We are called to live all our humanness more fully alive.

Welcome.

I'm Isaac Wicker. I created Whole Human Challenge based on nearly a decade of professional therapy practice. Through my practice, I've met countless people who are convinced that the best they can get out of life is to be less stressed by managing their schedules well. Instead, I help people discover the abundance of potential within them and around them. They are able to find new life within the day-to-day living that once seemed empty, annoying, and overwhelming.

What our participants are saying:

"Whole Human Challenge showed me that to enrich my life, I don’t need to apply some external system but instead I need to see what is already at play in and around me. We moved from observing the beautiful things in life to eventually recognizing our ultimate identity as beloved children of God and starting from that to participate in God’s plan for our lives. This changed everything! I started to be more present to my kids, my wife, my commute, and the other mundane moments of life. Life has taken on a new excitement and is bursting with promise all around me." - Jake, MN

IS WHC FOR YOU?

You KNOW there's more great potential in you, but you just don't know how to tap into it. You know you're meant to be fully alive, but you don't know how to get there.

Well, change doesn't happen through idealistic positivity! My approach in WHC works methodically with the biological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of living. Throughout the seven weeks, you will establish practical habits, live your core values, and pursue the mission you were made for.

“Whole Human Challenge completely changed the way I think about my mental health”
Most of us go through life thinking blaming ourselves or looking to “fix” ourselves as if we are the problem. A problem to be solved.
.
Instead, you can learn that the way your mind works makes SENSE. (I.e. it is GOOD). You are good. You make sense.
.
Once you know this, why wouldn’t you want to work WITH yourself instead of constantly struggling/battling/pushing yourself away.
.
You are meant to be while. To collaborate with your whole self.

What is hope and why is it one of the 3 pillars of WHC? You need hope to take any step toward any goal that you ever have. It’s the foundation of any human activity. If you truly have no hope, you don’t move. It’s better to conserve energy than to waste energy on something that is hopeless. So, if you want to start an endeavor- any endeavor- it starts with hope. It starts with the belief that you can actually change. That something good is possible. It’s that hope for the good that allows us to take the action that we need to make sacrifices, take risks, make adjustments…
.
Hope is predicated on 2 things:
1) that there’s something worth pursuing, something worth fighting for. And 2) that we can actually get there. It’s not just for other people, but for us too.
.
So even at the beginning of our journey, we need to believe that there’s a worthwhile end/destination/goal. A lot of people think they’re unmotivated, but the problem isn’t with their motivation, it’s with their hope. If you give the a goal that’s actually worthwhile and the tools to get there, they will move, they will take action.

Have you ever thought that loving others means sacrificing your own well-being?
.
Taking care of yourself is one way of loving others. Especially when people depend on you, that’s when you need to be most aware of having quality #selfcare and making your self time really count. A lot of people have time, but they don’t really rejuvenate, they don’t really take really good care of themselves during that time. If you focus on the quality of taking care of yourself, then you can maintain your personal well-being in the midst of even the most hectic schedules. Seeking rest, hope, and agency in your own life helps you really be there for those you love, but also sets an example for them and how to take care of themselves…it allows you to truly take care of those you love most.
