Barnabas — The Leader Who Sees Potential Scripture: Acts 11:23–24 “When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all…” Barnabas didn’t build walls, fight battles, or call down fire from heaven. His gift was quieter — but just as powerful: he lifted others. When the early church wasn’t sure what to do with a newly converted Saul, Barnabas stepped in. He saw past Saul’s past and into his potential. He vouched for him, walked with him, and helped launch the ministry of the man we now call the Apostle Paul.…

Scripture: Judges 4:8–9 Israel was stuck in a cycle of half-hearted obedience, drifting from God and suffering under oppression. When leadership faltered and Barak hesitated, Deborah — judge, prophet, and mother in Israel — rose with courage rooted in conviction. She didn’t seize leadership out of ambition but stepped forward because others would not. While Barak wavered, Deborah declared the word of the Lord with clarity and calm authority. Her leadership reminds us that God can raise unexpected leaders in seasons of spiritual drought — leaders who speak truth, inspire courage, and call others to action. Deborah’s strength came not…

Theme: Nehemiah — Building Under PressureScripture: Nehemiah 6:3 “So I sent messengers to them, saying, ‘I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.’” Nehemiah was not a priest or prophet — he was a builder with a vision. When he heard that Jerusalem’s walls were in ruins, he didn’t complain; he prayed, planned, and acted. But as progress began, so did the opposition. Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem mocked, threatened, and tried to lure him away from his work. Nehemiah’s response remains one of the most powerful leadership lines ever spoken: “I am doing a great work and…

Elijah – Listening for God’s Voice Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-13 Elijah stood on Mount Horeb, weary and afraid. After facing kings, prophets, and the pressures of ministry, he felt alone and depleted. Yet even in that isolation, God was present. The Lord was not in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the still small voice (1 Kings 19:12). That moment teaches every Christian leader something vital: strength is found not in the noise of achievement but in the quiet of communion. Leadership today is often measured by visibility and success, but Elijah’s encounter reminds us that divine direction…

✨ Who Was Jesus — Really? Before faith or controversy, there are facts.Across time and culture, historians, skeptics, and believers alike agree on these truths about one extraordinary life: These are not legends whispered in myth, but historical realities recorded, remembered, and still reshaping lives today.So who was He — and why does He still matter?

By Kevin A. Hall, Ed.D. The Question of Our Time “How is theology and technology shaping us?” That single question sits at the heart of today’s spiritual landscape. Every click, scroll, post, or livestream becomes a window into who we are becoming. The digital world has not only changed how we live — it is shaping what we believe, how we relate, and how we grow in faith. Technology, at its best, is not an enemy of formation but an environment of possibility. As one writer notes, it is a “sociotechnical system” that augments human capabilities — a tool woven…

By Kevin A. Hall, Ed.D. What Is Spiritual Formation? At its core, spiritual formation is the lifelong process of becoming more like Christ — in character, purpose, and community. For many, the phrase may sound academic or abstract, but it simply describes God’s ongoing work of transforming our hearts, minds, and actions through His Spirit, His Word, and His people. God’s design for human life has always been relational. In Genesis, humanity is made in God’s image and invited into relationship with Him and with one another. We thrive in connection, not isolation. Just as an ecosystem depends on many…

What can The Bahamas, Jamaica, and the wider region learn from America’s education reset?
