Pastors Cohort

Equip Your Church for the Challenges of Today

I’ve seen it time and time again — Pastors struggle with how to address the difficult cultural realities of our day in a biblically faithful way without stepping on landmines or causing unnecessary drama. The leading voices of yesteryear tended to shy away from anything controversial in an attempt to remain neutral, but neutrality isn’t possible in this day and age. You can be hot or cold, but you can’t be lukewarm. Pastor, this isn’t the time to shrink back or play it safe. Your congregation is navigating real-world issues every day. They need a leader who will speak boldly and help them to stand strong in a world hostile to biblical truth. The amazing thing is that bold, strong, biblical churches are also the most effective at reaching lost people!

Lead with Boldness

This cohort is for pastors who are ready to strategize and learn with likeminded bold leaders. It’s not always easy, and it does require courage, but it’s worth it. We’re not here to wage war against the culture, but rather against hell. Our churches need more than plain vanilla safe sermons and politically correct leadership. They need courageous shepherds who are willing to teach the truth, love the sheep, and shoot the wolves.

We’ll discuss how to balance conviction and compassion and how to win souls in today’s ripest harvest fields while building stronger more mature disciples at the same time.
