Together we identify and remove anything holding us back from living and loving more like Christ, so that we can live with greater clarity and courage in every dimension of live, and play our role in making it on earth as it is in heaven.

JEFF SPADAFORA

Jeff Spadafora is a former management consultant and leadership development expert for Fortune 1000 companies. In 2005, God led him to repurpose his time, talent and treasure toward helping successful people in mid-life transition discover and engage in their second half calling.  He did this as a part of the leadership team at the Halftime Institute where he was the Director of Life Purpose Curricula that was used by thousands of people. He was also Director of Global Coaching Services and trained 41 Halftime Institute-certified coaches in 6 countries.

As a result of training Halftime coaches, directly coaching 100’s of successful Christians one-on-one, and speaking and facilitating workshops globally, he wrote The Joy Model to provide a blueprint for people to live with peace, purpose, courage, character and freedom.

 In 2018, on an extended sabbatical along the Mediterranean coast of Spain, the Holy Spirit guided Jeff back to the fundamentals of discipleship.  To double-down on being a life-on-life disciple maker and not an organization builder. To help men break through any and all barriers preventing them to live and love like Christ. To grow in this direction with others, locally, over time. 

If you're ready to take the next step in your personal, professional and faith life, then join one of The Way small group communities and let the adventure begin.

JON SBOROV

Jon Sborov is a Coach & Spiritual Director at The Way.  He has a background of 25 years serving in men’s ministry and church leadership while balancing and navigating a career in technology consulting, where he specialized in continuous process improvement and organizational change management serving enterprise clients across the healthcare, media, and financial sectors.   

With a solid foundation of mentors that invested into his life after coming to faith from an unchurched background, he has come to understand that true discipleship occurs within the context of connection and relationship.  His faith journey led him to serve in various ministry roles within the church, until the call of the “wilderness pastor” very clearly emerged in his life. As he was wrestling with what God was laying on his heart, Jeff Spadafora invited him to join a cohort of The Way.  While his hope was that the experience would provide clarity on his calling, it unexpectedly became the catalyst for life transformation.  Out of that experience, Jon co-founded The Pursuit podcast and then launched UpRising as a mentorship ministry designed for life-on-life discipleship.  Over the last 2 years, Jon has served as a coach and leader of 4 cohorts in The Way, ushering them through the same program that revolutionized his own life.   

Transformation is a messy, miraculous, hard, complex, beautiful, and necessary process… the one thing it is NOT is passive.  It requires a man to be “all-in”.  In response to that call, Jon retired from his corporate career and most recently walked away from his avocation as a Division 1 college football referee. He has thrown down the gauntlet in his own life in order to invest, challenge, and lead men into true life transformation that enables them to find and answer the call of God on their lives that echoes in Romans 8:19 – “All of creation is waiting, in eager expectation, for the sons of God to be revealed!”  

Married for 30 years to Tara, they have 4 adult “kids” in their 20’s, and they are now enjoying an exciting empty nest season, taking as many date nights, weekend trips to the mountains, and beach vacations as their schedule allows.  Together they lead pilgrimages and missions trips, and have a passion for working on the medical and clean water needs in Rwanda.

Jeff Hahl

Jeff Hahl serves as the Director and Coach for The Way’s Aspiring Leaders program, where he is dedicated to mentoring and equipping the next generation of young men to thrive in life and faith. With over a decade of experience working with youth and young men in Denver—many from gang backgrounds and fatherless homes—and having lived and mentored in Rwanda, Jeff has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of intentional mentorship.

As a long-time leader in organizations like Young Life and as a basketball coach, Jeff has poured into countless young men over the years. In addition to his organizational involvement, he has mentored many outside of these structures, walking with them through challenges and guiding them toward purpose. Jeff noticed a troubling pattern: after turning 18, many young men lost the support systems they relied on—teachers, coaches, and youth programs—leaving a critical gap during one of the most pivotal seasons of their lives. This realization led Jeff and The Way to launch the Aspiring Leaders program, designed to fill that gap with life-changing mentorship, coaching, and community.

In addition to his mentorship work, Jeff draws on extensive experience in real estate investing and private equity. By blending his professional expertise with his passion for guiding others, he has created opportunities for young people to gain valuable skills and insights through internships and hands-on learning in his real estate ventures, equipping them for future success.

Outside of his work, Jeff loves spending time with his wife, Carly, and their son, Zander. He enjoys staying active and exploring Colorado’s outdoors, whether hiking, biking, or finding new adventures with his family.


What we believe

  • God is spirit, omnipresent, and pure love.

  • We came from Love, to be loved, to go love.

  • God is not mad at us when we sin. God is mad at evil for high jacking our minds and causing us to sin.

  • Unidentified sin (aka ignorance) and unrepentant sin (aka obstinance) blocks us from receiving the blessings God is trying to give us.

  • Jesus is the visible image of God. He is our Savior and Lord. He modeled The Way.

  • The Holy Spirit is alive in us, wants to guide us, and is our source of comfort and power.

  • Personal transformation happens best locally, over time, and in small groups.

  • There is no freedom without authenticity.

  • Life-on-life discipleship is the method of The Way. Courage, creativity, joy and the advancement of God’s love is the result.
