1. What Is A Leader?
It’s not a position, title or a personality profile. It’s a person. But a certain kind of person committed to living a certain kind of life. [Tom Hughes & Mark Pickerill, 30:53]

2. Becoming A People Of The Book
The question is not how much of the Bible you have “gotten through”; the question is how much of the Bible has gotten through to you. This session will help us learn how to increasingly become people of the Book in normal, simple, everyday ways. [Cheryl Fletcher, 21:57]

3. So...Um...What Exactly Is “The Gospel”?
Sometimes phrases can become buzzwords that people say without anyone really knowing exactly what they mean. For us, “the gospel” is not a buzzword; it’s a message that literally changed the world. And leaders who will be world- changers must know the world-changing message in order to live it out. [Cheryl Fletcher, 29:21]

5. Leading Messy Groups (A.K.A. Groups That Have People In Them)
Jesus said where 2 or 3 gather in His name that He is there also. But He never said that meant leading groups of 2, 3, or more would be easy! This session will give us some simple “nuts-n-bolts” of leading groups effectively, including troubleshooting the most common group leadership challenges. [Matt Price, 42:30]

7. Thinking Inside The Box
Culture tells us to think outside the box. But when it comes to leadership, there is one box that’s proven extremely helpful. It’s called the Leadership Square. [Aron Gibson, 36:36]

8. The Only Necessary Thing
Jesus prayed. He taught His friends to do it. He even did it for us. We should probably learn to do it as well. [Judy Villanueva, 30:25]

9. The Church: A Community In 3D
It’s not just a building, a worship service or some leisure activity for the weekend. So what exactly is the church? And what does it have to do with the hope of the world? This session will help us better understand the church, including three directions in which we can respond to God’s Grace: Worship. Family. Kingdom. [Tom Hughes & Mark Pickerill, 38:29]

10. Becoming A Disciple Who Makes Disciples
Is there a difference between a “believer” and a “disciple”? Is it possible to be a disciple who never makes a disciple? What if you want to help others learn about Jesus but are afraid or don’t know how? [Tom Hughes, 27:18]
