Book Description

The war over our culture is no longer a theory— it is a clear and present reality. We can see the mayhem, but we often feel helpless in the face of invisible forces that seek to destroy the very fabric of our modern civilization. The line between good and evil seems blurred and at times it can be difficult to tell whether you are part of the problem or the solution. The social tools we relied on decades ago just don’t seem to work the same way today. We need a fresh understanding of the bad philosophies that threaten us, as well as powerful language and practical tools to cultivate real and enduring peace in our generation. For the days ahead, you’ll need more courage and wisdom than you have ever had before. In this book, you’ll find new understanding, mindsets, and encouragement you need to be a more powerful force for good right here, right now. 

What people are saying about the book:

Simply brilliant. Leigh writes with a true gift for making profound concepts accessible in bite-sized chunks. She courageously holds a mirror to American culture pointing to strengths and weaknesses, while both identifying the problems and proposing real solutions. A must read for any true culture-creator. 

– Dan McCollam, Author, Speaker, and Founder of Sounds of the Nations, Co-Founder of the Prophetic Company and Spiritual Intelligence Institute

Leigh Sloan has written a modern-day masterpiece. Pride and Privilege is a clarion call for a generation to rise above current societal norms. This book will challenge the reader to choose to rise above the toxic tribalism of our times and move toward each other with genuine curiosity and respect for the inherent dignity of other humans. She invites us to embrace “cathedral thinking” and dare to begin building something that will last for many generations. It’s time we re-learn to hold multiple paradigms in tension to have transformative conversations that will change the cultural landscape of our world for the betterment of all. Are you ready to get your brave on? If so, you will love this book!

– Meagan Blessing, Author of Going to Extremes: trusting God with the adventure of your life, MeaganBlessing.com

Pride and Privilege urges and equips readers to become catalysts for brave conversations. With a compelling Kingdom framework, Sloan provides practical guidance for co-laboring with God and others to promote reconciliation in your sphere of influence.  It’s a powerful read for Christ-followers willing to have transformative dialogue and answer the call to be a solution in today’s culture.

– Shae Bynes, Founder of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur and Author of Grace Over Grind

Leigh Sloan brings understanding to this confusing world. Before reading her book, Pride and Privilege, I sometimes felt like society was moving so fast in the wrong direction that I couldn’t keep up. Her book put the pieces together for me, lifted me to place with a higher perspective, and gave me confidence to stay engaged. Leigh imparts wisdom while crafting every phrase and sentence skillfully. She trumpets a clear call to remain in the game. Remain in the light. Be the light that is confidently shining in your sphere of influence. However big or small that is, your light and influence is eternally significant.

– Dr. Harold R. Eberle, President of Worldcast Ministries and Publishing

Are you truly living your life to the fullest? Not holding back and engaging in the authenticity of your divine design? Sadly, most of us live far beyond what God intended because we misunderstand some aspects of God’s intentions toward us. We live our lives so consumed with others’ priorities for our lives, that we miss igniting our passions and fulfilling our true purpose. In this 8 week class, we will guide you through the process of creating a “purpose statement” that will help you focus your life around some guiding principles that will cultivate your passions and protect your purpose.

Who is crying out for you to arise and discover your true design? Who will be left without a solution until you can learn to unlock the kingdom potential in your life? This class is for those discovering their purpose for the first time and for those who might be going through transition and need a reframing of who they already know they are. Downloadable workbook pages will help guide you in your journey. You will also be given the opportunity to participate in discounted personal live coaching sessions with Leigh as you create your unique purpose statement.

Part 2 of Passion and Purpose is coming soon! In this part, we will give you the tools to begin walking in your purpose right now.

Public Speaking

If you are interested in inviting Leigh to speak at your next event, please schedule a time to speak with her or her manager at the link below.  Most topics can be adjusted for faith-based or non-faith based groups. If you have another idea for a topic, we are open to a conversation about it. 

Topics for All Audiences

  • Brave Conversations: Debates are becoming less effective in our postmodern world. “Safe spaces” might be well-intentioned, but are often equally ineffectual. What we need is brave people engaging in brave conversations. Learn the tools and boundaries around conversations that bring significant reformation.

  • The Point of Privilege: The word “privilege” has been weaponized in recent days, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Discover how the focus can shift from an accusatory victim orientation to an opportunity to use our privilege to benefit the world around us.

  • Linguistic Intelligence: Words are to our age, what bronze was to the Bronze Age. Words have the power to create worlds of understanding or confusion. It’s no wonder words are weaponized against us. Learn the art of wielding your words with skill so that you see more transformation each time you open your mouth.

    Faith-Based Topics
  • Passion and Purpose: Christians typically know who we all are as children of God. What we don’t know is the specific reason we were created as individuals.  In other words, we know our “last name” but are unclear about our “first name.” All creation is yearning for the sons of God to be revealed. It’s time we put effort into discovering and activating who we are.

  • Cultivate Cultural Reform: Many Christians don’t engage in government, in controversy, or in much needed societal reforms because they fear getting caught up in petty arguments and perpetuating problems. But separating ourselves is not the solution. This message will help us more skillfully integrate our faith into every area of life with the both courage and wisdom needed as we bring light and salt to our spheres.

  • Christianity in a Postmodern World: Most people underestimate or take for granted the effect Christianity has had on our present culture. They have highlighted the skeletons in our closet and seek to deconstruct all cultural norms to the point that we lose the heritage that helped us prosper for centuries. Now is not the time to try to recreate the past, but to ask ourselves how God is moving in the midst of our chaos and how we can be agents of that hope and change for such a time as this.

Seminars (about 6 hours of content to meet your needs) 

  • The Cultural Architect’s Workshop: addresses the key barriers to clear thinking and communicating in our postmodern culture. It will help leaders to more clearly identify how they can create lasting and positive change in their spheres of influence. It will explore key concepts from the book: Pride and Privilege. We will examine four key cultural pillars that shape our present reality, give you keys to becoming a brave conversationalist, unravel and reinvent concepts that our culture has weaponized, and begin reconstruct hope-filled solutions in the midst of the chaos.
  • Brave Conversations: this workshop-style seminar is for groups who want to intentionally begin having brave and transformative conversations. Whether it is cultivating braver conversations in their workplace, personal lives, or their larger community, we believe that you can’t have transformation without brave conversations. Learn healthy boundaries around these conversations so you don’t go into them unprotected and blind. Whether you want to create brand new venues for community conversations or you want to infuse it into your existing culture, this seminar will help you begin the transformational process.
  • Passion and Purpose: for Christians who want to gain clarity around the specific purpose for which they were designed and begin taking steps to advance that purpose. When people get ahold of their purpose it is amazing how fast they move forward and realize their God-given potential. Each person will walk away with a powerful purpose statement that will help guide them in this current season of life. They will identify the common pitfalls in walking out that purpose so that they will be able to run their race with grace and joy. Doing this as a group is transformative as you identify and mine the gold out of those around you.
