Trailheads

Where are you on the path?

Four common places leaders find themselves. Choose the one that feels most familiar — each one opens onto a different part of the path.

Forest trail representing Walking alone01

Walking alone

You accompany many, but still feel alone.

  • Leading without company
  • Few honest conversations
  • Formation left to yourself
Forest trail representing Losing touch with what gave life02

Losing touch with what gave life

You still serve faithfully. You just can't feel it anymore.

  • Motion without meaning
  • Calling gone quiet
  • Serving on empty
Forest trail representing Meeting every expectation03

Meeting every expectation

Every yes was reasonable. Together they became a cage.

  • Full calendar, thin margin
  • Hard to name what to release
  • Numbing instead of resting
Forest trail representing Carrying too much04

Carrying too much

The weight became normal long before it became heavy.

  • Quietly depleted
  • Always the steady one
  • No place to set it down
