Tyler Reagin stepped onto the Catalyst stage before 100,000 Christian leaders, and something shifted in the room. Not because he offered another leadership framework or productivity hack, but because he asked a question nobody wanted to answer: Are you bringing life or death to the people you lead? In workplaces where 65% of employees would trade their boss for a pay raise, this question lands like a punch. We've normalized leadership that drains rather than energizes, that extracts rather than invests. But what if the entire premise is wrong? What if leadership was never meant to be a transaction of authority for compliance, but a divine partnership that breathes life into dry bones?
