The Next Chapter of Leadership: Humble(d) Yet Confident
Speaker: Joel Kim
Description: Both the Bible and the history of the church are full of “turning points,” when the church is confronted with rapid changes and increasingly complex challenges. Most …would agree that today is such a time. How do we as Christian leaders serve the church well in this changing environment? We look to the Scriptures to remind us of the limitations that we have as leaders but encourage us with the confidence in the Lord we serve as He Himself leads and guides.

Leading from Your True Self
Speaker: Ken Shigematsu
Description: The experience of shame is more common than we think. It isn’t confined to people who have failed or gone through trauma. People who are immensely successful …also feel they are not quite enough. Drawing on Ephesians 3:16-19 and using stories from his life, Ken Shigematsu shows how a deep, experiential encounter with the love of God can heal us from the shadow of shame and enable us to live and lead with greater joy and lightness of being—to become our true self—which most reflects the beautiful image of God.
