The following are 14 Leadership Quotes from their challenging and convicting sessions:

Dr. Henry Cloud

1. When you say leaders are control freaks, that’s exactly right… God made you that way.
2. God is omnipotent. He has control of the whole thing.  We are created in His image.  We are potent without the omni.
3. You were designed to be in control of yourself. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit… Not in control of everything but just one thing – yourself.
4. In a pandemic, things outside of your control affect your ability to do what you do.
5. You will begin to interpret the crisis Personally, Pervasive, and Permeate.
6. What can I do? What am I able to do during this time?
7. We have many people who are running away from the church who should be running to the church.

Nona Jones – Head of Faith-Based Partnerships at Facebook

1. History will always be taught by the victor.
2. Let’s not let this conversation (about race) be pulled into the political twilight zone.
3. This is an issue of humanity, of God’s image bearers.
4. It’s about justice and letting everyone know God loves you and we love you too.
5. Once we got on the same church as a body we will dismantle racism in this country. This was is in the spiritual realm.
6. We are all entitled to our own opinion but not our own set of facts.
7. Pride says, “I don’t understand so your wrong.” Humility says, “I don’t understand so will you help me?”
