The Ascent

A cohort leadership journey.

Featured Mentors

It’s not just about content.
It’s also about the conversation.

The Ascent was founded on the realization that there exists a gap between what is required and what is expected of ministry leaders.

The key to The Ascent is transparency. Great content is everywhere…books, blogs, keynotes and sermons. What leaders needs is transparent conversation. As a member of The Ascent, you’ll grow both personally and professionally by engaging with behind-the-scenes world class mentors, journeying with top notch peers, and finally having a professional ministry coach who knows you and can speak into your ministry with accuracy and insight.

One of the most moving, important, and needed times in my leadership journey.

As a struggling lead pastor who has never quite fit the shoes I’m wearing, The Ascent has helped me realize I’m not alone, and more importantly, to honestly and courageously confront what God’s true call is on my life.
