An Honorable Ambition: Reshaping Ambition from Self to God
Friday, September 27
12:30 – 2:30 pm

The desire to be a leader is noble according to 1 Timothy 3. We need more “voices” in this critical hour who are willing to speak to the issues of the moment and into people’s lives in a way that points them towards Christ. Ambition can either be our greatest friend or an enemy that compromises our leadership. Come learn how to recognize what motivates you in your calling from God and know when He is inviting you to reshape what guides your leadership journey. Since motives often drive methods, our ambition needs constant attention and care to stay true to the God-ordained assignments in our lives. Let’s learn together how we can stay more consumed with Jesus than anything else on our way to where we are going in the days to come!
