Lance Witt has long had a heart for the church, and a heart for those who lead it. It is a blessing and a gift that this heart is able to find expression through Replenish. For those who lead the church cannot give what they do not have.

Lance Witt is the real deal. His “Replenish” message is a timely “life message” we live out together, day by day, month by month, encouraging one another to the high calling of humility, health, and holiness. For 25 years he has served as pastor and staff member of small to mega churches, giving him incredible perspective of the unique pressures, challenges, and needs of church leadership. In a time when church success is often measured by numbers and a treadmill of activity, how one nurtures their soul becomes essential. The ministry of Replenish is a much needed friend to the local church!

I am so thankful that God is raising up such a qualified man as Lance to focus on the dignity and honor of our position as pastors. Lance’s character, integrity and caring spirit position him well to serve in this capacity. Lance says, “Our doing and leading must flow out of our BEING.” I couldn’t agree more. If this is the heartbeat of REPLENISH, may God give it a long life.

I trust Lance Witt with all my heart… why? Because he’s the type of leader who knows how to reach into the heart of a leader and guide him/her to spiritual health. He has led me to deeper places through his outstanding preaching, his personal consulting and his spiritual direction. Lance knows Jesus, he understands people and he has an exceptional insight into connecting with leaders! His gift-set is quite amazing. It was my privilege to share with him as a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church—I will never be the same because of his interest and investment in my life. He doesn’t just speak the message, he lives it.

Once in a great while, a pastor who is uniquely qualified to mentor pastors comes along. One of God’s men for that ministry right now is Lance Witt. He loves pastors! He understands pastors! His passion is for pastors!
Today’s pastors are beat up and burned out. They desperately need what Lance and his new ministry REPLENISH can offer: real help and real balance for the real battle they are in every day. I count Lance as one of my mentors and pastors, and can recommend him to you without reservation! God has used him in my life. God will use him in your life as well.

Lance Witt is uniquely gifted to encourage and challenge leaders. His years in the trenches of ministry along with his passion to create healthy leadership cultures make him ideal to help pastors and organizations.

While plunged in the vortex of ministry demands, pastors often allow their vision to out pace their vitality. A question left unanswered by many leaders is, “Who is caring for your soul?” Lance Witt now provides a new answer- Replenish. More than a ministry, Replenish is a idea whose time has come that will strengthen the soul and fortify the honor of the pastoral calling.

“Lance has been a consistent model of character and ministry competency for years. Who better to help us live healthy, humble and holy lives. He has been an impeccable model of all three. I am excited about the value Lance will bring to the ministry community through Replenish.”

We’ve watched spiritual leaders crash and burn. Unfortunately, there are few places where pastors can turn to for help. Lance Witt’s experience, integrity, and love for church staff members make him uniquely qualified to lead Replenish. Lance understands the importance of spiritual formation in the life of the servant leader. I would trust this man with my life.

Lance Witt brings a wealth of real-world experience and great heart to encouraging pastors. His passion is to equip church leaders to remain healthy, holy, and humble. Pastors interested in starting well, and finishing well will benefit from REPLENISH.

I can not think of another individual who could walk along side other pastors and their teams more effectively than Lance Witt. His vast experience as a Senior pastor and as executive pastor at Saddleback gives him the experience and background to assist others in their effort to follow Gods call in their lives. Coupled with Lances heart and passion for the local church and for those who serve make him a tremendous resource and partner for every church.
