Prophetic Leadership Principles

Greater Boston, this is a season for depth.
SPL1000: Prophetic Principles is the gateway course of the School of Prophetic Leadership — designed for believers who sense a call to hear clearly, discern biblically, and lead with integrity. In a time when voices are loud and clarity is rare, this course grounds you in Scripture, spiritual formation, and tested prophetic foundations.
This is not hype. This is formation.
Over this journey, you’ll explore how revelation, interpretation, and application work together. You’ll grow in discernment before declaration, character before commissioning, and structure before expansion. Whether you serve in church, marketplace, intercession, or culture, SPL1000 strengthens your spiritual depth and leadership maturity.
If you’re called to speak, lead, or build — but want to be rooted first — this is your next step.
Registration is open. Join us and build on foundations that last.

Forgiveness: An Alternative Account, with the Rev. Matthew Potts

‘Forgiveness: An Alternative Account’ – with Guest Speaker The Rev. Matthew Ichihashi Potts. January 21st 6-8pm

During the week of Christian Unity, we are delighted that the Rev. Dr. Matthew Ichihashi Potts will be joining us at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, to speak on the subject of ‘Forgiveness: An Alternative Account’. The ‘blurb’ from his book of the same name tells us:

Matthew Ichihashi Potts explores the complex moral terrain of forgiveness, which he claims has too often served as a salve to the conscience of power rather than as an instrument of healing or justice. Though forgiveness is often linked with reconciliation or the abatement of anger, Potts resists these associations, asserting instead that forgiveness is simply the refusal of retaliatory violence through practices of penitence and grief. It is an act of mourning irrevocable wrong, of refusing the false promises of violent redemption, and of living in and with the losses we cannot recover. 

Join us at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul (138 Tremont St, Boston). We’ll have refreshments from 6pm; the talk will begin at 6.30pm, and will include time for questions. The event is free and all are welcome; please help us to plan by signing up HERE.

The Imperfect Pastor: 2024 Gordon-Conwell Pastors’ Conference

About the Conference:

Leaders in ministry are pressured to produce large, famous things as fast as possible. But the things that matter most in the lives of those we serve require small, mostly overlooked graces over a longer period of time. Pastoring and preaching are best when seen as acts of love and wonder hovering within the ordinary lives of particular people. But this means we also need wisdom. When competing cultural questions, political voices, and individual doubts rise, it can feel more difficult to know which voices belong with Jesus, and how to wisely help others hear his voice and biblically follow him. In these conversations, Dr. Zack Eswine will spur you on to taste the goodness of wiser loves and skills for your life and ministry.

Schedule:

9:45-10:45 a.m. Plenary Session I: The Imperfect Preacher
12:00-1:30 p.m. Dean’s Forum: Locating Jesus in our Political Moment (lunch included)
1:45-3:00 p.m. Plenary Session II: The Imperfect Pastor
