LEADING FROM WHOLENESS
Integrating Spirit, Soul, and Body
September 13–15, 2026 | The Potter’s House of Dallas
Leadership has never demanded more.
Every day, leaders are called to make difficult decisions, care for others, navigate uncertainty, and carry extraordinary responsibility. Yet too often, the very people entrusted with leading others quietly neglect their own spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being.
The result isn’t simply burnout.
It’s fragmentation.
The 2026 Jakes Divinity School Fall Symposium invites ministry and marketplace leaders into a different vision of leadership—one rooted not in relentless performance, but in biblical wholeness.

Leadership Was Never Meant to Cost You Yourself.
Success doesn’t always equal health.
You can build an organization while neglecting your family.
Grow a ministry while slowly exhausting your soul.
Lead with excellence while quietly losing your joy.
Scripture presents humanity as an integrated whole—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Yet modern leadership often separates what God designed to function together.
This year’s Symposium explores a better way.
Through biblical scholarship, theological reflection, leadership research, psychology, and practical application, we’ll discover what it means to lead from a place of wholeness—so our influence becomes sustainable, our leadership becomes healthier, and our lives reflect the Kingdom we proclaim.
What You’ll Gain
Over three transformative days, you’ll discover how to:
- Cultivate resilient leadership that lasts.
- Integrate spiritual vitality, emotional intelligence, and physical stewardship.
- Lead through uncertainty with wisdom and clarity.
- Build healthier organizations, ministries, and teams.
- Develop practices that sustain both your calling and your well-being.
- Connect with leaders committed to faithful, holistic leadership.
