Building Healthy Leaders Course: Learn an approach to intentional leadership development that is unique because it is not a program. It requires diligent, prayerful application in the unique context in which the leaders will serve. Most important, it links leader development to the way Christ trained his disciples/leaders. This approach has been very successful in developing leaders within the underground church.

The nature of this course does not present new, innovative ideas but rather returns to the simplicity of New Testament patterns. It presents a clear model of the principles of leader development that are applicable in the life of every kind of leader. This model can also be used for pervasive people building in every ministry, family, business and relationship.
