The Need

Emotional resilience is a critical necessity in today’s culture. Recent neuroscience research has uncovered a strong link between joy and resilience, yet many individuals experience a gap in relational joy that undermines their emotional well-being. We aim to bridge this joy gap in three key areas:

The Solution

How Joy Centers Work

The Joy Center aims to counter rising rates of depression and anxiety by providing effective resources for building emotional resilience and fostering healthy relationships. Through these efforts, the Joy Center will significantly strengthen families and our community.

What sets the Joy Center apart is its comprehensive approach. It offers transferable joy training through coaching, classes, and group activities.

Our training programs will be based on the work of THRIVEtoday—an organization that has been training brain-based joy skills for over twenty years—and on the following books and the exercises found in them:

The Timeline

Phase One: Build

Goal: Fund start up costs for the Joy Center and other discipleship training efforts.

Plan: Lay the foundation needed to start strong.

  • Raise funds.
  • Hire staff.
  • Create/test programs.
  • Form partnerships.

Phase Two: Launch

Goal: Launch Joy Center

Plan: Open two core initiatives.

  1. Joy Training – for marriage, parenting, workplaces and relationships in conjunction with the NWI Hub Coalition
  2. MicroCommunities – Multiply new micro-communities in partnership with local churches.

Phase Three: Multiply

Goal: Create a reproducible system of joy training that can be used in churches, community centers and other non-profits
