Dr. Stan Archie
A Workbook For Small Groups and Individuals
by Dr. Stan Archie
Why do you react the way you do?
Why does correction feel threatening—or easy?
Why do you crave closeness… or avoid it?
Long before you made adult decisions, four developmental windows shaped how you experience life:
• Attachment – How you learned safety
• Exploration – How you learned to manage freedom within boundaries
• Belonging – How you learned where you fit
• Permanence – How you learned to bond and commit
These stages formed the internal conclusions that now influence your relationships, discipline, identity, and emotional patterns.
This workbook guides you through each window with clear explanations, reflection exercises, small group discussion prompts, and practical assessments. You will uncover what shaped you, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and follow a structured 90-day plan to build healthier responses.
You are not responsible for what formed before awareness.
But you are responsible for what continues after awareness.
The windows may have closed.
Growth has not.

a guide to parenting the whole child and while healing from your parenting wounds
Your child is being formed right now. The only question is — by what?
Parenting on Purpose gives parents a clear, clinically grounded, faith-informed developmental map for raising children through the four critical windows of human formation: Attachment, Exploration, Belonging, and Permanence. Each window opens. Each window closes. What happens inside it shapes who that child becomes — and who they will parent.
Break The Silence
Nobody gave men the instructions.
They were handed a picture on the box — what a man is supposed to look like, how he should behave, what he should suppress. But the instructions for what is actually inside him? Never came.
ManTalk: Breaking the Silence gives men the instructions.
Built on thirty years of pastoral ministry, behavioral science, and clinical practice, Dr. Stan Archie introduces the ACE framework — the three predispositions that shape everything a man does. Not flaws to be corrected. Equipment to be understood.
The conversation most men have never had.

The Church was never designed to gather people. It was designed to develop them.
The Kingdom-Focused Church by Dr. Stan Archie — a thirty-year blueprint for building a local fellowship that equips, develops, and deploys Kingdom citizens into the world God placed them in.
