From the beginning, our founder wanted to create something bigger than himself. He did not want this work to depend on one person’s charisma, one person’s insight, or one person’s name. He wanted it to be about the work God does in the human soul, and he knew that meant leadership had to be multiplied.

That is why the Crucible Project retreat is built on co-leading.

Most Crucible Project retreats are led by three co-leaders who serve together, listen to one another, challenge one another, and continue to grow together. Leadership here is not isolated. It is shared. That protects the space, strengthens the process, and reminds everyone involved that no one person sees everything clearly all the time.

There is wisdom in that model. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” Shared leadership is not just efficient. It is biblical. It reflects humility, accountability, and mutual dependence.

This also means Crucible is not built around a personality cult. It is not “the ministry of one remarkable person.” It is a growing network of trained leaders who continue to do their own work and offer what they have received to others. The strength of the organization is not in one name. It is in a culture of transformation, replication, and faithfulness – all pointing toward Jesus.
