What Drives Bethel Leaders Network? Kris Vallotton Shares His Vision

Learn how Bethel's core values and mission are shaping an apostolic family dedicated to transforming culture and fostering a sense of belonging among leaders.

A few years ago I heard a TED talk by Dr. Brené Brown entitled, The Power of Vulnerability. In her talk she shared the fact that we are all neuro-biologically wired for connection/relationship. She said that the greatest core need of every person in the world is to feel like they belong. Later, I heard a powerful quote by Robin Williams who said, “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.” Yikes!

A year later I woke up in the middle of the night with a decree from the Lord. He said, “Create a place where leaders can belong.” I came to our team and shared the word with them. Through my tears I said, “We must find a way to create a culture where leaders feel at home; welcomed, honored, celebrated, and known.” Everyone was immediately on board.

We realized that we needed to build a completely new structure to accommodate this divine mandate. After many more months of dreaming, Bethel Leaders Network (BLN) was born, and is emerging as an apostolic family of leaders who are equipping the generations to transform culture and shape history.

We specifically seek out leaders who:

• Carry the DNA of Bethel and express it in every sphere of influence
• Are committed to living from our family core values
• Are passionate about cultivating this divine connection
• Are serious about seeing the global expansion of God’s kingdom

If this is you heart's cry, we invite you to prayerfully consider joining Bethel Leaders Network. We would love for you to get connected more deeply with Bethel and join us in shaping history!

Much grace,

Kris Vallotton
