”Coaching Groups have been beneficial to my leadership growth over the past 2 years. I'm still a work in progress, but I have gained so much awareness in my strengths and weaknesses. I've learned so much about not just leading others but leading myself and how I can lead up. Most importantly, the greatest gift I have found through Coaching Groups is community. I have found lifelong friendships and co-laborers that understand the seasons I have been through or will go through. It's been so refreshing to be reminded that I am actually not alone.

Marsha BrownExecutive Director at XR Church

”Being around leaders that are going in the same direction, have the same heart, and sitting in the same chair as me is so encouraging. My Pastors have seen the growth and comment on it often. They are highly impressed on what I have been learning and are confident in Leading Second.

Adam LopezChief Operating Officer at Hope Unlimited Church Santa Fe

”Life hit hard with the loss of my husband in 2022. Being brand new to full time ministry, while navigating such a great loss, could have easily taken me out of the ring, BUT Leading Second breathed LIFE into my brokenness. The support, the people, the words, the prayers…they sustained me. They kept me in the ring. They kept me standing.

”I honestly had some areas that were unhealthy in me and God has put his finger on. I am living more intentional than I ever have and am making changes to my health and soul as a leader that is transforming my life.

”Through my coach as well as the monthly group sessions, I've learned a lot from an organizational stand point. Some examples would be systems, meeting flows, leadership development. Every session has benefited me in it's own way. I feel like I'm better for my pastor.
