Question 1

How do I get started with Spiritual Side of Leadership?

Accepted Answer

The best way to start is with our free Superhuman Framework Assessment. It takes about 15 minutes and reveals which of the 4 Cornerstones and 10 H-Pillars need your attention most. After that, sign up for The Daily Drip (our free morning devotion for leaders) to experience our content style. When you are ready for deeper transformation, join our membership for full access to all tools, resources, and the AI Leadership Coach.

Question 2

What is the Superhuman Leadership Assessment?

Accepted Answer

The Superhuman Leadership Assessment is a free, 15-minute diagnostic that measures your current state across the 4 Cornerstones (Love, Purpose, Passion, Persistence) and 10 H-Pillars of faith-driven leadership. You will receive a personalized report showing your strengths, growth areas, and specific recommendations for your leadership journey. Over 2,000 leaders have taken this assessment to discover where they need to focus their development.

Question 3

Do I need to be religious to benefit from SSOL?

Accepted Answer

While our content is grounded in biblical principles and Christian faith, you do not need to be a lifelong believer to benefit. Many of our members are exploring faith for the first time, returning after time away, or simply curious about how spiritual principles can improve their leadership. We welcome seekers at every stage. The principles of Love, Purpose, Passion, and Persistence are universally applicable, and our approach is practical rather than preachy.

Question 4

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Most members report feeling a shift in their perspective within the first week of using our tools and content. The Daily Presence Check and Soul Journal create immediate mindset changes by starting each day with intention. Deeper transformation in areas like burnout recovery, decision-making clarity, and work-life integration typically emerges over 30 to 90 days of consistent engagement. Leadership transformation is a journey, not a quick fix, but you will notice progress quickly.

Question 5

What is the Superhuman Framework?

Accepted Answer

The Superhuman Framework is a comprehensive system for faith-driven leadership built on 4 Cornerstones (the internal "why") and 10 H-Pillars (the external "how"). The Cornerstones are Love, Purpose, Passion, and Persistence. These form your foundation. The 10 H-Pillars (Happy, Hungry, Helpful, Humble, Humorous, Honest, Healthy, Holistic, Human, and Holiness) are the visible expressions of that foundation. Together, they create a complete model for leading with faith while achieving business results.

Question 6

What does "Superhuman" mean? Are you saying I should be perfect?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. "Superhuman" does not mean perfection or self-powered excellence. It means leading beyond your natural abilities by partnering with God. Think of it as "Spirit-empowered Human" rather than "Superior Human." The framework acknowledges that true leadership capacity comes from divine partnership, not grinding harder. You are not called to be superhuman on your own; you are called to lead with supernatural support.

Question 7

What are the 4 Cornerstones?

Accepted Answer

The 4 Cornerstones are the foundational elements that exist in your "inner room," the private space between you and God. They are: (1) Love: Receiving God's love as the source of your identity, not earning it through performance. (2) Purpose: Understanding that your purpose is received from God, not self-created. It anchors you in storms. (3) Passion: Holy Fire fueled by calling, distinct from Hustle Fire fueled by fear and anxiety. (4) Persistence: Faith-rooted endurance that remains steady because you are not carrying the weight alone.

Question 8

What are the 10 H-Pillars and why do they all start with H?

Accepted Answer

The 10 H-Pillars are the visible expressions of your inner foundation. They live in your "outer room," how you show up in business and life. They all start with H as a memorable framework: Happy (joy independent of circumstances), Hungry (holy discontent for growth), Helpful (servanthood as identity), Humble (strength under control), Humorous (lightness rooted in trust), Honest (truth-telling as worship), Healthy (stewardship of body and mind), Holistic (no sacred-secular divide), Human (seeing others as image-bearers), and Holiness (being set apart for purpose).

Question 9

What is the difference between Holy Fire and Hustle Fire?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most important distinctions in the Superhuman Framework. Hustle Fire is fueled by fear, anxiety, comparison, and the need to prove yourself. It burns hot but leads to burnout. Holy Fire is fueled by purpose, calling, and partnership with God. It sustains you for the long haul. Both can look like hard work from the outside, but one depletes you while the other renews you. The framework helps you recognize which fire is driving you and make the shift to sustainable passion.

