The question isn't whether you're ready. It's whether you're willing.

What this book delivers

At twenty, on a hilltop above Long Beach, Eric Schram almost said no. He felt too young, too untrained, too unready for the leadership he was being handed. If you’ve ever heard the question Who am I to lead?, this book was written for you.

Built on Paul’s charge to a young Timothy — “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example” — Young and In Charge walks through the five qualities that make leadership real and lasting: speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. It weaves the depth of the original text together with hard-won, practical wisdom for leading from the inside out.

From David overlooked in the field to the weight of the mantle you’re being asked to carry, this is a field guide for emerging leaders in ministry and the marketplace — leadership built to last a lifetime, not just a season. Includes a 16-week small-group study guide.
