The Art of Leadership Academy

Last month, our team launched The Art of Leadership Academy, and I’ve been blown away at the community engagement.

Recently, one of our leaders—a young entrepreneur named Christy—asked, “How does your church integrate and call up entrepreneurs/business leaders to take ownership over the vision and growth of your church?”

There was great dialogue between church leaders and business leaders on that post.

I wanted to shout out Christy for starting that conversation in the community. So appreciate you and everyone who was in on that conversation.

You can join this community of incredible leaders like Christy and engage in meaningful conversations PLUS gain access to our library of courses, simply by going to theartofleadershipacademy.com.
