WEEK 1 - Reclaim Your Authority

10.1.0

Hello, Chaos

A cinematic declaration addresses chaos directly and announces the return of a man willing to act, protect, and take responsibility. The mile marker shifts the course from personal change toward outward authority.

10.1.1

Grasp the Sword

The world’s disorder becomes a summons rather than an excuse for passivity, blame, or retreat. You are called to accept the authority and responsibility already placed in your hands.

10.1.2

Reclaim Your Authority

Dominion is distinguished from domination and abdication as the work of cultivating, protecting, ordering, and multiplying life in entrusted ground. You identify your domains and choose how to steward them for the good of others.

WEEK 2 - Check the Ego

10.2.1

Check Your Ego

Ego weakens leadership through defensiveness, self-protection, image management, and the need to be central. You practice surrender, a kingdom-focused vision, and generous service so authority remains accountable and useful.

WEEK 3 - Train for Freedom

10.3.1

Discipline Equals Freedom

Discipline turns intention into durable strength by training attention, emotion, body, and will toward a chosen good. You build habits that create the freedom to follow through, carry responsibility, and become trustworthy.

WEEK 4 - Decide What You Believe

10.4.1

Believe

Belief is not passive optimism—it is one of a leader’s most powerful creative acts. Through the example of Ted Lasso, you’ll learn to believe in people before the evidence, call out the gold before it glitters, extend grace before it is deserved, and help the people you lead rise into who they can become.
