That question — asked by a pastor in his seventies across a table — redirected the next thirty years of a life. SAGE exists so that moment can happen for a thousand more people.
An entire generation of gifted, called, hungry leaders navigates its most defining seasons without a spiritual parent in sight. Relationally untethered. Orphaned.
On the other side? Thousands of seasoned Kingdom leaders who carry exactly what this generation is starving for. Many feel underutilized. It isn't over.
"Your greatest contribution isn't what you build — it's who you release. Multiplication over addition. One invested relationship changes a life more than a hundred excellent conferences."
The 20 Better VisionA simple framework for investing in a rising leader — not a program to manage, but a posture to inhabit.
"Tell me your story." Before speaking into someone's future, understand their journey. Listen — don't advise. The first conversation is entirely theirs.
"I see in you…" Name the gifts. Confirm the calling. Counter the lie they've been carrying quietly. Specific affirmation breaks what years of striving cannot.
"What desert are you navigating?" Offer the perspective that only comes from walking further down the road. Your scars are a gift, not a liability.
"What's your next step? Who is your one?" End with action and the multiplication question. Every mentored leader becomes the next mentor.
SAGE is for leaders who've lived enough to have something worth giving — and who sense their legacy should multiply, not merely accumulate.
Leaders 45+ with significant life and leadership experience across churches, ministries, and marketplace.
People who've walked through the desert and emerged carrying something the next generation needs.
Those who sense their legacy should multiply, not just accumulate — who feel the pull toward "20 better."
SAGE is a community to belong to, a pathway to follow, and a conviction to live by. The ask is real — and so is the return.
