Jesus demonstrated a very different approach to leadership in comparison to the religious leaders of His day. The way He served His disciples, the way He communicated with them, and the way He sacrificed on their behalf exhibited the way He expected Christian leaders to emulate. However, many leaders in ministry continue to practice a hierarchical approach that leaves people feeling unseen, unheard, and ultimately, unloved. This project proposes empathy as the key to unlocking the servant leadership approach Jesus demonstrated. The four-week leadership seminar focuses on the power of empathetic leadership offering an array of teaching and practices specifically for the ministry leader. Incorporating both intrapersonal and interpersonal skill development, the seminar unwraps strategic methodologies for self-empathy, one-on-one empathy, team empathy, and organizational empathy
