The Leader Refueled
If the leader burns out, what happens to the ministry? If the leader does not model a growing Christian woman, how will the women in our churches know what a godly woman looks like? Our number one need is to grow in our walk with Christ as a leader and find ways of being refueled continually for the work God has called us to.

In this session we’ll talk about how we as leaders can help counter the cultural trend by making beauties out of beasts.
