What is the 3H Model?

Leadership Isn’t About Power, It’s About Formation.

The 3H Model™ is a practical, biblical framework rooted in Deuteronomy 6:5: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

In this model, leadership flows from:

  • Heart – Who You Are (Character, Conviction, Compassion)
  • Head – How You Think (Wisdom, Vision, Clarity)
  • Hands – What You Do (Action, Discipline, Servanthood)

It’s not just theory. It’s the blueprint Jesus modeled, and it’s the path to sustainable, Spirit-led leadership.

Why the 3H Model Matters

When Leadership Lacks Formation, It Lacks Foundation. 

So many leaders burn out, plateau, or collapse under the pressure of doing ministry without being formed for it.

The 3H Model anchors you in:

  • Emotional and spiritual health
  • Biblical alignment and vision clarity
  • Effective, servant-minded action

When your heart, head, and hands are aligned, you lead with both integrity and impact.

How It Works

One Framework. Endless Applications.

The 3H Model™ isn’t just a concept, it’s a strategy for:

  • Coaching leaders and teams
  • Developing sustainable ministry rhythms
  • Writing sermons and training materials
  • Assessing leadership health and growth
  • Building church systems and leadership pipelines

From the pulpit to the planning table, this model can guide your growth.
