OUR APPROACH
Growth built for the way you actually live
A Formation Lab is a sequence of guided, hands-on learning experiences built around a single topic. Growth you build through practice, not just information you take in. Available three ways: on your own, through a virtual group meeting, or through your church.
INSIDE EVERY LAB
The same four-part design, every time
Regardless of format, every lesson in every Formation Lab moves through the same intentional cycle.
01-Teach
Teaching
A clear, focused explanation of the concept – short enough to stay engaging, deep enough to matter.
02-Tools
Practical Tools
The tools that allow you to take the concepts from the teaching and bring them to life.
03-Reflect
Reflection
Space to process what you’re learning and connect it to your own life and walk with God.
04-Apply
Application
A next step you actually take – a skill you carry forward, not information you file away.
THREE WAYS TO GROW
Choose the format that fits your life
The same design underneath – you choose how much structure and community you want around it.
FORMAT 01
Self-Study
Go at your own pace, on your own time — no group, no schedule, no pressure.
Whats Included
- A full set of guided video or written lessons, structured lesson by lesson
- A companion workbook for reflection and practice exercises
- Built-in application steps after every lesson, not just questions to answer
- Lifetime access — revisit any lesson whenever you need it

Your pace
One real-life application step before moving to the next lesson
FORMAT 02
Blended
Work through the self-study material on your own, then join a live Zoom session with your group for Q&A and practice. You get the accountability of a cohort, without a classroom feel.
Whats Included
- Everything in Self-Study, as your foundation each week
- A live Zoom session weekly with a small cohort (typically 8–15 people)
- Guided Q&A to work through what’s confusing or hard to apply
- Breakout activities to practice the skill together, in real time

Typical 10-week cohort
Week 1

Week 2 – 9

FORMAT 03
At Your Church
A ready-to-run formation experience for your congregation, small group, or ministry team.
Whats Included
- Full self-study materials, licensed for your group or congregation
- A facilitator guide so your leaders can run it with confidence, without building it themselves
- Optional live session plans, formatted for in-person small groups or classes
- Simple participation tracking your ministry team can use to follow along
