Weave & Cleave
Creating communities of belonging
The Success of the Movement!
This video premiered at April's Third Annual Weave and Cleave Conference! Our movement's success is a testament to over 50 statewide leaders, 75 faith-based organizations, 150 trainings, and annual conferences drawing 300+ participants and 50+ experts. We also exemplify strong collaboration with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family, creating communities of belonging anchored in unconditional love, trauma-informed care, and cultural transformation.

Jeff McGee grew up as the son of a pastor and a teacher. He walked away from faith in young adulthood, but then the Lord brought him back. Today, he's a Christian leadership educator, an author, and executive coach committed to helping leaders live and lead according to Kingdom values. Recognized as a Titan 100 Leader in Phoenix, Jeff doesn't just talk about leadership, he models it.
Recently, with the launch of Kingtopia College, Jeff added 'college founder' to his roles, and during his conversation with Sanghoon and Michelle, he shares about the lived experience that prompted him to create a college that removes the financial barriers preventing many single parents (especially single dads) from pursuing a degree. This episode covers many topics, from historical trauma, the struggle of single fathers, leadership pitfalls and how to overcome them, and living a life without fear or regrets. Need encouragement to follow the vision or purpose God has given you? This episode provides it.
