Women in Christian Leadership: Leading Courageously in a Divided World

Courageous leadership means confronting and defying the expected norms for age, ethnicity/race, and women. Sarah will be sharing key biblical principles, skills, and formative lessons in leadership that helped her embrace the invitation to lead and train people across those boundaries and expectations. As someone who has trained people from various denominations and who has served in national leadership in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Sarah has a wealth of experience that will both challenge and encourage those listening to explore what it means to lead courageously.
