Follow Jesus.
Lead Different.
You’re busy. I know you are. But if you want to thrive at work, at home, and in life, then we need to talk about Jesus.
We’d love to help you follow Jesus in such a way that it changes the way you live and the way you lead – both at work and at home.
Our Approach
Learn
We look at the Scriptures, the life of Jesus, and the example of other believers to glean every last bit of wisdom we can and apply it to our lives. It’s so much easier than doing life alone.
Lead
We teach about leading people, non-profits or businesses in a different way. A way that reflects the Kingdom. It’s not as easy as you might think, but we can help.
Live
We talk about our opportunity for greatest impact – our own families. We give practical advice to help your marriage hum and your kids thrive, including kids we care for through fostering, adoption or mentoring.

What Life-Changing Mentors Do Consistently
Here's a riddle: What is something everyone wants, but very few consider themselves to be? That's right; a mentor. I've talked to many people over the years - young and old - who each wished they had a mentor in their life. Young people that want someone to walk with them; college students that want the wisdom that someone older offers; young marrieds that want another couple to share with them the lessons they've learned; young families that want to learn parenting skills by watching how another family does it. read more
