When was the last time your prayer life actually grew?

Not the last time you prayed. The last time your prayer life deepened. Stretched beyond the same requests, the same routines, the same five minutes before bed.

Here's what I've learned from coaching leaders for years: the ones who keep growing aren't just skilled. They're dependent. They know that leadership pipelines, healthy teams, and multiplying churches don't come from strategy alone — they come from leaders who stay on their knees.

A deeper prayer life isn't a task to check off. It's what keeps a leader humble, honest, and tethered to the One who's actually doing the work.

If your prayer life has gone quiet, that's worth noticing.
Don't ignore it.
Lean in.

Denominational leaders carry a real burden.
They love their churches. They want to see them grow.
They want multiplication — new churches, new leaders, new life.
That desire is a gift. It's the starting point.
And that's exactly where Axelerate comes alongside.
We meet with leaders monthly. We coach. We listen.
Together, we build real plans — strategies rooted in what actually leads to growth and multiplication.
Because vision deserves support. And leaders deserve a partner in the work.
Let us invest in you.

Paul made an appeal for strong
leaders.

Leaders who would strive together.
That appeal hasn't changed.
The fields are still ripe for harvest.

And the harvest still needs leaders — leaders who are
equipped, and who go on to equip others.

That's the heart behind Axelerate. Sons and daughters
of encouragement, raised up to serve the ones serving
church planters.

Gary unpacks this call from Paul, and what it means
for the local church today.

Church planters need leaders who invest in them.

Let us invest in you.

One of the marks of a coachable leader?

They don't just take feedback. They turn it into growth.

Here's how we use it in coaching:
Each mark becomes a mirror.
A question. A conversation starter.
We ask: Where's your blind spot right now?
What goal is waiting for your attention?
What habit needs to change for you to grow?

This is one of 10 marks — and just one way to use them.

In 10 Marks of a Coachable Leader, Gary Rohrmayer gives you the whole framework: a practical resource guide for building leaders who are humble, teachable, and built for lasting impact.

Here's a quick leadership test.

What happens inside of you when someone gives you
critical feedback?

Do you defend your decision before you've even really
heard them out? Do you explain away the miss instead
of sitting with it? Do you quietly dismiss it because,
deep down, you already think you know better?

Or do you get curious?

Curiosity is different. It doesn't rush to protect your
ego, it asks questions. It wants to understand before it
responds. It treats feedback as information, not an
attack.

The depth of our curiosity can be the real test of our
coachability. Leaders who keep growing aren't the
ones who never get feedback. They're the ones who
know how to receive it.

So next time criticism lands, notice your first reaction.
Then ask yourself: am I defending, or am I learning?

If everything depends on you, then you haven't built a leadership pipeline yet.

You're the one holding it all together.

That might feel like strength.
It's actually a warning sign.

Here are 3 signs your pipeline is missing:
1. The same people carry everything — every time.
2. New leaders never get real responsibility. Just tasks.
3. Your strongest leaders build followers... instead of leaders.

A pipeline isn't something you hope happens.

It's something you build — on purpose.

If any of these hit close to home, it might be time for a closer look.

What's the hardest part of developing leaders in your church right now?

Is it finding people willing to step up?

Is it giving them real responsibility, not just tasks?

Is it knowing where to even start?

We want to hear from you.

Let us not grow weary in doing good.

Fall is here. And with it, a reminder.

Paul didn't say the work would be easy. He said don't grow weary.

Church planting is a long obedience. Some seasons feel slow. Some feel like nothing is happening at all.

But at the proper time, we will reap a harvest — if we do not give up.
Keep going.

The harvest is coming.

Before you knock on a single door, walk the block in prayer.

Prayer isn't the warm-up. It's the strategy.

A few basics for prayer walking:
1. Walk slowly - notice the homes, the businesses, the people. Pray specifically for what you see.
2. Open doors - pray for opportunities to happen naturally and for hearts to soften.
3. Go in twos when you can. Agreement in prayer carries weight.

You're not just walking a block. You're asking God to move first.
