The Challenge is Real!

Leading a church or ministry often feels like herding cats who have their own mind and direction instead of sheep who move along in flocks. According to Gallup research:

Only 23% of members are actively engaged in pursuing a spiritually invested life vision, becoming a disciple.
58% are “quiet quitting,” doing the bare minimum as a believer instead of learning to be followers of Jesus in promise and practice.
18% are “loud quitting,” actively undermining the mission of the church by complaining, resisting, and staying independent of a corporate identity.

This disengagement is demoralizing for a spiritual leader. You feel that you possess and cast a prophetic vision for where God wants to take your church or community, but it’s treated as just another program, not a divine call. You want collaboration, passion, and action to make authentic disciples who transform neighborhoods, schools, and businesses. Instead, many are neutralized, lacking energy or commitment. Many pastors just quietly quit themselves, opting for maintenance over mission.

You’ve likely tried fixes:

Catchy programs and slogans.
Missional reviews and initiatives.
Consultants or coaching, and...
Attraction models rather than strategic cultivation of souls.

These may yield temporary results, but they don’t create lasting change. Why? Because it is a focus on the branches, not the roots.

As a Kingdom leader, your mission is clear: make disciples who carry the presence, personality, and power of Jesus into the world. Like a shepherd, you’re called to guide your flock to spiritual growth and security. The Bible underscores this in Acts 20:28 (ESV): “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.”

You are a difference maker, an effective shepherd, a prophetic servant and you are committed to leading yourself well. Spiritual influence is a sacred calling and I want to be your partner in clarity, communication, and coalescing people around one vision - being the presence of God in the world we are planted.
