The Leadership Course
A 52-Week Journey for Spirit-Filled Church Leaders
Walk the ancient rhythm of Acts 2:42 — the devotion that turned the world upside down — and become a leader who leads your church into daily awe.
“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. And awe came upon every soul.”
— Acts 2:42-43
Not a program. A way of life.
This course is for the leader who longs for more than a Sunday faith. Over 52 weeks, it walks you through the ancient rhythm of Acts 2:42 — the devotion that turned the world upside down — and forms you into a spirit-filled leader who leads your church into daily awe.
Each week holds a teaching to ground you, a devotion to soften you, a prayer to send you, a prompt to journal, and a challenge to carry your people through. This is not a program to run on Sunday. It is a way of life to walk every day. Join any week. Walk at your pace. Let the rhythm become your own before you ask it of another.
