It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Amidst modern challenges of leadership in the church, this plan offers biblical insights into nurturing communities and advancing God’s mission, inspiring Christlike leadership today.

This six-day devotional walks through key moments in Acts 17–21 and explores what it means to follow Jesus faithfully in the real world.
