“To create a holistic formation and leadership training process and to follow the way Jesus formed, trained, and commissioned leaders, we need to strike a synergistic balance between Experience, Equipping, and Education. This is similar to the process that Jesus initiated with his disciples of Modeling and Explaining (Experience), Imitating and Embodying (Equipping), and Reflecting and Questioning (Education). The task now is to use this frame with leaders across the wider organization.”
