Founders’ CEO Hosts 2026 Spring Heritage Forum at Pursell Farms
To kick off Q2, Abide and Lead gathered at Pursell Farms for the Spring Heritage Forum (April 6–8), where leaders stepped away from daily demands to rest, refocus, and reconnect with God’s purpose for their lives and leadership.
Hosted by Abide & Lead—a community of CEOs, founders, and leaders pursuing Kingdom impact—the Forum is designed to inspire, equip, and connect leaders to live and lead from a place of abiding in Christ.
More than a forum, it was a sacred space for alignment. Led by Duane Donner, Founder and CEO of Founders Advisors, and a trusted group of facilitators, men were challenged to reflect not just on what they’re building, but who they’re becoming. Through teaching, testimonies, and intentional conversations, many experienced clarity, breakthroughs, and renewed vision—for their businesses, families, and walk
with the Lord.
Whether around the fire, over meals, or in quiet moments, a deeper brotherhood formed. Leaders were reminded they are not meant to lead alone and were called to remain connected to the Vine through a daily rhythm of abiding with Jesus.
This journey continues through huddle groups and the broader Abide & Lead community, with resources like the Impact CEO Podcast and Word of the Week to support ongoing growth. We’re expectant for what God will continue to do through these men for generations to come. Find out more about the Abide & Lead community at www.abideandlead.com or reach out to Hawk Cornwell.
