Larry Osborne

"Larry Osborne has been one of my primary mentors for the last decade on my life. I’m a better leader, husband and father because of his investment. His wisdom and help have helped me to go further faster."

“Larry is the Yoda of ideas and decision making. He has made me and my teams exponentially better. He just knows what to do and how to do it - and says it all so precisely. Drawing on his experience and down to earth personality, he is one of the best leaders I have ever had the privilege of knowing. An argument about this or that can often be won by simply saying, Larry says. Debate over. Let’s get on with it. What a gift to the body of Christ!”

"Larry Osborne has mentored me for over a decade now. He has incredible influence over my life, both personally and vocationally. In ministry, he has not only impacted me, but people all over the Jacksonville area and really the world. The amount of access he's given to leaders like me, especially when I was a young leader and even until today as a seasoned leader, has really been incredible. His wisdom, his insight, his vulnerability and his authenticity or things that have helped me know God better and lead God's trip better.

"We call Larry the “Yoda” of pastoring. Not only has he been successful in his own leadership, but he has spent decades mastering the art of investing in others. Larry gives practical advice that you can use right away, along with the care and support of a seasoned pastor’s heart."

"Larry has 100% revolutionized the way I see ministry. The perspective that he brings to the table is practical, easily put into motion, and full of wisdom. He brings incredible clarity to extremely complex problems I’ve faced as a pastor. Over the last 6 years of working with Larry and being involved in his mentorship groups, I’ve broken through ceilings I didn’t even know existed in my life."

"My time with Larry has been transformative. I cannot tell you how many times in a week I begin a sentence by saying, “you know Larry says…” Larry started coaching me when I was barley 30 and was less than 2 years into planting a church. Over the last 10 years that church has grown to over 3k with multiple campuses and a church planting family. Larry played a vital role in our church's journey."

"Each year I set aside a few days to spend with Pastor Larry and a cohort of church leaders from around the country. His fresh insights around leadership and the mission field we are serving as well as life in ministry has proven invaluable to me."

"Larry has been a trusted mentor and advisor for nearly 30 years. Not only has he helped me through many difficult situations in life, but he was invaluable in 2 corporate turnarounds that become great successes. His wisdom is always rooted in the timeless truths of scripture, and it is seasoned with his experience of countless practical applications to human nature. He has been a Solomon to many, and I am extremely fortunate to be counted among them."

"I’ve benefited from Larry’s wisdom for nearly 30 years. If you find yourself in a position of influence, decision-making, and responsibility, Larry Osborne is your indispensable secret weapon for increasing probability and confidence that you are thinking clearly, deciding well, doing what’s right, and communicating what you mean. His intelligence, insights, organizational techniques, and knowledge of how people tick and why things work are battle tested and proven from decades of being a team builder and leader at the important moments when clear, concise, and correct decisions are needed, made, and executed."

"Larry answering your questions about life and ministry is like having Tom Brady or Michael Jordan teaching you what it takes to win. Whether it’s leadership, shepherding, preaching, marriage, or parenting, his advice is Yoda-like. You will never get pie-in-the-sky theory from him—just biblical wisdom worked out in real world situations. I count it one of God’s great gifts to me that He crossed my path many years ago with Larry and his wife, Nancy."
