Deep Leadership by Kara Powell

I am really excited about what Kara Powell is doing at FYI! I've had the GREAT privilege of interacting with her over the past 15 months! She is getting ready to launch a new training series in September for youth workers and their teams, Deep Leadership, which will be training on-ramps for your leadership meetings throughout the calendar year. Here's a blurb from the website:

If you're like most youth workers, you hold regular meetings for your adult volunteers and small group leaders. And if you're like most youth workers, all too often these meetings degenerate into a string of announcements about upcoming events and fail to lead your team toward deeper ministry philosophies or practices.

Deep Leadership offers you something different: a school year’s worth of training modules that are both easy to use but also geared for heavy contextualization based on the particular needs of leaders, kids, and communities. We've developed this resource to include both a leader's guide and a volunteer journal for your team members to use.

You can download a couple of samples from their website. The Leaders Guide for the Mentoring On Ramp is HERE. And the introduction to the Volunteer Journal is HERE. Check them out today and then head back to the site on September 2nd!

I am really excited to promote this to the churches in our district that don't have paid youth workers, use it in some of our network gathering times with other youth workers, use it when I meet with leaders individually, and use the content as I gather with my leaders as a whole.

Thanks Kara, even if you are a San Diego Chargers FAN! GO BRONCOS!
