HOW WILL YOU LEAD?
REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE
February 21-22, 2025
resilience
leading faithfully with joy
Would your leadership style be described as joyful? Do you have a steadfast, confident hope that is contagious to those under your influence? Or do you too often feel a single thread away from unraveling, pressing on in fragile drudgery? Burnout is real. Faithful long-term leadership is challenging, even to the strongest of people. Each one of us carries a weight that often feels like too much to bear. The Christian leader is not exempt from this reality, but there is hope.
Paul exhorts us in 1 Corinthians, “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” At the REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE, you will be encouraged to grow in joyful resilience as you serve and lead in your various spheres of influence. Joy is God’s heart for as you as use your gifts for Christ and His Kingdom.
