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 in your spheres of influence? Or do you too often feel a single thread away from unraveling, pressing on in fragile drudgery? Faithful long-term leadership is challenging and becoming more and more rare. The pressures of leading and serving continue to come at us week after week. But you are not alone. There IS hope because we trust in a big and awesome God who cares for you and your ministry uniquely.
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 we link arms and learn together. Joy is God’s heart for you as you use your gifts for Christ and His Kingdom.
