Jeff Seaton

Are you a church leader facing a challenge? Are there any other kinds these days?

Church leadership today often involves facing the kinds of decisions for which seminary education or long experience in the church has not adequately prepared us.

In these circumstances, having a “thinking partner,” someone who is able to ask good questions and guide us toward better decisions, can make all the difference.

If you think you could benefit from having a thinking partner, or would like to explore how it might help in your situation, send me a message!
