Have you ever looked at your family, your church, your community—or our culture—and wondered,

"Lord, what can I do?"

You're not alone.

I've asked that same question.

Throughout Scripture, God accomplishes extraordinary work through ordinary people who are willing to answer His call. That's exactly where the story of Nehemiah begins—and it's where Leading Forward begins, too.

Over the years, I've used this resource to help believers discover God's calling, evaluate their readiness to lead, and develop around a shared mission and vision. While Nehemiah provides the framework, this workbook draws from leadership principles found throughout God's Word, along with thought-provoking insights from various leaders.

Whether you work through it on your own or use it to develop leaders in your church, ministry, or organization, my prayer is the same: that God will use these pages to strengthen your faith, shape your character, and prepare you to lead His work His way.

Every great work of God begins when someone sees the need and is willing to step forward in faith.

Let's lead forward—together.
