Leadership Formation & Learning
a Resource Reservoir for Teaching, Preaching, Discussion, Planning, and Leading
Are you looking for resources that equip you in your teaching or preaching?
Would a resource reservoir with thought-provoking content assist you to lead planning for the future or guide ministry-shaping discussions?
Reading alone is often where the Holy Spirit begins. But Spirit-led reading is never meant to stop with private reflection. It is for the wider Body of Christ.
That means Reimagine.Network resources are designed to help leaders invite others to read, plead, heed, and seed.
The Read / Plead / Heed / Seed Pathway
- Read — Listen carefully for what the Spirit may be saying through Scripture, wise voices, ministry experience, and the concerns rising within the Body of Christ.
- Plead — Pray for discernment, courage, humility, obedience, and the willingness to be corrected or redirected.
- Heed — Discuss what changes may be needed in ministry culture, assumptions, priorities, practices, and leadership habits.
- Seed — Talk, teach, preach, and plant the insight in the life of the congregation, team, network, or ministry.
- Proceed — Turn this action into a passion ... Lead into the future
Ministry leaders need more than articles to browse. They need coaching for guided reflection, various group conversations, and the design of ministry action plans.
This hub gathers resources you can use personally, with your staff, with ministry teams, in small groups, in sermon preparation, in workshops, or in leadership retreats. (and you have permission to print, post, project, promote)
It turns Reimagine.Network from something to read into something to use.
Begin by ReCentering Christ
Formation and learning on Reimagine.Network should never become information transfer only. The goal is not to make leaders busier, cleverer, or more fully supplied with content.
The goal is to help leaders, teams, churches, and ministries discern and obey Christ together.
Before choosing a resource, return to the center: ReCenter Christ.

Use by Setting
- Personal Study — Read slowly, mark phrases that provoke thought, and ask what the Spirit may be inviting you to reconsider.
- Staff Meeting — Use one resource as a common reading, then ask what it reveals about your current ministry culture.
- Leadership Team or Board — Begin with prayer, name the ministry concern, and discuss what assumptions need to be examined before decisions are made.
- Small Group — Use discussion questions and worksheets to connect Reimagine themes to everyday discipleship.
- Sermon Planning — Use a hub or mini-course to identify biblical themes, ministry questions, and congregational application.
- Retreat or Planning Day — Choose one pathway, read before the gathering, pray together, discuss implications, and design one next act of obedience.
- Coaching Conversation — Use a resource as a catalyst for asking better questions rather than offering prefab answers.
Use This With Your Team
This hub can help a pastor, staff team, board, ministry group, small group, or network ask:
- What are we reading that the Spirit may be using to awaken concern, conviction, or courage?
- What should we plead for in prayer before we plan anything?
- What changes may need to be heeded in our ministry culture?
- What insight needs to be seeded through teaching, preaching, conversation, coaching, or action?
- What resource would help us move from interest to implementation?
- Who needs to be invited into the conversation next?
- What is one next act of obedience we can take?
A Simple Team Exercise
- Step 1: Read — Choose one article, interview, lab, or worksheet. Ask each person to mark the sentence that most provokes thought.
- Step 2: Plead — Pray before discussing. Ask God for discernment, honesty, courage, and humility.
- Step 3: Heed — Discuss what needs to change in thinking, culture, systems, priorities, or practice.
- Step 4: Seed — Decide how this insight should be talked about, taught, preached, coached, or planted in the wider ministry.
- Step 5: Proceed — Identify action steps, persons responsible, and follow-up conversations.

Curator’s Note
Leadership Formation & Learning is not a warehouse of resources. It is a training room for reimagining ministry together.
The resources here are meant to be read prayerfully, discussed honestly, applied carefully, and seeded generously into the wider Body of Christ.
Do not rush the process. Invite others into prayer, discussion, planning, resourcing, and action. Return often to Christ as the center of every meeting of every ministry.
Read.
Plead.
Heed.
Seed.
Then proceed in Spirit-led, Scripture-fed obedience.
