CONFERENCE TOPIC
Jesus in John
A Manifesto for Leadership in the 21st Century
Everybody who leads “in Jesus’ name” claims to love and follow Jesus. But much that happens “in Jesus’ name” in the 21st century incites fear, anxiety, and tribalism, leaving church leaders discouraged, anxious, cynical, and burnt out far too often. What’s desperately needed is a fresh look at Jesus’ own life and words. He’s our reference point, but more. He’s our Source and unless we “fix our eyes on Him” our leadership will create messes, both in our institutions and our souls. Our time together will consider the “I AM” statements of Jesus in the gospel of John because all that we need to lead well in whatever context God has called us is Christ – as both source and example.
