A 12-month program for leaders ready to accelerate real progress in their church
Most churches are not limited by vision.
They are limited by execution,
because they lack Innovation Capacity.
You attend conferences.
You gather ideas.
You feel clarity in the moment.
Then you return to:
- weekly pressure
- competing priorities
- limited time
- constant interruptions
And very little actually changes.
The problem is not a lack of vision.
It's not a lack of effort…
or ideas…
or passion.
The problem is a lack of Innovation Capacity.
The Propel Accelerator exists to help you build the Innovation Capacity required to lead real, sustained change.
Who This Is For
This is for leaders who are:
- committed to leading their organization into the future
- feeling the gap between vision and execution
- wanting real progress, not incremental improvement
- ready to move forward, not just gather ideas
- willing to make hard decisions
If you are ready to turn vision into real, measurable progress…
Propel Accelerator is for you.
What Changes Over 12 Months
The Innovation Capacity Framework will help you experience:
Clarity on What Matters
- define true priorities
- eliminate competing demands
- lead with focus, not reaction
Consistent Forward Progress
- make measurable progress every month
- stop cycling through ideas
- build real momentum
High-Leverage Decisions
- focus on what actually propels your church
- stop managing low-impact work
- move forward with confidence
Disciplined Execution
- define your Next 3 Moves each month
- follow through with accountability
- turn vision into action
Increased Leadership Capacity
- practice disciplined subtraction
- remove what is holding you back
- create space to lead effectively
Stronger Team Alignment
- define clear ownership across your team
- make faster, more confident decisions
- move forward in a unified direction
Before
- 12+ competing priorities
- constant reactive decisions
- unclear ownership across the team
- ideas introduced but not implemented
After
- 3 clear strategic priorities
- focused, proactive leadership
- defined ownership and accountability
- consistent monthly execution
Most leaders clarify priorities within the first 30 days, and monthly execution rhythm is established by the third session.
The Innovation Capacity Framework
The Innovation Capacity Framework is a practical model for removing the constraints that block execution and prevent sustained change.
It focuses on five critical areas that determine whether vision turns into execution:
- strategic focus
- structural ownership
- repeatable systems
- reserved capacity
- distributed leadership
The Propel Accelerator applies this framework directly to your leadership context, helping you strengthen the areas that are limiting progress.
The Execution System
- structured capacity assessment
- monthly Next 3 Moves
- disciplined subtraction
- focused advisory sessions
- progress tracking and accountability
How It Works
This is a 12-month advisory relationship focused on implementing the Innovation Capacity Framework:
- begin with a structured assessment of your current capacity and constraints
- clarify your vision and strategic priorities
- meet monthly for a focused 60-minute advisory session
- define your Next 3 Moves each month
- practice disciplined subtraction to create space for execution
- receive targeted support between sessions
This Is Not For Everyone
This is not for leaders who:
- want more ideas without execution
- are not ready to make hard decisions
- are unwilling to eliminate competing priorities
- are looking for casual or low-commitment coaching
This program is not:
- a course or content library
- a mastermind or group discussion
- weekly coaching with unlimited access
- a place to collect more ideas
- a program for passive participation
The Propel Accelerator is:
- focused advisory applied to your real leadership challenges
- disciplined execution, not just discussion
- clear decisions and consistent follow-through
- measurable progress over 12 months
This is for leaders who are ready to do the work required to move their church forward.
Investment
- $5,950 paid in full
- or $595 per month (12-month commitment)
This is a meaningful investment for leaders who are serious about making real progress over the next 12 months.
This is an investment, not a cost.
The real cost is another year of stalled progress and unfinished initiatives.
