Leadership Lessons from Jesus’ Example

What if God was one of us?

Convene Chair Andy Beal recently shared a powerful reflection on leadership, inspired by The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey.

When we think about Jesus, we don’t see power and prestige—we see humility, approachability, and courage. Isn’t that the kind of leader we all want to follow?

Great leadership starts with character worth following.
