Let’s Grow with Jeff Whittaker

Our faith is only as credible as our follow through. If you really believe God told you to write a book, then write it! If you really believe God told you to go back to school, then register for classes. If you really believe God told you to start a business, then go get your license! It’s not the beliefs we declare but rather the beliefs we carry out that determine whether or not God’s purposes in our life will be fulfilled. You and I can decide what 2023 will look like for us; not in declarations and confessions alone, but in the decisions and choices we make over the next 365 days. It's time to follow through!

Over the course of just 7 years, YLR, has grown into the Premiere gathering place for over thousands of Young Leaders each year. He has hosted three successful Young Leader Retreats and 3 successful Young Leaders conferences with registrants from the 49 state and 20+ countries! His passion for ministry and the market place, as well as the tools he uses for success, is a game changer! You'll definitely grow after hearing his insight!
