For the next two days I will be live blogging the Global Leadership Summit. This is a special moment as the Summit will be celebrating its 25th year of investing in leaders. As we prepare to learn from this year’s speaker lineup, I want to take a look back at last year’s best leadership quotes.
I also would like to invite you to join myself, Rick Warren, Nona Jones, Bob Goff, Carey Nieuwhof, Mark Patterson and over 100 of today’s top Christian thinkers for the upcoming Navigating A New Season First Impressions Conference. This digital event will take place from November 4th through 6th. Nothing will prepare your church or organization to be effective in 2021 more than this event.

The afternoon’s first speaker was Sadie Robertson Huff. A role model for her generation, Sadie shares messages of hope through her writing, Live Original speaking tour, social platforms and media appearances. Robertson Huff’s podcast, WHOA, That’s Good, reached more than a million unique downloads after only 15 episodes, her blog has reached more than 2 million people in over 195 countries, and her Instagram posts reach 3.3 million.
The following are 23 Leadership Quotes From Sadie Robertson Huff’s inspiration session on fear:
- We serve a God of transformation.
- Anything I can do to reach people for Jesus on a social platform I do.
- Ask people what your passionate about and if it is similar, you should partner.
- If you invest in someone’s life during highs and lows, trust can be built.
- As a leader, you only makes you more effective when you’re authentic. Especially as a young leader, you can filter anything. Things can be clipped. Things can be edited out. When you’re authentic, that’s when people will listen.
- Starting something is scary.
- If you fall in public, you’ll get up twice as fast. If you make a mistake, you’ll learn twice as fast in public.
- You have to have humility. It’s not always going to be perfect.
- Be a student. Be a student. Be a student… You do not know it all.
- Ask people questions they already know the answers to because you want to set them up for success.
- To get the most out of mentors you have to be vulnerable and authentic and be willing to listen to the answers…. Asking a lot of questions.
- A lot prayer. I can’t carry that (the weight of influence).
- Every place that fear is fear is conquered.
- If I’m not rooted in the Word and prayer, the spotlight will crush you.
- It’s not about me at the end of the day… It’s for God to get the glory. The weight is lifted because it’s carried by Jesus with you.
- The Lord did not give us a spirit of mind but a sound mind. You can conquer fear when you invite God in.
- As a leader, God is going to be with you in the midst of fear. Lean into it.
- If you’re a leader, you’re going to get criticism. If you’re holding the football, you’re going to get tackled.
- Christian (her husband) and I both have the same mission which is to go and preach the Gospel.
- This is a controversial Gospel but at the same time it is truth and love.
- What God’s done in my life He can do in your life.
- Don’t let insecurity neglect the gift that He has given you.
- God has not just put something in you but He has gone before you. You must trust the process.
