“The most significant gifts in the church’s life in every era are ordinary abilities sanctified”

What is the meaning of the name “Background Leadership”?


Background - a man who refuses to follow - refuses to lead himself

A man has to be able to follow first.

If you don’t have any experience in following, you don’t know how to lead.

You must be a good follower to be a good leader.

Leadership - knowing what is right and doing what is right, despite all odds or opposition, and inspiring other to do the same.

There will always be opposition for choosing to do the right thing. Teaching others to do it regardless of the cost is leadership.

A fearless leader is easy to follow.

Our vision is to utilize the power of leadership and multiplication to build a generation of Christ followers who know what is right and do what is right, despite all odds or opposition, and inspire others to do the same. 

To create young men everywhere leading themselves and others into what is right.

Vision

Our mission is to develop and train disciples to become mature followers of Christ that actively lead and multiply other followers to expand the Kingdom of God into a vibrant, multiplying community.

To give young men a clear vision that motivates them to win and train them toward a specific destination with an observable direction and reachable goals.

Mission

Background Leadership Academy is a Christian ministry rooted in Biblical truth.

We are an independent, non-denominational ministry focused on discipleship and leadership

Jesus Christ is the way, the only way, He is the truth, the only truth, He is the life, the only life.
