A Fellowship of Leaders Growing Together in Whole-Brained, Embodied Faith
You weren’t meant to grow alone. True spiritual maturity happens in community.
Welcome to the Alive & Well Leadership Community (AWLC)—a practice space where you can exercise practices that develop relational maturity while fostering a connection with God, yourself, and others.
This isn’t just leadership training. It's a journey of becoming. At AWLC, we believe leadership isn't taught, it's caught. We learn through modeling what it is like us and our people to do. Like Jesus' model of close relationship with a few—it’s about becoming the person God designed you to be.
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU WILL:
Grow in spiritual maturity both as an individual and within a group that supports and strengthens each other.
Learn how to lead from authenticity with the emotional resilience to build relational connections.
Experience renewal and transformation over time in a setting that honors joy, peace, and connection.
Be equipped to guide others with unique and powerful practices that originated with Journey Groups.
“Amy, thank you for being my true North and a steady voice of reason. I’m deeply grateful for your wisdom, leadership, and unwavering guidance.”

How This Community Works
Gather with us on three Monday evenings and two Friday mornings each month. You’re welcome to attend whichever 60-minute Zoom sessions fit your schedule—or join them all!
Learn to accompany others on the journey to maturity, with attention to both personal growth and group transformation.
Shift from being “the sage on the stage” to “the guide on the side,” modeling leadership that’s authentic, relational, and responsive.
Experience God’s presence and learn to hear His voice through regular Immanuel Connection practices.
The Power of Maturity in Community
During our first official AWLC meeting, we reviewed the Map of the Journey and the Destination of a Pilgrimage to Maturity with:
✔ A quieting practice.
✔ A small group time for check-in and reflection.
✔ A group discussion of concepts.
✔ A connection with Immanuel around our maturity.
✔ A small group time for sharing.
This is what we’re building together: a practice space for real, transformative growth.

AWLC is not just another leadership training—it’s a practice space where you can engage the practices that develop relational maturity while fostering a connection with God, yourself, and others.
We focus on growing together, not just gaining knowledge.
