Lead Like It Matters to God Richard Stearns

"I think people think about courage as a lack of fear. And I don't think it's not having any fear. I think courage is acting despite your fear to take a step in the right direction to do the right thing. And a lot of times, I think when it comes to leadership, you need to have the courage to do the right thing and to do the unpopular thing."
Jenny Yang, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at World Relief and the Co-Chair of the Refugee Council USA Advocacy Committee. In this episode, Jenny discusses the courage it takes to combat societal issues such as racism, the courage needed to make tough and unpopular decisions, and the courage to enrich and encourage those with whom you work. Join Rich Stearns as they discuss how to lead courageously in a world which increasingly needs courage.

"The paradox of prosperity is that the more you have, the more confusing life becomes because you have more choices. One of the principles is that giving is the only way you can break the power of money. This is why the Matthew 6 passage is so critical: 'Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'"
Entrepreneur and author Ron Blue joins Rich Stearns today to talk about the various ways money impacts our lives. Listen in as they talk about the importance of humility, generosity, and knowing where your money is going.
