EHS is about helping people develop a deep personal transformative relationship with Jesus Christ out of which they serve the world. EHS is a solution to the problem of shallow Christianity and people not changing. EHS recovers biblical truths overlooked in Western culture (e.g. the gift of limits, loss and grief, brokenness and vulnerability). EHS enables leaders to serve both long-term and joyfully out of a deep interior life with Christ.We as leaders cannot give what we do not possess.
