You have likely asked the questions: Why was I created? What purpose, mission, or calling did God have in mind when He spoke me into existence?
The yearning to discover our reason for being and how we fit into the purposes of God in our generation, and in history, is in the heart of every man and women birthed in God. This is the quest of the Christian journey, one of coming to know God with ever increasing intimacy and coming to know our place in the world with ever increasing clarity.
If this stirs something in your heart…read on.
The mission of Strategic Life Training is to lay godly foundations in the lives of men and women that will help prepare them to be ambassadors of God's life to every area of our culture. We are committed to raising up godly leaders whose lives, families, businesses, communities will bring glory to God.
To glorify God is the reason for our existence.
We are about developing leaders who see all of life through the framework of the biblical worldview, and who are committed to living strategic lives, as well as to faithfully steward the talents that God has invested in them, and who are committed to serving the purposes of God in their generation.
We see this mission being fulfilled by working alongside the local church in communities. Through the use of an audio and written curriculum, a four-day Intensive, and encouraging a student/mentor relationship, our desire is to provide an ongoing framework that serves the local church in the development of leaders.
What leaders are saying about SLT...
To bring about
the influence we desire it is essential that we begin to think strategically,
train strategically, and most importantly live strategically. SLT
is an incredible tool in the hand of the Lord to bring this desire
to pass |

No more illogical theology!
No more unsupportable arguments! We now know what we believe, why
we believe it, and how to bring the principles of the Word of God
into every conversation, lovingly yet convincingly. SLT is Life
101. It should be required for every person before they open their
mouth to minister the first time. |

Our message and curriculum acknowledges four essential foundations in the development of a leader:
Our identity is based in the revealed word of God, which encompasses the revelation of His character, His nature, and the revelation of His intent and His purposes for mankind and His creation.
Walking in personal holiness and integrity is essential to any leader who desires to glorify God.
The raw talent that God has deposited in each of us needs to be developed in order to produce the fruit that was intended.
God builds through relationships. To truly honor and glorify God as leaders we must embrace His heart for a people and commit our lives to discovering what it is to live out the Christian life in community rather than in isolation.
The Strategic Life Training curriculum is built around four main themes:
The entire first year of the course has students engaged in a comprehensive and systematic study of the Christian worldview and comparative worldviews. More importantly, the impartation and passion of the speakers sow vision for why the pursuit of the Christian worldview is essential to successful Christian living.
The course emphasizes the need to embrace the lifestyle of God. It provides guidance in discovering God's patterns for living that help participants discover the specifics of the work to which God has called them.
The course emphasizes the characteristics of Christian Leadership including character and holiness, integrity, and service as the primary motivation of a leader.
The course encourages participants to give themselves to a vision that is bigger than they are, the completion of which extends beyond their own lifetime. In addition, we cultivate a vision that allows participants to begin to see the way their individual destiny relates to the purposes of God in their generation and in history.
