HOW WILL YOU LEAD?
REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE
February 9-10, 2024
Lead with Conviction
We are not called to lead in silence but to speak with love, humility, and conviction.
It doesn’t take more than a quick look around you to realize the world has dramatically changed. Businesses, schools, board rooms, and governments have new sets of rules that often conflict with the biblical worldview. So what are we to do? Certainly living in a quietly passive manner, hoping it will all blow over, might seem like the easiest route. But we are called to a higher purpose. To speak truth. To lead with love, humility, and conviction. To understand the times and respond rightly to a world hungry for the gospel.
Whether you are a pastor or ministry leader, school administrator or teacher, entrepreneur or politician, at the REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE you will be challenged to live out your faith in your spheres of influence with courage and love. Equipped with a greater understanding of why the world around you is so unrecognizable, and given the tools to navigate, influence, and lead, we pray you will leave stronger and bolder, ready to make an impact for Christ and His kingdom.
