Simple. Actionable. Strategic.

Proven Systems to Help Pastors Thrive In Every Area of Ministry

Taught by Active Ministry Practitioners

Training Days are designed to help you bypass the learning curve (and mistakes) of ministry leadership in areas beyond the pulpit. You don’t have to ‘figure it out’. With Training Days you can learn & lead with confidence knowing you’re using a proven framework.

How we think about Training Days.

What Makes A Training Day Ideal

Each Training Day take less time than reading a book, is less expensive than traveling to a conference, is more immersive than reading an article, and more proven than trying to figuring things out on your own.

Choose Your Training Day

Each Training Day is approximately 45 – 60 minutes long and is presented in video format.

Training Days Deliver

What ministry leaders have to say about their Training Day experience.

This was so enlightening! It has educated me on what we are doing right and what we need to improve. Most importantly, it has given me ideas on how to improve the areas we need to improve. Love Pastor Luke’s training!!

Kenneth H.

Senior Pastor

It is evident that Luke and Dave have created this training as “practitioners”. As a ministry leader, the training was helpful, encouraging, and actionable.

Autumn G.

Director

I love the heart behind this and the big picture and minute details to help us better our weekly prep. This is timely. I needed a FRESH perspective on how to do more with the same 24 hours I have. 

Josué V.

Lead Pastor

This training will help me greatly refine what I am already doing but could be doing so much more effectively and efficiently. It’s so encouraging to see that I am in the ballpark. Grateful for you pastors Luke & Dave! Highly recommend for all pastors/ministry leaders.

Carlo M.

Campus Pastor

It was clear and full of usable content. Also really appreciated Q&A. We’re going to take top 20min and share with our team leads next month so also appreciated it being recorded!

CJ M.

Youth Pastor

This has been so incredibly practical and helpful. The discussion about accountability was helpful, as were the insights about strengths and weaknesses. Thanks for making this available.

Dave W.

Discipleship Pastor

Each Training Day is taught by Luke Simmons, Lead Pastor at Ironwood Church in Mesa, Arizona. Learn more about Luke.

Meet Your Instructor

I’m Luke Simmons — I’ve been in full-time pastoral ministry since 2004 and I’ve got the scars to prove it. After all those years, I’ve remained joyful in ministry, my family loves the church, and I still delight in helping people meet, know, and follow Jesus. I want the same for you.

Sometimes we need an experienced coach who can answer questions, offer suggestions, cheer us on, and be confident on our behalf. That’s why I’m here.

God has graciously allowed me to serve as a church planter, lead pastor, preacher, and leadership coach (read my full bio here). I love learning and when things I’ve learned get to help other leaders… oh baby, that’s the good stuff.
