"Formed to Lead challenges the conventional pursuit of leadership, inviting us instead to embrace the deeper invitation of Christ. Grounded in Scripture and rich with practical insight, this transformative guide reminds us that leadership is not about striving but surrender-recognizing that the work is the Lord's and that true effectiveness flows from intimacy with him. When leadership becomes an overflow of the Spirit within us, we experience a profound unburdening, anchored in the integrity of our true identity and purpose."
Andrew Ginsberg, president of Operation Mobilization USA
"Jason Jensen's life and leadership have been marked by attentiveness to Scripture and spiritual disciplines, prayer and people, sabbath and sacrament. The pages of Formed to Lead are rich in wisdom and uncommonly practical application borne out of that sustained attentiveness. Enter into these pages, engage in the practices, and prayerfully apply what you encounter to your own leadership and spiritual formation."
Jeff Crosby, author of The Language of the Soul and World of Wonders
