A Leader's Great Fear
Driven leaders can feel like they have to be doing something significant or profound or life-changing all the time. John Ortberg suggests, however, that one’s mission should be something more than just what we are trying to accomplish. It should utilize the energy provided from God-given gifts in a way consistent with God’s will for a human life. In his Summit session, A Leader’s Greatest Fear, Ortberg will take an honest and direct look at the fears that can get every leader “off mission.” Exploring leaders’ default settings, his hard challenge will question whether or not we are using our talents for God’s purpose or simply for ourselves.

Yet, Shauna's voice, as you will read, is all her own