Question 10

What is the Owner vs. Steward mindset shift?

Accepted Answer

The Owner mindset says "This is MY business, MY responsibility, MY success or failure." It leads to carrying all the weight, feeling like the savior of your company, and tying your identity to outcomes. The Steward mindset recognizes you are managing something for Someone else. You are accountable but not alone. You carry responsibility without carrying the world. This shift is liberating because it allows you to work hard and rest well, to care deeply without being crushed by outcomes. It is central to everything we teach.

Question 11

What is included in SSOL membership?

Accepted Answer

Membership includes: (1) AI Leadership Coach available 24/7 with biblical wisdom, (2) Soul Journal for daily reflection with mood and activity tracking, (3) Daily Presence Check for morning spiritual rhythm, (4) Decision Canvas for spirit-led decision making, (5) Prayer Diary to track prayers and celebrate answers, (6) Superhuman Cockpit for weekly self-assessment, (7) Complete Resource Library with 245+ articles and 60+ podcasts, (8) The Daily Drip devotions delivered to your inbox, and (9) Access to all future tools as they release. New features are added regularly.

Question 12

How much does membership cost?

Accepted Answer

Membership is $17.77 per month or $177.77 per year (which gives you 2 months free). We chose these numbers intentionally as a reminder that faith and finances can align. For context, that is less than a weekly coffee run, yet provides daily support for your leadership journey. Family plans are also available. Group discounts exist for churches (up to 40% off) and organizations (up to 20% off).

Question 13

Can I cancel my membership anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. There are no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no hoops to jump through. You can cancel directly from your dashboard at any time. We believe in earning your continued membership through value, not locking you in. If SSOL is not serving you well, we want you to feel free to step away. Many members who leave come back later when the timing is right.

Question 14

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

We offer something better than a trial: free resources that give you a genuine taste of our approach. Take the Superhuman Framework Assessment for free. Subscribe to The Daily Drip devotions for free. Try our interactive tool demos for free. Read dozens of articles for free. This way, you can experience our content and voice before committing. When you join membership, you know exactly what you are getting.

Question 15

How is SSOL different from traditional coaching or courses?

Accepted Answer

Traditional coaching costs $300 to $1,000+ per month and happens in scheduled sessions. Leadership courses are one-time events that fade from memory. SSOL provides daily, on-demand support at a fraction of the cost. Our AI Coach is available 24/7 when you actually face decisions. Our tools integrate into your daily rhythm rather than being separate events. And our content library grows continuously with fresh perspectives. It is like having a faith-driven leadership coach, journaling practice, and resource library all in one.

Question 16

Can my church or organization get a group membership?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer group memberships designed for churches, marketplace ministries, executive teams, masterminds, and faith-based organizations. Churches receive up to 40% off to make it accessible for their leaders. Organizations receive up to 20% off. Group memberships include admin dashboards, onboarding support, and the ability to track engagement. Many churches use SSOL for their business leader small groups or marketplace ministry initiatives.

Question 17

Will more tools and features be added?

Accepted Answer

Yes, continuously. We release new tools and features regularly based on member feedback and the evolving needs of faith-driven leaders. Recent additions include the Superhuman Cockpit, Prayer Diary, and enhanced AI Coach capabilities. Your membership includes access to all future tools at no additional cost. We also have a community ideas board where members can suggest and vote on new features.

Question 18

What is the AI Leadership Coach and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The AI Leadership Coach is your 24/7 advisor trained on biblical wisdom and the Superhuman Framework. You can ask it questions about leadership challenges, decision-making, team management, personal struggles, and more. It responds with practical guidance grounded in scripture and faith-driven leadership principles. Unlike generic AI, our coach understands the unique tensions faith-driven leaders face and provides responses that honor both your faith and your business responsibilities.

Question 19

What is the Soul Journal?

