What Is a Leadership Lab?
I work with a select group of churches each month to reduce a specific ministry leadership pressure.
- Custom, live guided sessions with Gavin (offered either digitally or in person)
- Focused on church- and leadership-specific pressures
- Based on Gavin’s Pressure Relief Pathway framework
- Insanely practical—not theoretical—strategy you will actually use
“Working with Gavin the past 8 months has completely changed the way I communicate. His strategy for preparation, and his feedback on sermon delivery has helped me to communicate in a way that is clear, helpful and hopeful.”
Dallas Darnell, Associate Pastor, Encounter Church - Boston, MA
