The 124 Framework
The 124 Movement is founded on a simple truth: joy is a spiritual strategy and a Kingdom command. Inspired by James 1:2–4, this framework is designed to help you navigate life’s trials, not by avoiding them, but by learning, growing, and becoming more whole through them.
We reject the idea that joy is scarce or reserved for perfect seasons. Instead, we embrace a mindset that sees joy as fully available—even in difficulty—because every challenge holds an opportunity for growth and refinement.
Our philosophy is built around three key principles: Joy is Abundant, Trials are Teachers, & Perseverance Refines.
-
Joy is Abundant
If trials are many, joy is more.
We reject scarcity mindsets and embrace joy as present in every moment—even the hard ones. Joy isn’t an escape from life’s challenges; it’s what allows us to face them with hope and strength. In our coaching, teaching, and mentorship, we help individuals and teams reclaim joy as a practice and a posture for every area of life.
-
Trials are Teachers
We’re not just enduring challenges; we’re growing through them.
Every trial, obstacle, or setback is an invitation to reflect, recalibrate, and rise. We guide individuals and organizations in reframing their hardships as opportunities for God to shape character, clarify purpose, and deepen wisdom.
-
Perseverance Refines
Perseverance is not about waiting out a storm but allowing God to shape us in the middle of it—so we emerge stronger, wiser, and more whole.
Our work emphasizes the kind of perseverance that aligns action with intention, helps people stay committed to their God-given purpose, and develop rhythms that cultivate peace, faithfulness, and joy along the way.