Accepted Answer

The Soul Journal is a private digital space for daily reflection guided by faith and wisdom. Each entry allows you to capture your thoughts, track your mood, log activities, and connect your experiences to spiritual growth. Unlike basic journaling apps, the Soul Journal is designed for leaders processing complex decisions, managing stress, and seeking clarity. Your entries are completely private and can be searched to see patterns over time.

Question 20

What is the Daily Presence Check?

Accepted Answer

The Daily Presence Check is a morning spiritual check-in that takes less than 5 minutes. It helps you start each day with God at the center before the chaos of business takes over. You will reflect on your current state, set an intention for the day, and ground yourself in purpose. Many members say this simple practice has transformed their mornings from reactive scrolling to intentional centering.

Question 21

What is the Decision Canvas?

Accepted Answer

The Decision Canvas is a spirit-led decision-making framework for important choices. When you face a significant decision (hiring, firing, pivoting, investing, etc.), the Canvas walks you through biblical wisdom, practical analysis, and prayerful discernment. It helps you avoid purely emotional or purely analytical decisions by integrating faith into the process. You can save and revisit decisions to learn from past choices.

Question 22

What is the Superhuman Cockpit?

Accepted Answer

The Superhuman Cockpit is a weekly self-assessment that tracks your state across the entire Superhuman Framework. Each week, you rate yourself on the 4 Cornerstones and 10 H-Pillars, creating a visual dashboard of your leadership health over time. You can see trends, identify recurring struggles, and celebrate growth. It is like a fitness tracker for your soul and leadership capacity.

Question 23

Can I try the tools before joining?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer interactive demos of all our tools so you can experience them with sample data before committing. You will see exactly how the Soul Journal works, explore the Decision Canvas interface, and understand the AI Coach interaction style. These demos give you a true feel for the membership experience without needing to sign up first.

Question 24

How many articles and podcasts do you have?

Accepted Answer

Our resource library contains over 245 articles and 60+ podcast episodes covering every aspect of faith-driven leadership. Topics include burnout recovery, decision-making under pressure, leading with integrity, managing difficult employees, building company culture, work-life integration, financial stewardship, and much more. New content is added weekly, so the library continues to grow.

Question 25

What is The Daily Drip?

Accepted Answer

The Daily Drip is a free, 5-minute morning devotion delivered to your inbox Monday through Friday. Each edition combines scripture, practical leadership wisdom, and a reflection prompt to start your day with intention. It is designed for busy leaders who want spiritual input without lengthy reading. Over 5,000 leaders receive The Daily Drip each morning.

Question 26

What is the Beyond Your Default podcast?

Accepted Answer

Beyond Your Default is our podcast for intentional, faith-driven leaders who refuse to settle for default living. Episodes explore the Superhuman Framework, interview successful faith-driven entrepreneurs, and tackle real leadership challenges. Episodes range from 20 to 45 minutes, perfect for commutes or workouts. All episodes are available free in our resource library and on major podcast platforms.

Question 27

Can I search resources by how I am feeling?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our resource library includes a unique search feature that lets you find content based on your current emotional state or challenge. Feeling overwhelmed? Dealing with imposter syndrome? Facing a difficult conversation? Enter how you are feeling, and we will surface the most relevant articles, podcasts, and tools. This makes it easy to find exactly what you need in the moment.

Question 28

Are there downloadable resources and worksheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer downloadable worksheets, templates, and guides that complement our articles and tools. These include decision-making frameworks, reflection exercises, team discussion guides, and assessment summaries. Members have full access to all downloads, and some are available free to everyone.

Question 29

Can I really lead with faith and still succeed in business?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In fact, we believe faith-driven leadership is a competitive advantage, not a limitation. When you lead from love rather than fear, when you make decisions from purpose rather than panic, when you treat people as image-bearers rather than resources, you build organizations that attract and retain the best people. Faith does not make you soft; it makes you sustainable. The world is hungry for leaders with integrity, and that is exactly what faith-driven leadership produces.

Question 30

How do I integrate faith into my work without being preachy?

