The Icebergology™ Model of Christian Spiritual Formation

A free reference for your formation, teaching, and soul care work.

A Christian is one person with two natures. The Icebergology™ model is a framework for spiritual formation that helps you see what is happening beneath the surface of your behavior — the thoughts, emotions, and desires that either react to life's pain or respond to God's pleasure. Built on four decades of clinical and pastoral work, this free reference is designed for your personal use, for teaching, counseling, coaching, and small-group formation. Use it at your own pace, in your own context.

🎵 A Playlist to Walk With

The Icebergology of Life Formation Playlist — nine songs, one for each step of the framework. A companion to the Formation Reference. Listen while you read, while you pray, or while you sit with whatever the Spirit is surfacing beneath the waterline.
