THE LION IN YOU
NEVER RETREATS
Proverbs 30:30

The Lion’s process for Christian pioneers and entrepreneurs, provides a place to dream and a time to prepare, connecting you to passionate Kingdom-minded people and helping you lay firm foundations for the challenges ahead.
For those who dare to apply, joining the Lions could be your opportunity to turn a good idea into a powerful reality. And change the world as we know it…
HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?
Maybe you’re someone who dreams of one day pioneering a church, starting a business or launching a new social enterprise, but have as yet not found the people or the environment in which to realise those dreams – if so, maybe The Lions is the kind of opportunity you have been looking for.
The Lions Experience brings together a number of significant people working at the top of their field, individuals who understand the need to share experience with people worth investing in.
Drawn from every sphere of influence including church, commerce and community, Lions are Christian men and women impacting society who are ready to pass on their expertise to others.
For a strictly limited number of kingdom-focused people who are committed to serving their local church, The Lions will provide:
- A Place to Dream
- An Environment to Prepare
- People to Partner With
THE PROCESS
We are searching for 16 dedicated delegates to join us for six weekends away at The Belfry Hotel in Birmingham. Besides being an opportunity to connect with like-minded people over coffee and around a meal table, each delegate will experience an interactive learning environment that is more living room than classroom in style.

The Belfry Hotel in Birmingham
By means of Case Studies, Workshops; Interviews, Discussions, Q & A, Site Visits, Team Building and Reading Assignments, The Lions and their special guests will create an interactive learning environment that will become a fundamental characteristic of the whole Lions experience.
All of which will make each weekend an invaluable part of this unique personal development programme.
Some of the weekend topics will include:
- Anatomy of a Pioneer
- Good Idea or God Idea
- Faith & Works
- Shaping & Sharing an Idea
- Creating Culture
- Developing a Workable Business Model
- Spiritual Leadership
- Building the Kingdom or an Empire
- People Matters
- Dealing with Failure
- What Success Looks Like
All weekends will train and mentor you to the big finale ‘The Lions Lair’. This is your opportunity to present your finely tuned idea, project or business to The Lions in a 8 minute presentation and convince us to give you seed funding and another year of mentoring.
In order to prepare for The Lions Lair we will help you create a business plan, teach you how to structure your presentation and give you have a clear understanding of how your idea can positively grow God’s Kingdom.

Piers Morgan’s awful interview of minister responsible for tackling domestic abuse without bothering to get her talking about how we are dealing with that at this critical time, because he wanted to shout at her for other ministers not pre-ordering enough PPE, is a good example. https://twitter.com/Lord_Sugar/status/1254866098136035329
I agree with all this
