Sanctus Paths To Leadership: Path of The Soul 

Sanctus Paths to Leadership is designed so that the participants further develop their relationship with God and come to a deeper understanding of His heart for the lost. We categorize all of our session topics along a pathway system of total devotion. These “Sanctus Paths” are not mutually exclusive categories; even as these components mesh in the life of each believer, they will overlap during the course of the semester. Below is a description of the second of the SPTL Paths as well as a description of each of the topics that will be covered.   

Path 2: PATH of the SOUL

Mark 8:34 – 38

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

It is fascinating what material can be examined by looking into the immaterial part of a person—the soul. Participants will consider matters such as personal calling, vision, and dreams for the future. Have you ever wondered, “How do I hear from God”? We will explore topics like, a leader’s relationship with God and divine guidance, with a view to helping you understand your destiny. 

The Path of the Soul will focus on the following topics:

• Understanding God’s Calling and Determining your Vision

Do you believe you were born with a purpose? Do you believe God actually calls people to accomplish things for him? Do you have a dream? We will investigate what the Bible says about these matters, and apply it to your personal journey. 

• Divine Guidance

Is there a more pressing and constant question than, “How can I know God’s will?” It is not difficult to hear God’s voice when your desire is to serve Him. We will examine the secret to guidance—coming to God with clean hands and a pure heart. 

• Spiritual Authority

What could God do with individuals who confidently exercise the authority, rights and privileges that He has granted to his children? 

We will un-wrap promises related to spiritual authority, helping you to realize the full authority of Jesus Christ living in you.

• Communication of the Soul

How do we communicate with God on a soul level? David in Psalms often talked about his soul crying out. What does this mean? Why is the cry of our soul so important in kingdom-focused leadership? Why is it important to communicate with God on a soul level? 

• The Leader’s Relationship with God

Our reason for leading must be found in the nature and being of God Himself; if we don’t know Him well, we will never lead well. This is a study in the attributes of Godly authority.

• Communication with God and A Leaders Dependency on God

Our Path of the Soul focus will conclude with a focus weekend on why communication with God is so important and why kingdom-focused leaders are dependent upon God. We will also focus on how leaders can better communicate with God and how leaders can teach others to do the same.
