🎁 Free Resource: The Leadership Development Roadmap

Over the past year, I’ve had countless conversations with pastors and leaders from across Canada, all wrestling with the same question:

“How do I develop leaders who can actually lead—without burning them out or micromanaging?”

The answer? A clear, simple, and actionable plan.

That’s exactly why I created the 6-Month Leadership Development Roadmap—a 50-page strategy guide built from real conversations with leaders who are in the trenches, just like you.

This isn’t just another leadership theory. It’s a proven framework you can start using today.

💡 Here’s the Breakdown:

✅ IDENTIFY & INVEST (Months 1-2)

Spot potential leaders who are observant, intentional, teachable, and humble. Start mentoring them now—even if they don’t feel “ready.”

✅ EQUIP & EMPOWER (Months 3-4)

Give these leaders something real to lead. Let them run a project, teach a team meeting, or oversee a ministry task.

✅ RELEASE & MULTIPLY (Months 5-6)

Here’s where it gets real: step back and let them lead without micromanaging. Then, challenge them to invest in future leaders, creating a ripple effect.

This isn’t just a high-level overview—it’s a complete roadmap, packed with action steps, leadership tips, and real strategies to multiply leaders in your church or ministry.

Let’s get real for a moment.

So many pastors and leaders are navigating ministry with a poverty mindset—not because they want to, but because it’s what they’ve been taught. We’ve heard the phrases:

“Ministry isn’t about money.”

“Poverty equals humility.”

“God’s blessings are spiritual, not material.”

But here’s the problem—that’s not the full picture.

I read Kris Vallotton’s book, Poverty, Riches & Wealth, this summer and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s not just about money. It’s about mindset, mission, and the Kingdom impact you’re called to make.

💡 Here’s the Big Idea:

Poverty is a mindset. Wealth is a mission.

Vallotton challenges us to stop seeing scarcity as spiritual and start living in the abundance God designed for His people.

It’s not about hoarding resources—it’s about being equipped to bless others.

🎯 3 Moves to Shift Your Mindset Today:

1️⃣ Cultivate an Abundance Mentality

Scarcity says, “There’s never enough.”

The Kingdom says, “There’s always more where that came from.”

Take a moment this week to reflect: Where am I leading from scarcity? Where can I lean into God’s abundance?

2️⃣ Preach Prosperity the Right Way

No, not prosperity gospel—Kingdom prosperity.

It’s not about bigger houses or flashier cars. It’s about more impact, deeper generosity, and lasting legacy.

Consider preaching a series on biblical stewardship—people are starving for truth on this. I’m preaching a series called OVER & ABOVE this May, I’ll share some resources with you as I build out this series!

3️⃣ Build Leaders Who Break the Cycle

Imagine leaders in your church who don’t see limits—only possibilities.

Leaders who fund missions, fuel community projects, and mentor others to do the same.

You can create that culture. It starts with your mindset and flows into your community.
