Icebergology™ Facilitator Training
A discernment and apprenticeship pathway for those called to steward Icebergology™ in churches and communities.
Facilitator Training exists for men and women who sense a call—not merely to personal growth—but to walk patiently with others as they practice Icebergology™ in community.
This is not advanced content access.
It is a season of formation, discernment, and responsibility.
Why Facilitator Training Exists
Icebergology™ Life Groups are planted locally in churches and communities. They require facilitators who are:
• grounded in daily personal practice
• fluent in the shared language of the model
• able to guide without fixing
• willing to serve rather than perform
• committed to Christ-centered formation
Facilitator Training exists to prepare leaders who can steward the Icebergology™ framework faithfully, humbly, and wisely.
What This Training Is
(and Is Not)
Facilitator Training is:
• a weekly apprenticeship
• a leadership formation space
• preparation for planting and leading Life Groups
• guided practice in posture, language, and discernment
Facilitator Training is not:
• personal therapy
• group coaching
• a place to process your own story extensively
• a credential you earn automatically
This pathway exists for those willing to be shaped before leading others.
Who Should Apply
You should apply for Facilitator Training if you:
• are actively practicing the Icebergology™ Daily Practice
• understand the posture and language of the model
• desire to lead Icebergology™ Life Groups in a church or community
• are willing to submit to formation and feedback
• value patience, humility, and faithfulness over influence
You should not apply if you are primarily seeking:
• personal support
• weekly emotional processing
• coaching access
• rapid certification
This training is about others, not yourself.
What the Training Involves
Facilitator Training meets weekly and follows a consistent rhythm focused on leadership formation rather than content delivery.
Training includes:
• guided reflection on facilitation posture
• learning how to lead groups without fixing or rescuing
• case-based discernment discussions
• practice using Icebergology™ language clearly and responsibly
• preparation for planting Life Groups in real contexts
Participation requires attentiveness, humility, and consistency.
Commitment & Expectations
Facilitator Training requires:
• weekly participation
• ongoing personal daily practice
• readiness to lead locally when discerned
• respect for confidentiality and group boundaries
• alignment with Icebergology™ theology and framework
This is a season of discernment.
Not everyone who enters will be affirmed to lead—and that is part of the integrity of the process.
From Personal Practice to Shared Formation
Many who begin the Daily Practice later choose to participate in:
• Formation Circle — a monthly shared reflection gathering
• Icebergology™ Life Groups — weekly community practice in churches
• Facilitator Training — for those called to lead and multiply groups
The Daily Practice prepares you for each of these—but stands on its own as a complete and meaningful rhythm.
From Training to Deployment
Facilitator Training prepares individuals to lead Icebergology™ Life Groups.
When Life Groups are deployed in churches or organizations, they operate under an institutional license, not an individual one.
Training does not automatically grant permission to represent Icebergology™ publicly.
Licensing and deployment occur later, in partnership with churches and leadership.
Training Access
Facilitator Training is offered as a paid, application-based pathway.
Pricing and cohort details are shared upon acceptance, ensuring clarity and mutual commitment before participation begins.
This protects both the integrity of the training and those who participate.
Icebergology™ grows slowly—through trust, patience, and shared practice.
If you sense a call to walk with others in this way, we invite you to apply prayerfully.
Applying does not obligate you to participate.
It begins a conversation of discernment.
We are not looking for many facilitators.
We are looking for faithful ones.
