In partnership with C12 Business Forums, Barna’s new report surfaces how CEOs who lead with faith are navigating today’s cultural, organizational, and spiritual challenges differently. 

Why This Report Matters:

In a world of rapid change, what does it mean to lead with faith? Our research explores exactly that. Based on survey responses from hundreds of senior executives, the report reveals how faith-forward CEOs shape culture, make decisions, and lead with conviction. 

Key Insights:

• Clarity of Calling: A significant share of faith-forward CEOs say their sense of purpose gives them resilience in crisis.

• Values-Driven Culture: Those who lead with faith report higher alignment among their executive teams around ethics and mission.

• Faith & Risk: Faith-forward leaders take certain types of risks, especially those involving long-term vision or mission alignment that secular peers may avoid.

• Loneliness, Support, and Community: Many express that leading from faith brings isolation; the ecosystems that support them matter.
