Live Blog: 75 Leadership Quotes From Johnny Hunt Men’s Conference Opening Session

This weekend I will be live blogging from Johnny Hunt’s Men’s Conference.  This has become a must-attend event for me personally as it offers me two days to recharge my leadership batteries coming out of the holiday season.

With over 6,000 men live in attendance and 26 churches viewing in simulcasts around the world, this year’s theme was Battle Ready.  A war is waging, a daily battle for our hearts, our minds and our souls.  Before you swore allegiance to Jesus, the enemy had nothing against you. Now a servant of the King, you are the primary target of an enemy bent on the destruction of you and your family.
