FIRST THURSDAY WEBINARS

October webinar:

The New Rules for Leadership Development in 2026

With Dave Miller

OCTOBER 1, 2026
12:00 pm EST

The world has changed under our feet—and the way we develop young leaders has to change with it. Join Dave Miller on October 1 at noon Eastern for New Rules for Leadership Development in 2026, a practical conversation about what today’s emerging leaders need from the people developing them. We’ll challenge some of the assumptions many of us have carried about training, coaching, ownership, and preparing people for ministry—and explore what needs to change if we want to develop leaders who are ready to lead the Church into the future.

If you’re over 30, you’re going to want to hear this.


Some of the previous guests of First Thursday: Dr. Tim Elmore, Dan Rockwell, Brittany Crimmel, Rich Birch, Holly Tate, Warren Bird, Stefanie Rowe, Dr. David Fletcher, Mandi Smith, Brandon Cormier, Lisa Birle, Dillon Smith, Tiffany Henning, Andy Brightbill, Gabrielle Christie, Austin Rockwell, Matt McKay, Kristin Miller, and others… We are thankful for all who give of their time and story to influence young leaders and those leaders that lead them.

This webinar is brought to you by our good friends at Norton Creative.

Your church can have all the benefits of an in-house creative and strategy team for less than the cost of a part-time employee.

Simple. Smart. That's why we talk about them everywhere we go.
