A private, three-day formation assessment for church leaders navigating seasons of power, position, and unchecked authority.
Request Access →The story of Saul is not a story of incompetence. It is a story of a leader who rose faster than his character could carry him — and who, over time, mistook the anointing of God for the approval of God.
Most pastoral derailments are not sudden. They are slow formations hardened over years of unexamined patterns: approval-seeking, fear-driven decisions, comparison, and the quiet replacement of calling with control.
The Saul Project exists to interrupt that trajectory — before the story ends the way it always does.
Surface the patterns leaders don't see in themselves — the ones their teams already know.
Assess how authority is held, distributed, and protected inside your leadership culture.
A private, confidential report for leadership — not a public scorecard, but a pastoral compass.
"The king asked, 'What is your request?' — and in that moment, the only thing Saul could see was the answer he wanted to hear." 1 Samuel 15 — A Formation Parable
We meet with your senior leadership to frame the assessment, set expectations, and establish the pastoral container that makes honest answers possible.
Participants receive a daily text message with a small set of formation-oriented questions. No apps to download. No dashboards to log into. Just honest reflection over three consecutive days.
A confidential report synthesizing the aggregate findings — delivered privately to senior leadership, not broadcast to the team. The report names patterns, not people.
We walk through the report together and help your team discern what formation work belongs in this season — and what structures need to change.
The Saul Project is invitation-only. Tell us about your church and we'll be in touch.
