J.R. Briggs

J.R. knows that all leaders need someone to come alongside them to encourage, equip, resource, befriend, and hold them accountable to their goals. J.R. loves getting to do that. With over 20 years of coaching experience, he is always aware of what an honor and privilege it is to have leaders grant him permission to have a front-row seat to their growth and development. He has worked with kingdom leaders in a wide variety of backgrounds: ministry, leadership, the non-profit world, business, academia, military, etc.

J.R.’s passion for equipping Kingdom workers to become better leaders has led him from spending over 15 years in different pastoral roles to authoring books, being a guest speaker and professor at universities, and eventually to founding Kairos Partnerships. J.R. also serves as the Director of Leadership & Congregational Formation for The Ecclesia Network. 

When he is not working, J.R. can be found swimming, kayaking, reading, writing, traveling, hiking, skiing, eating good sushi and Thai food, and of course cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies and the Michigan Wolverines.
