November is here, and across the globe, believers are rallying for YouVersion’s Global Bible Month! It is the perfect time to commit to intentional Scripture engagement and challenge ourselves on what it truly means to follow Christ.

And there is no better way to kick off next month than by challenging our own definition of influence and power.

I am thrilled to announce my new 30-day Bible Plan, Upside-Down Leadership: 30 Days to Lasting Impact. This plan is a direct challenge to the conventional wisdom of leadership. If you are ready to lead well, love well, and finish strong, this journey is for you.

The Problem: Why Conventional Leadership Fails

​We live in a world that rewards the pursuit of the top: titles, influence, and the climb up the corporate or social ladder.

But that frantic chase often leads to burnout, disconnection, and a legacy that is powerful, yet shallow. The leadership principles we were taught are fundamentally flawed because they miss the one defining truth: true greatness is found in the place we often ignore.

The Solution: The “Lead Last” Philosophy

My “Lead Last” philosophy, which forms the foundation of this plan, teaches that leadership is not a position; it is a posture. It starts with humility, and humility begins with service.

Jesus—the greatest leader who ever lived—endured betrayal, rejection, and isolation, yet He never gave up or hid from the cross. Instead, He rewrote the rules of leadership by embracing the lowest posture—washing dirty feet—and offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice.

​In this 30-day guide, you will be challenged to follow His model and learn how to:

  • ​Embrace True Humility: It is the countercultural principle that disarms critics and builds trust.
  • Lead with Authenticity: Discover the paradox that Vulnerability is Divine Strength.
  • Leave a Lasting Legacy: Find the courage to serve boldly at home, work, or wherever you are called.
