Lifelong Leadership

We Weren’t Meant to "Prepare the Way of the Lord" On Our Own
Christian leaders need safe places, safe times, and safe people to help them grow spiritually and be fruitful over the long run. Most leaders do not listen for the Spirit or create space for reflection, fellowship, and prayer. And yet these exercises, done together in a committed group, bring lasting transformation to your life and to your leadership.

Lifelong Leadership casts a dynamic vision for mentoring communities and offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to implementation. It is the culmination of a long conversation, shepherded by Leighton Ford and developed by MaryKate Morse and a community of leaders: Anne Grizzle, Raphaël Anzenberger, Chris Woodhull, and Nick Valadez.

Whether you are a seasoned leader or one just emerging, this proven model, used throughout the world, will equip you to effectively respond to the ongoing demands of your ministry, provide the respite you desperately need, and extend the work of God through your ministry.