Accepted Answer

Integration is not about quoting Bible verses in meetings or pressuring employees to believe what you believe. It is about letting your faith inform your character, decisions, and treatment of people. The Holistic pillar in our framework addresses this directly: there is no sacred-secular divide. Your work IS worship when done with the right heart. You can be deeply faith-driven without ever mentioning religion, simply by leading with love, integrity, and service.

Question 31

I feel burned out. Can SSOL help?

Accepted Answer

Burnout is one of the primary challenges we address. The Superhuman Framework diagnoses burnout at its source: usually the Owner mindset (carrying everything alone) or Hustle Fire (running on fear instead of purpose). Our tools help you shift from surviving to flourishing by establishing daily rhythms, processing stress through journaling, making decisions from rest rather than anxiety, and reconnecting with your core purpose. Many members joined specifically because of burnout and found renewal.

Question 32

How do I make difficult decisions like firing someone with faith?

Accepted Answer

Difficult decisions are unavoidable in leadership, but faith changes how you approach them. The Decision Canvas tool walks you through integrating biblical wisdom with practical analysis. For something like firing, this might include examining your motives (is this about the business or personal frustration?), considering the person as an image-bearer (how can you honor their dignity?), and seeking peace about timing (have you done due diligence?). Faith does not eliminate hard choices; it provides wisdom for navigating them.

Question 33

Who is SSOL designed for?

Accepted Answer

SSOL is designed for faith-driven business leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives who want to lead with purpose without sacrificing results. Our members range from startup founders to CEOs of 500+ employee companies. They are people who take both their faith and their business seriously, who feel the tension between success and significance, and who want to integrate rather than compartmentalize. If you are a leader who cares about more than just profits, you belong here.

Question 34

What if I have a small team or am a solopreneur?

Accepted Answer

The Superhuman Framework applies whether you lead a team of 500 or a team of one (yourself). In fact, smaller operations often benefit most because the leader's personal health directly impacts everything. Our tools like the Soul Journal, Daily Presence Check, and AI Coach are especially valuable for solopreneurs who do not have colleagues to process challenges with. You will find resources specifically addressing the unique isolation of solo leadership.

Question 35

I am a Weight-Carrier who feels like everything depends on me. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

You are exactly who we built this for. The Weight-Carrier represents about 70% of our members. You are the one who lies awake thinking about payroll, who feels like the business would collapse without you, who carries stress that no one else sees. The Superhuman Framework specifically addresses the Owner-to-Steward mindset shift that liberates Weight-Carriers. You will learn to carry responsibility without carrying the world.

Question 36

I am an Integration-Seeker trying to connect my faith and work. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Integration-Seekers make up about 30% of our members. You have achieved business success but wonder if any of it matters eternally. You feel like you live two lives: Sunday faith and Monday business. The Holistic pillar in our framework directly addresses this sacred-secular divide. Our content helps you see how your work IS ministry, how business leadership can be worship, and how to live one integrated life rather than two competing ones.

Question 37

Where does my membership money go?

Accepted Answer

Ten percent of all membership revenue goes directly to charitable partners serving the most vulnerable. We support Lionheart Charities (serving foster families in Charlotte), charity: water (providing clean water globally), and World Vision (child sponsorship and community development). This means your investment in your own leadership also invests in those who need it most. We believe faith-driven leaders should lead with generosity built into the model.

Question 38

Which charities does SSOL support?

Accepted Answer

We partner with three organizations: (1) Lionheart Charities, serving foster and adoptive families in the Charlotte area through practical support and community. (2) charity: water, providing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. (3) World Vision, supporting children and communities through sponsorship, emergency relief, and sustainable development. Each partner was chosen for their proven impact and alignment with our mission.

Question 39

How can I contribute beyond membership?

Accepted Answer

Beyond membership, you can support our mission in several ways: (1) Gift memberships to leaders you want to invest in. (2) Connect your church or organization with group membership opportunities. (3) Donate directly to our charity partners through their websites. (4) Share SSOL with other faith-driven leaders who would benefit. (5) Leave reviews and testimonials to help others discover us. Every action multiplies the impact.
