Join us on Friday, March 6, 2026 at 11:30 am as we welcome Kyle Bateson,  lead Pastor of Living Stones in Reno. In his talk titled Embodied Leadership, Pastor Kyle will explore the importance of recognizing that we are embodied souls, created and loved by God. Stewarding our physical bodies is not separate from our spiritual lives. It is an act of worship that strengthens our relationship with God and shapes us into more faithful and effective leaders.

Drawing from his background as a former athlete, personal trainer, executive leader, and now pastor, Kyle will share practical wisdom on how physical stewardship impacts mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual vitality. He will also offer simple and accessible habits that can help anyone pursue healthy living in the midst of busy professional and family life. 

This will be a timely and refreshing conversation for leaders who want to integrate faith, health, and leadership in a meaningful way.
