Meet Our Founder

Debbie_FormalHeadshot_Final-1.jpg

Rev. Debbie Lamm Bray, PhD

Minister, leader, teacher, researcher, author, mentor, coach

After more than thirty years in ordained ministry, Debbie Lamm Bray sensed that God was leading her to something new. When God prompted her to focus her thoughts on her long-held desire to foster spiritual and leadership growth and on provide safe spaces for pastors, ministers, and their spouses, her heart awakened in a new way. 
 

When God said, "Now," Leaders Who Last was born.

Debbie holds a Master of Arts in Theological Studies focused on Bible/New Testament and a PhD in Higher Education with an emphasis on Organizational Leadership.  She is ordained with the Assemblies of God. 
 

​​

She has served on church staff, volunteer leadership in churches, Christian university campus leadership, and ministry boards.  She has published articles, a blog, and a book.  She has taught theology, calling, ministry, and Bible courses for a university and for churches.  She leads CliftonStrengths workshops for ministry teams.  She coaches, mentors, and serves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Debbie knows she is not done learning and growing. 

 

She believes that embracing that journey with others in courage and humility is foundational to authentic Christian life, let alone healthy leadership. 

 

She believes that healthy leadership is God's plan for His people. 

​​

And she believes that leaders who grow in courage and humility become 

Leaders Who Last.

What Leaders are Saying

"Stillness in the presence of God is very difficult for me. This retreat provided an opportunity to practice that and find a peace I have never had."

A pastor, on the experience of participating in a Still Waters Retreat

“Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
- Jesus (Matt 11:28)
Live deep instead of fast.
