The Call of Leadership
Whether you're an established, emerging or limited-access leader, are you longing to become the kind of leader who is deeply aligned with their calling, leading with clarity, integrity, and Christlike humility?

The Struggle of Leadership
No matter how little, long or to what degree you've been a leader, maybe you can resonate with one of these feelings/experiences:
Leaders tend to endure difficulties like:
-
Loneliness, Frustration, Feeling stuck
-
Lacking clarity on your role, vision or process within ministry/business
-
Time feels scarce, and it can be difficult to discipher if it will be "just another program" or something truly worthwhile
-
You've experienced surface-level leadership resources that didn’t address their real, personal needs.
-
Vulnerability is risky—especially for those used to being the one others rely on.
-
You've been trained to invest in others, not in yourself—so personal development often feels like a luxury, not a necessity.
The Cost of Leadership
The cost of leadership can be deep and multifaceted. According to our research, the weight and cost of leadership effects multiple areas of a leader's life.
-
Spiritually, it’s costing leaders intimacy with Christ. They’re leading out of depletion instead of overflow.
-
Emotionally, it’s costing leaders peace. Many live with anxiety, self-doubt, or guilt, knowing they’ve drifted from the kind of leader they were called to be.
-
Relationally, it’s costing leaders trust. Superficial leadership erodes deep connection—with their teams, families, and even their congregations or organizations.
-
Missionaly, it’s costing leaders impact. When leaders operate in misalignment, their God-given vision stalls. People aren’t discipled. Teams lose clarity. Ministries or organizations become busy but ineffective.
-
Personally, it’s costing leaders joy and purpose. Many wonder if they’re truly making a difference or just performing to keep up appearances.

"Mentoring has been a gift from God in my pastoral journey. At 69 years old, after decades of serving with love and simplicity, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be mentored by an experienced pastor. Each conversation is a rich exchange of experiences, learning, and mutual encouragement. It’s not about one teaching the other, but about walking together—listening, reflecting, and seeking to better serve the Kingdom. This mentoring has renewed my strength, encouraged my heart, and helped me realize that even after many years in ministry, there is still so much to grow when we walk in humility and fellowship."
