Ministry is changing fast. Leaders need ongoing formation that fits real life. The Faith+Lead Monthly Roundup curates our latest learning opportunities—courses, conversations, and communities—to support your next faithful step.
Be the change you hope to see in the world with this intentional and faith-driven approach to peace-making, neighbor-love, and social action. In Justice in the Bible, you’ll learn not only to act justly but to live justly—embracing the shift from fixing problems to embodying God-guided solutions.
We live in a time of deep polarization. How do we resist the temptation to deepen division? How do we stand as faithful witnesses to the gospel, committed to truth and justice, without getting caught up in blind partisanship? Learn to listen and love those with whom we have profound disagreements—and help members of our congregations do the same in A More Excellent Way.
The church has traditionally been an organization that has told people how they should behave or what they should do, but in our current culture that may push people away from the life-giving grace of God, rather than invite them into it. In response, this course focuses on how church leaders and churches can–and should–come to challenges with a posture of listening rather than a posture of “fixing.” Fixing to Listening will help churches and church leaders begin to make that pivot.
If your workdays feel full but spiritually thin, and you’re quietly wondering whether there’s a faithful way to partner with God at work without forcing it, our February members-only workshop is for you. Join us live on February 19 for a 90-minute workshop led by Dr. Alicia Granholm, Senior Director of Faith+Lead. You’ll explore a simple, grounded framework for noticing God’s presence in your actual work life—not performative, not abstract. You’ll leave with a realistic rhythm, a personalized plan, and greater confidence in discerning God’s movement in your everyday decisions. Included free with Faith+Lead Membership, backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

This Faith+Lead certificate is designed for those who feel called to move beyond the noise and lead with purpose, compassion, and resilience.

With the support and encouragement of a community of peers and a master coach, you won’t be on this journey alone. After just four months, you’ll have taken five courses or workshops that will help shape the way you care for your community.
