THE ARENA: PASTORS & MINISTRY LEADERS
A monthly live coaching call designed to sharpen your preaching, strengthen your leadership, and renew your spiritual life.
Ministry is demanding.
Every week you carry the responsibility of preparing sermons, leading teams, and walking people through their greatest challenges. It’s inspiring, but it can also be exhausting.
Too often, pastors and ministry leaders pour out for everyone else and never create space to be sharpened themselves. Without intentional growth, sermons get rushed, leadership feels heavy, and your own spiritual life can run dry.
That’s why we created The Arena: Pastors & Ministry Leaders. It’s a simple, focused way to stay strong, clear, and spiritually alive.
A place to refuel your leadership and reignite your purpose.
Every month, you’ll step into a live 2-hour coaching call with Erwin McManus, The Arena team and special guests built exclusively for pastors and ministry leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, courage, and faith.
In each session, you’ll gain practical tools and fresh perspectives on the challenges you face every week; from sermon prep and team leadership to personal spiritual growth.
No replays. No filler. Just real conversations designed to strengthen your preaching, your leadership, and your soul.
Why this works
The rhythm is simple:
One call. Two hours. Every month.
That’s enough to:
Reset your perspective
Sharpen your preaching and leadership
Reconnect with the purpose behind your ministry
You’ll walk away with insights you can apply immediately - in your next sermon, your next meeting, or your next conversation.
When you create space to think, breathe, and grow, you lead with focus, confidence, and peace.
The health of your team, your church, and your calling all start with the health of your leadership.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
✅ One 2-hour live coaching call every month with Erwin McManus, special guests and The Arena Team.
✅ Training + Q&A on sermon prep, team leadership, and spiritual growth
✅ Monthly reminders and Zoom access link sent to your inbox
No replays, no distractions. Just two hours each month where your full focus and presence create real growth.
“Countless times I’ve come into our call facing a challenge and the talk Erwin gives will speak directly to what I am facing. It’s been an incredible answer to prayer.”
