Leadership Development for Faith-Based Leaders

A simple 3-Step Transformational Journey to guide you into becoming the Christ-like Shepherd God has called upon you to be.

The Aspire 78:72 Biblical Leadership Program helps faith-based leaders learn how to manage conflict, build trust, and delegate effectively, all while creating a positive and lasting culture within your organization.

So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.—Psalm 78:72

Aspire Leadership Founder, Jeff Banning, has worked with hundreds of leaders over the last 30 years—and discovered these three common challenges among faith-based leaders:

Does this sounds familiar to you?

You want to lead with purpose and clarity, but you can’t seem to break through the noise.

You’ve consumed all the podcasts, read the best-sellers, and attended conferences on becoming a better leader…but nothing seems to have a lasting impact or change.

You’re doing it all—your growing “to do” list is never ending. It feels like you’re constantly swimming upstream, never getting ahead. You feel like you’re out on an island by yourself.

You know, in your heart, that you want to lead with purpose—and that there must be a better way forward... if only you had a trusted Shepherd to light the way.

Today's Faith Leader is Facing Unprecedented Challenges

We don’t have to tell you it’s tough out there. On top of already feeling like you’re on an island by yourself, you’ve been silently battling another obstacle: the volunteering rate is on the decline.

It seems as soon as you get one great volunteer or staff member trained, they leave for greener pastures. And you’re stuck back at square one trying to find helpers in a tough-as-nails environment.

You have dreams of growing your organization, rising to your ultimate calling of spreading the word of Christ, making a BIG impact in your community, and becoming the highly respected, Christian leader you aspire to be.

Being a Christ-like shepherd is hard, especially when it seems like the number of volunteers keeps shrinking and you have more responsibilities than ever. But, it doesn’t have to be.

Here at Aspire Leadership, we help you navigate the daily demands of being a faith-based leader so that you can lead with confidence, finally get clarity, and move closer to Jesus Christ.
