Leadership Forum is a professional/spiritual development seminar for both lay leaders and clergy that kicks off our Annual Gathering each year.

He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations and is the author of more than 25 books, including Evangelism in an Age of Despair: Hope Beyond the Failed Promise of Happiness (Baker Books, 2025). He also cohosts the “Ministry in a Secular Age” podcast.

Leadership Forum is made possible in part by CBFNC’s Helping Pastors Thrive ministry.
