This isn't another leadership course. It's a renovation.

Welcome to The Leadership Manifesto, our  deep-dive formation experience within The Academy. This is not a motivational pep talk or a surface-level leadership course. It is a thorough, restorative transformation of how you see yourself, your calling, and your capacity as a woman leader in the Kingdom of God.


Ruah + Ember exists to breathe life into the dry bones of female leaders; the ones feeling forgotten, hidden, and ineffective. Like an ember that still holds heat beneath the ash, your calling has not gone out. It just needs breath. This course is that breath.


The Leadership Manifesto is your building blueprint. Each session surveys the walls of your leadership, names what needs tearing down, and rebuilds with biblical vision, fresh courage, and unshakeable identity. You'll go head-to-head with how you've perceived your own leadership — and walk away with a manifesto that is truly yours.

Nine renovations. One wholehearted leader.

Each session confronts a belief that has kept your leadership small — and replaces it with a Kingdom blueprint for what Jesus is inviting you to build.

  • Standing resolute as women of valor conditioned for the deep waters of truth.

    (x) That we 'should' be satisfied wading in shallow faith.

  • Reimagining a Kingdom standard of quality + beauty.

    (x) Allowing status quo to stifle our God-given creativity + imagination.

  • Courageously forging a sisterhood bonded by vulnerability + trust.

    (x) Comfortably existing within isolated silos.

  • Championing powerhouses who nourish their own bodies, souls + spirits.

    (x) That our maturity is solely dependent on spoon feeding.

  • Reclaiming our voice over the stories God has written for our lives.

    (x) That shame + fear own the rights to our story.

  • Being a home for women to both land + launch, built on the foundation of hospitality.

    (x) That our fate is to be 'homeless' in our own faith communities.

  • Collective ownership, pulling every woman up in her unique leadership.

    That leadership is reserved for the 'select' few.

  • Called to treasure by name every woman hand-crafted by the God of the Universe

    (x) We are just a face in the crowd, unknown and over-looked.

  • Stewarding the dance of work, play + rest as we cultivate the vision God has planted.

    (x) That we must hustle 'til it hurts to walk in our God-given dreams.

Renovate your leadership. Revitalize your heart.

We aren't taking a slow wade-in approach. We're deep diving, headfirst into the water. The breakthrough doesn't have to happen at the end — it can happen right now.
