The Leadership Anvil

Engaging, Equipping, and Empowering Academics and Leaders

The Mission of The Leadership Anvil is to bring glory to God by engaging, equipping, and empowering academics and Christian leaders in all spheres of culture and society to serve Christ effectively.

Even though most European cities have a history of Christian roots, most Europeans today have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel.
Many Europeans now see Christianity not only as false, but as an immoral and oppressive religion. This has led to “Christophobia” or disdain for the faith.
Unbelief — atheism and agnosticism — is the fastest growing “religion” in Europe. There is even a category of Europeans who call themselves Christian atheists — they belong to a church, but don’t believe in God.
Less than 3% of Europe's population is evangelical.
Less than 1% of the total population in a dozen European nations consider themselves evangelicals.
Evangelical churches in Europe are struggling to survive against cultural pulls and political opposition.

Europe is truly the most post-Christian, secular, hardest-to-reach continent in the world.

Europe is Lost
in a Dark Age

“The spiritual darkness of today's Europe calls for a new Reformation—a Reformation which spreads the Gospel across the continent and revitalizes and strengthens the Church.”
Dr. Daryl McCarthy

The Need and The Call

Christian academics, church leaders, professionals, and political leaders recognize a need in Europe for biblically based leadership training. Leaders across Europe are asking to be better equipped to serve God more effectively in their places of calling. Helping them is why The Leadership Anvil exists.

Our Strategy for Equipping Academics and Leaders

Speaking

Presenting guest lectures at universities and speaking at conferences, churches, and other gatherings to encourage and equip believers, especially academics and leaders.

Writing

Producing articles, books, blogs, and social media posts to equip academics, leaders, and believers in all walks of life to serve Christ and impact their world.

Networks

Establishing city-wide, regional, and national networks of Christian academics and ministry leaders. These Academic Networks and Leadership Networks provide regular times for equipping, encouragement, and connecting.

Conferences and Mentoring

Hosting conferences for academics and leaders and mentoring postgraduates, academics, pastors, and ministry leaders.

For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.
