Leadership Shouldn't Feel This Heavy
You care about the mission
but the constant stress, people dynamics
and emotional pressure
make it feel like you're barely holding it together
We Understand What It's Like to Lead While
Spun-Up and Anxious
Most leaders aren’t taught how to manage internal reactivity. You end up drained, second-guessing, and stuck in unhealthy patterns both personally and with your people. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your wellbeing to serve the mission.
Capable Life Gives
You a Simple Way Forward
- Lower your inner reactivity: even in tense situations
- Build trust: strengthen your relationships
- Lead with peace: not pressure
Created by Steve Cuss, a pastor and leadership coach who has helped thousands of faith-driven leaders become less reactive and more resilient.

Capable Life is fundamentally transforming my approach to ministry and to myself. It has helped me notice what’s going on inside of me, tune in to God’s presence with me, identify and turn from false beliefs within me, and actually be present for others—the very essence of my calling. I am a much better pastor because of Steve and his team. I highly recommend you join Capable Life!
Matthew Hoskinson
The Capable Life community has been a great addition to my support system. I look forward to the monthly Zoom meetings, masterclasses, and seeing new video modules pop up in my feed. The greatest asset has been the ability to name the relational dynamics I am facing. This all has added up to a less anxious presence (at least internally).
Ryan Wood
This experience has been life-changing for me! It’s so applicable and speaks right to my heart. I still have so much to learn and I cannot wait!
Amber B
Our staff had an overwhelmingly positive response because Steve shares his own stories, he makes it fun and Steve helps us process the concepts – helping us name sources of anxiety and ways we can identify and manage it.
Marvin Williams
Capable Life is an accessible and practical approach to understanding life and leadership through the lens of family systems. Applying its principles in relationships at home and work will lead to less conflict, healthier relationships, and deeper satisfaction. It has especially helped me lead and manage my organization more effectively in this season of COVID.
Jim Johnson
This content is gold. I go back to the modules again and again — and glean new insights each time.
It helps me be less anxious and more present to my coaching clients.
Sylvia Lawrence
Capable Life has helped me experience the life-changing power of the Gospel in ways that I had previously lead others to sing about (as a worship pastor) but didn’t always experience personally.
The tools and training available have helped me apply God’s Word in my life and it’s been transformative. I live day-to-day closer to Jesus, and in more of His freedom. The result has been more ministry effectiveness but also more life-giving refreshment in Jesus.
