Welcome!

What does it truly mean to lead with wisdom, courage, and grace? Lead Like a Saint opens the door to answering this profound question. Step into the captivating world of leadership inspired by the life and legacy of Saint Patrick, a man whose influence still reverberates centuries later.

Within these pages, you’ll discover that Saint Patrick’s leadership wasn’t born out of privilege or power but forged in the fires of hardship and redemption. He was kidnapped, enslaved, and yet ultimately rose to become a shepherd—not just of flocks, but of people. His life teaches us one simple yet often overlooked truth: true leadership begins with the transformation of your own heart.

Here are just a few of the rich themes explored in Lead Like a Saint:

• Leading with Humility: Saint Patrick saw himself as a servant first, a leader second. Do you? The book asks this question boldly, challenging readers to exchange pride for purpose.
• Vision Rooted in Integrity: Patrick’s dreams—both literal and spiritual—became the compass by which he guided not only himself but his entire mission. How do your own convictions shape your vision for leading?
• Courage in the Face of Adversity: From enduring captivity to facing rejection, Patrick showed resilience we can all learn from. The book dives deep into how leaders today can rise above life’s storms with their character intact.

Saint Patrick’s leadership goes beyond conventional wisdom—it offers an entirely new perspective. Have you ever thought of leadership as an act of love? One of the book’s most memorable lines says it best: “Great leaders don’t just solve problems; they see people. They pour their energy into healing souls, not just fixing systems.

Each chapter is packed with real-life applications, timeless wisdom, and opportunities for reflection. It’s not simply a set of lessons; it’s a guide for transformation. You’re invited to reflect on this thought-provoking question posed by the book, “Are you holding on too tightly to control, when perhaps the call on your life is simply to obey?”

And, just to keep things interesting? Carson Pue’s storytelling will have you laughing one moment and moved to introspection the next. His knack for weaving humor into hard truths makes the book a joy to read—even while it demands your heart.

Whether you’re a seasoned leader, a reluctant one, or someone still searching for your purpose, Lead Like a Saint offers guidance that is both practical and profound. It’s an invitation not merely to lead, but to lead well.

Are you ready to lead like Patrick—to lead like a saint? Take the first step… the transformation begins here.

Lead Like a Saint:

A sixteen-year promise. A deeply personal journey. A call to leadership inspired by faith. Carson Pue’s newest book, Lead Like a Saint, is more than another addition to his bestselling work—it’s a story woven with patience, love, and unwavering purpose.

You might already know Carson as the author of the widely praised Mentoring Leaders, Mentoring Wisdom, and But If Not. These books have guided countless leaders toward clarity, courage, and a deeper understanding of their callings. But this new release, Lead Like a Saint, represents something even more profound in Carson’s life—a culmination of years of thought, prayer, and a promise fulfilled.

Here’s the thing about Carson. He doesn’t rush. If you’ve read his work, you know every word he writes is intentional. He draws from his reservoir of experience, mentoring Christian leaders, serving in organizations, and—perhaps most significantly—living faithfully in the everyday roles of husband, father, and Grandpa. And that slow, intentional approach is evident in this book.

Sixteen years ago, Carson made a promise to his late wife, Brenda, that he wouldn’t take on any new book projects until he completed his “Patrick” book. For those familiar with his heart for storytelling, you’ll know how deeply rooted that commitment was. Brenda’s encouragement—and her memory—have been foundational in shaping Lead Like a Saint.

This book doesn’t just glance over what leadership could look like; it dives deep into what it means to truly lead like those who have profoundly shaped the faith—saints, both ancient and modern. But don’t worry—it’s not a dry history lesson wrapped in a leadership bow. If you know Carson, you know his work always speaks to where we are right now.

Lead Like a Saint invites us to reflect on mentoring questions in each chapter. What kind of leader are we called to be? How do we lead with authenticity while keeping our focus on God? And, perhaps most tellingly, what does our leadership legacy look like? These are not easy questions, but they are questions worth wrestling with, and Carson walks beside you as you engage with them.

Whether you’ve followed Carson’s writing for years or are just getting started with his work, Lead Like a Saint has something for you. It challenges, yes, but it also encourages. It draws on the rich traditions of faith while speaking directly to the challenges of today’s leaders.

This book isn’t just another leadership resource; it’s a gift—a gift from a man who knows the weight of leadership and the joy of living faithfully in every role we’re entrusted with. Carson has poured sixteen years of wisdom, reflection, and prayer into Lead Like a Saint—and it shows.

Are you ready to lead differently? More fully? More faithfully? Then perhaps it’s time to learn how to Lead Like a Saint.
