Spiritual Leaders – Walk with Jesus

I am fascinated by all of the attributes of what makes leaders great leaders.  We can all learn skills & gifts to make us better leaders but to truly be a spiritual leader, you have to walk with Jesus daily!   Before He sent His disciples out to do a task or to execute their […]

Spiritual Leaders are Tenacious

I have enjoyed so much my time interviewing amazing leaders about what makes them who they are!  I had the privilege of knowing Shannon Bream while in college and it has been so awesome to be a spectator watching her rise to one of the best in her field!  It is so easy to see […]
