If we want a better world, composed of better countries, inhabited by better states, composed of better cities, inhabited by better neighborhoods, illuminated by better churches, made up of better families, we need to become better people; godly people. -Tony Evans

  • 25 But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 20:25-28

Testimonies:
 
I had no idea that a single podcast episode a friend sent me from Learning to Lead would have such a profound impact on my life. I expected the same old canned leadership training I had grown accustomed to. I found that Learning to Lead is a unique combination of inspiration, encouragement and education. It’s focuses on servant leadership in every aspect of your life from family, friends, volunteering, working and mentoring. I have learned countless ideas, philosophies and techniques that I have incorporated into my everyday life to make a me a more productive and better person. I have been inspired and encouraged to achieve goals I never thought possible. Learning to lead has helped me be a better advisor, a better mentor, a better husband, a better leader, and a better disciple of Christ. ~Gregory A. Furer 
‘For years I’ve looked for leaders to learn from. I’d always read about the transformational benefits of a mastermind group but never knew how to start or find one. When I discovered Learning to Lead I knew my prayers had been answered. This group has become a source of inspiration, encouragement, accountability, and guidance. In the past year I have made tremendous progress on my goals and have developed a greater perspective on leadership. I can see the impact Learning to Lead has made on my career, relationships, attitude, and aspirations. I feel more confident, focused, and supported than ever before. I know that Learning to Lead has helped me develop faster than I ever could have on my own.’~Paul Matthews
