'll explore the Old and New Testaments through a mental models lens. Then, you'll reflect on how mental models reveal theology. You'll deep dive into the biblical mental models that form the foundation of CLC's ideology, and will consider the invitation of Romans 12.1-2, both personally and for your congregation. You will continue to grow your skills for personally unearthing and testing mental models, and take a step towards reforming some of them.

CLC's key mental models for personal and congregational transformation.

In this last unit of the Primer, you will be thoroughly introduced to the mental models that undergird our ideology and process. These include the mental models of:

Change
Mastery and Personal Responsibility
Transformational Learning
Adaptive Leadership and Skill Sets
Love
Authenticity
Courage
Integrity
Curiosity

How It Works

The process is flexible so that groups of churches and leaders can learn together, or on their own at their own pace, usually over 12 to 18 months.

Pastors go through the material on their own, then form and lead a team of key leaders through the same material. After your team has completed the Primer, you'll have the option to join the larger CLC community of learners and practitioners to continue to grow your adaptive leadership skills and support your community as you experiment.

Cost for involvement is based on a number of factors, so we ask that you contact us to enter into conversation, and to find out if there are options in your geographical region to join a learning community already formed.

Here are some key components of our process:

All Material is Online

You'll be able to access the videos and handouts whenever and wherever you want (as long as you have internet).

Handouts are all downloadable so you can print them to use offline. You'll have access to the videos for as long as you are enrolled in the Primer.

Communal Learning

Along the way, you'll be connected to the CLC community of learners and be supported as you put together a team of learners in your congregation.

Together, you'll surface, test, and discern with God what mental models need to be transformed in order for your community to pursue faithful and fruitful missional living.
