The world needs us, my beautiful friends. It’s past time to learn to lead well together and honor each other, men and women alike.
March! Saints — It’s 2020
When I met Ken Harrison I knew there was something really special about this guy. I was so happy to discover that he was a real down-to-earth leader and also a little bit of a younger look alike version of George Clooney. I thought maybe it was just me until other people who saw the cover said the exact same thing. Anyway, I appreciate a man that will look you in the eye, and Ken does, but he’s very unassuming. He’s empathetic and really present.
Ken worked as a Los Angeles police officer on some of the most crime-filled streets in America and has seen it all when it comes to crime, suffering, violence and even death.
His stories in his book “Rise of the Servant King: What the Bible Says about Being a Man” will keep you on the edge of your seat. I heard other women say to read it because women will also appreciate the lessons as well as men. I agree. I read it all and loved it! Ladies, I say go and get the book for your husband for the New Year, but read it yourself too.
Ken is the right guy to become the new CEO of Promise Keepers (yes, it’s back). They’re claiming a new era for PK and I believe that will be the case. Many people thought it went to the wayside, but God is bringing something seemingly dead back to life, and bringing redemption as well.
Ken never wanted to take on a dead organization. Hey, his words, not mine. But God had a perfect plan and the perfect man for the job. After retiring as a police officer and a successful business man who built a lucrative kingdom of his own, God asked Ken a direct question. “Will you have as much ambition for my kingdom as you did your own?” You’ll have to read the story to get the scoop (page 60).
Needless to say, Ken’s on the cover because God is going to use him to rise up men to change the game in America. He’s been discipling men to be the men God intended for them to be for their wives, families, churches and communities for years. Now with PK and his new book he has the opportunity to make a much bigger impact as a kingdom leader.
Leadership, justice, bravery, and legacy are all topics covered in this “March! Saints” issue, as well as 2020 lenses.
God wants us all in position, marching forward and not looking back. 2020 is a ground-breaking year and we ALL have a part to play in that—not just the men.
Ladies, it’s time to do the brave work—to transform your story, discover your voice and face what holds you back. The world needs us all my beautiful friends. It’s past time to learn to lead well together and honor each other, men and women alike. That’s how we leverage our leadership and influence in the church and in the world—love one another like Jesus.
