Playmaker Seasons
90-day done-with-you sprints to launch your ministry project—not just learn about it
You get a dedicated Playmaker coach who troubleshoots blockers, connects partners, and keeps you accountable. We work with you to execute, not just teach theory.
You Know What to Do.
You Need Help Doing It.
Most churches don't fail because they lack a plan—they stall because real-world blockers derail execution.
Partner ghosting
You sent 5 emails to the health department... but never heard back. Now what?
Capacity gaps
You're a solo pastor juggling 10 priorities. Community development gets pushed to "next quarter."
Unclear next steps
"Map the neighborhood" sounds simple... until you stare at a blank spreadsheet at 10 PM.
Playmaker Seasons solve this: You get a coach who's done this before and can navigate blockers with you in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we're not ready to launch yet?
That's what Cohorts are for. If you need to learn the framework first, join a 6-week cohort. If you already have a plan and just need help executing it, Playmaker Seasons are perfect.
Can we pause mid-season?
We recommend completing the full 90 days for momentum. But if life happens (staff transition, budget freeze), we can pause for up to 30 days and resume later.
What if we need more than 90 days?
Most churches book 2–3 consecutive seasons. Season 1 = Launch. Season 2 = Scale. Season 3 = Capture stories + sustain funding.
Do you match us with a specific Playmaker?
Yes. During your discovery call, we'll learn about your project type (health, workforce, education, etc.) and match you with a Playmaker who has relevant experience.
Can networks purchase seasons for multiple churches?
Absolutely. Network Accelerator packages include 2–3 Playmaker Seasons per year, spread across 5–10 churches. Ask us about bulk pricing.
