Marketplace Leaders are shaping more than companies - they’re shaping culture, families, and communities.

We’ve seen incredible momentum at Vantage Leadership Initiative:

✔️ Growing Professional Forums

✔️ Leaders stepping into facilitator roles

✔️ Marketplace professionals integrating faith and leadership

✔️ New relationships, meaningful conversations, and lives changed

We believe the marketplace is one of the greatest mission fields of our time. When leaders are equipped with biblical wisdom and surrounded by Christ-centered community, the ripple effect extends far beyond the workplace.

Our April 2026 recap highlights the growth, impact, and vision continuing to unfold across Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley.

Welcome to the Team, Seth Keller!

We are excited to officially welcome Seth as our NEW Director of Programs at Vantage Leadership Initiative!

Seth brings 15 years of experience in vocational and bi-vocational ministry-as both a worship pastor and a sales leader-and a deep passion for serving others with purpose and excellence. Alongside his wife Dana and their three daughters, Eisley, Taya, and Lennon, God led their family to Huntsville-and they’ve already fallen in love with this community.

Here’s what Seth shared about stepping into this role:

"I’m thrilled to join the team at Vantage Leadership Initiative as Director of Programs. I’m eager to use my experience to further God’s kingdom in the marketplace. I’ve seen firsthand the need for leaders to have a biblical framework for guidance and a Christ-centered community for growth. I’m excited to equip leaders, engage them in community, and expand Christ’s kingdom by making disciples for God’s glory. Let’s get started-guiding, growing, and glorifying together!"

Seth’s heart aligns deeply with our mission to equip leaders, engage them in community, and expand God’s Kingdom through disciple-making leadership.

We believe God is continuing to grow this ministry in powerful ways-and Seth’s leadership will help strengthen and expand the impact across our city.

What thoughts keep you up at night?

For many leaders, it’s provision-
finances, people, outcomes.

But you don’t have to carry that weight in isolation.

God is already aware.
Already at work.
Already present in what you’re facing.

That truth doesn’t remove responsibility-
it changes how you carry it.

Something exciting is happening at Vantage… and it’s creating space for more leaders to grow.

Over the next month, we’re launching 3 new Professional Forums for Men and Women as God continues to grow the reach and impact of Vantage Leadership Initiative.

One of those is a brand new Women’s Forum in Madison, led by Bobbie Santiago, launching this June.

So what is a Vantage Professional Forum-and why does it matter?

Many Christian leaders are navigating pressure, decisions, and growth… alone. But leadership was never meant to be done in isolation.

A Vantage Professional Forum is a small, trusted group (just 6-8 leaders) that meets weekly to:

✔ Process real leadership challenges

✔ Grow in faith and decision-making

✔ Build meaningful, authentic relationships

It’s not another meeting.

It’s a space to think clearly, lead confidently, and grow consistently.

Because of the small group format, each forum is limited to approximately 6-and spots fill quickly.

If you’re a Christian woman in the Madison area looking for this kind of leadership growth, we invite you to apply on the Vantage website here:

Thanks Clayton Joyner at UR Choice Insurance for letting us use your conference room space for these meetings!

Most leaders don’t need more effort-they need clarity.

Before pushing harder this week, try something different:

Pause.
Pray.
Then move forward with intention.

Clarity doesn’t come from doing more.

It comes from leading with the right foundation.

Join a Vantage Professional Forum and grow with other leaders.

THIS is Vantage.

“There has to be more to life than this.”

That question led Patrick Morley to a lifetime of helping leaders discover their identity and purpose in Christ.

Last week, that same message reached leaders across our city-and the impact was real:

• 50 leaders interested in forums
• 11 stepping into leadership
• 7 new relationships with Christ
• 13 renewed commitments

We believe the marketplace is one of the greatest mission fields of our time.

And when leaders are equipped and supported, the ripple effect reaches families, workplaces, and communities.

God is doing something meaningful in our city-and we’re so grateful to be part of it!

Worry often shows up disguised as responsibility.

Leaders carry a lot-and that’s part of the calling.

But here’s the freeing truth:
Not everything you’re carrying actually belongs to you.

Some things are yours to lead.
Some things are God’s to handle.

And knowing the difference brings clarity and peace.

Moments like this remind us-leaders aren’t meant to do this alone.

You’re leading… but what are you actually depending on?
Every leader depends on something.

The good news? You get to choose what that is.

When uncertainty rises, it’s easy to rely on strategy alone.
But the strongest leaders pause and seek God first.

That shift changes everything-
how you think, how you lead, and how you carry pressure.
“Seek first the Kingdom…” - Matthew 6:33

Take 5 minutes today to reflect: Where am I relying on myself instead of God?

Want to dig deeper-join a professional forum and lets do this together!

He is risen.

Today we celebrate the hope, freedom, and new life found in the resurrection of Jesus.

No matter what season you’re in, this is the reminder we hold onto:
God is faithful.
God is present.
And through Him, there is always hope.

Happy Easter from Vantage Leadership Initiative.
