“Any delay in learning…means a delay in serving because the way of serving lies in brokenness and the degree of discipline we are willing to receive. There is no way to enlarge our sphere of service unless we also broaden the scope of our experiencing spiritual learning. We cannot help others learn what we have not learned ourselves.”
The Center for Sharing believes strongly in a Servant-Leader philosophy and shares that philosophy with Broetje Orchards, a fruit company that seeks to live out Christian values in a corporate setting. As a not for profit entity, the Center for Sharing works to teach and facilitate the practice of Servant Leadership to other like minded entities in business, non-profit and faith communities. We also seek to build model servant led communities to raise up leaders amongst marginalized people groups.

What others say about the Center For Sharing’s Servant Leadership Courses:
Saying that my SLD experience has been life changing may sound a bit cliché, however, it is certainly not an exaggeration. Learning to serve taught me that I wasn’t as smart as I thought I was and learning to lead accentuated my brokenness and paved the way to healing. Although arduous at times, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

The SLS changed my life. It was my very first experience in a community that allowed me to go on a deep inner journey, accepting my areas of brokenness and considering my real God-given calling. The SLS revealed to me the amazing, but often ignored, truth that we are ‘broken to be given.’ As a result of the SLS I see people differently – imagining the amazing gifts they have to give that flow out of their brokenness and poverty. I learned that service is very different than charity – it is a communal giving of our lives for each other.

There are so many benefits and so much to consider and think about. I really enjoyed the class and am so thankful for Cheryl’s servant life and willingness to share her wealth of experiences and knowledge. She is a true gift and such a privilege to take a class from her, she is a talented and dynamic leader.
