Are you ready to become the kind of leader that equips disciples who will change the world?
We invite you to join the next cohort of ministry leaders in Australia on a 16-week journey over two eight-week semesters of spiritual formation and practical leadership applications.
The School of Emotionally Healthy Leadership for Pastors and Leaders
The School of Emotionally Healthy Leadership is an intensive spiritual formation experience designed exclusively for pastors and leaders. The core content is based on the two parts of our flagship discipleship course: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality (8 weeks) & Emotionally Healthy Relationships (8 weeks). This course is augmented by additional reading and leadership-specific applications by Pete Scazzero and facilitated by Jason Perkins. In this transformational journey, you will learn practices and skills that will revolutionise the way you live and lead others. If you are ready to take this journey, apply today!
Please note: These courses are run via Zoom. Places are very limited.
Course Offerings
It is advisable to do the whole 16-week school, however, it is possible to just complete either of the 8-week semesters below. We will consider people in leadership positions, or on pathways to leadership. We also highly recommend registering your team or staff to do this together. Please contact us with any questions — info@perko.company.
