Forged BHM Programs
At Forged Leadership Foundation, we believe that leadership is not about authority or titles, but about service. As Jesus said, "The greatest of you will be the servant of all." Leadership, in its purest form, is rooted in selfless service to others. At Forged, we take this teaching a step further by calling this style of leadership Transformational Leadership. A transformational leader is someone who brings the values of the kingdom into all areas of life. Whether in ministry, the social sector, government, or business, our city needs leaders who are driven by a vision to transform their communities.
Bridges & Beacons Cohort:
A Deep Dive into Transformational Leadership
Our annual leadership cohort, Bridges & Beacons, is designed to help leaders understand what it means to be both a bridge into the community and a beacon of Christ’s light. In this cohort, leaders gain the tools to practically live out Jesus’ call to be salt and light in every area of life. Through deep dives into scripture, leadership theory, and community engagement, participants learn to serve others while boldly reflecting Christ’s mission.
This cohort is for anyone looking to serve in full-time ministry, the social sector, government, business, or any other field where they can be a force for transformation. If you're ready to move from being just a leader to being a transformational leader, Bridges & Beacons is your starting point.
Gospel Manhood Discipleship Groups: Strengthening Men, Strengthening Families
We know that strong, godly men are crucial for strong families, workplaces, and communities. That's why we’ve launched our Gospel Manhood Discipleship Groups throughout Birmingham. These groups are specifically designed to create a community of men who disciple other men, fostering transformational leadership that extends from the home to the workplace and beyond.
Studies show the need for stronger male leadership across our nation, and at Forged, we answer that call. If you’re a man looking to grow spiritually and become the kind of leader who impacts not just your family but the entire community, join a Gospel Manhood Group today.
Monthly Leaders Fast: Seeking the Lord Together
As leaders, it’s easy to become spiritually dry and disconnected. That’s why we invite you to join us for our Monthly Leaders Fast. Every month, we fast the first full week, starting Monday at 6 am and ending Friday at 5 pm. This time of fasting provides an opportunity for leaders to reconnect with the Lord in community.
We understand that not everyone can or should fast food for this period, so we encourage flexibility. Some of our leaders fast from social media, a specific meal, or a media source to dedicate more time to prayer, scripture reading, and silence.
This fast is not about pushing through for personal strength but about meeting with Jesus. We fast to remember His words: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." In the midst of the distractions and pressures of leadership, we pull away to listen, reflect, and allow God to shape us into the transformational leaders we are called to be.
