For Every Believer & Leader

The Leadership Course

A 52-week journey through Acts 2:42 — the four rhythms every believer needs, and every leader is called to live.

The Leadership Course — 52-week workbook cover
A5 printable workbook

Most resources are built to run a program. This one is built to form a life. Week by week, it walks you through the ancient rhythm that turned the world upside down — the devotion of Acts 2:42 — the same four rhythms every believer is called to and every leader must live.

Each week holds a teaching to ground you, a devotion to soften you, a prayer to send you, a journal prompt to quiet you, and a challenge to carry your people through. It is not a curriculum you assign. It is a rhythm you live — together, slowly, one week at a time. Whether you lead a church, a small group, or simply your own household, this is the devotion that forms every believer and every leader alike.

  • Teaching

    Devote yourself to the apostles' teaching — believer and leader alike

  • Breaking Bread

    Remember Christ at every table, in every home

  • Fellowship

    Share the life that formed the early church

  • The Prayers

    Return to the prayers, hour by hour, together

"A believer who lives the rhythm will raise a church that lives in awe. This course is the slow, faithful path back to the devotion that formed the early church — for every believer, and for the leaders who will form the next one."
