You Are A Leader is not a course about titles—it’s an awakening. Most people think leadership is for the gifted, the confident, or the experienced. But Jesus tells a different story. He looks at ordinary people and says, “You are the light of the world.”

This journey is designed to help you discover the leader God already placed inside you. Not someday. Not when you feel ready. Right now.

Through Scripture, teaching, and personal reflection, you will begin to see yourself the way God sees you—empowered, called, and filled with His Spirit to bring transformation into the world around you.

This isn’t about striving to become a leader.
It’s about waking up to the truth:
God has already empowered you to lead.

Throughout this course, you will::
 Discover your identity as a Kingdom leader
 Learn to lead like Jesus—with power and humility
 Break free from feelings of inadequacy and disqualification
 Begin thinking bigger—God-sized, generational vision
 Step into your unique leadership calling and sphere of influence

Each session includes teaching, reflection, and activation—so this is not just something you watch… it’s something you live.

Pastor Drew East

Drew has served in ministry for more than twenty years in roles including Youth, Worship, Care, Prayer, Freedom, and Associate Pastor. During his ten years at illuminate church, he pioneered a Freedom Coaching model that reshaped the pastoral care culture of the church. This training equipped Holy Spirit-led leaders to walk people through Biblical healing, freedom, deliverance, identity restoration, and spiritual breakthrough.

Freedom Coaches were trained to guide people directly to Jesus, the true Healer. This approach multiplied healthy leaders, reduced pastoral burnout, and created a culture of freedom that brought transformation to the church from the inside out.
