“This class has significantly deepened my understanding of leadership within a Christian framework, particularly in cultivating vision and leading others effectively. Learning about John Kotter’s change principles and the importance of casting a vision that aligns with biblical values has been transformative. It has equipped me to create and communicate a vision that motivates and inspires, not just for organizational growth but for spiritual revival. The focus on empowering others, creating guiding coalitions, and understanding spiritual warfare has also prepared me for the challenges of leading a revival-oriented ministry. I appreciated how practical and applicable the course material is for real-life ministry situations. Integrating biblical principles with leadership theories, like Kotter’s change model and the emphasis on prayer and spiritual warfare, was particularly helpful. Additionally, the interviews with Christian leaders provided real-world examples of leadership challenges and victories, giving me a balanced perspective on leading in times of growth and difficulty.”
