Somehow we all know that to play it safe is to lose the game.

Though no one chooses a life of apathy and missed opportunity, we are so easily lulled to sleep -- losing the miraculous in the midst of the mundane.

Join CCN and Erwin McManus for a new kind of training series designed to nourish the spiritual lives of leaders.

The demands that leadership places on pastors and ministry leaders are definitely unique and require a spiritual lens:

"The irony is that, while secular leadership has become blatantly spiritual, Christian leadership has become blatantly (and blandly) secular... In the end leadership is nothing less than spiritual," says author and pastor Erwin McManus.

> This month, Erwin invites leaders to embrace God's calling to a life of purpose and adventure.

Erwin asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us - priceless opportunities for us to actively engage in God's plan.

Using the biblical account of Israel's war with the Philistines (1 Samuel 13 and 14), Erwin artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart - what he calls "the Jonathan factor."

As you develop these characteristics, you will learn how to:

• Respond daily to Christ's divine invitation.
• Seize the power of the moment.
• Discover a life of spiritual adventure.
