What if the secret to becoming a great leader isn't about climbing the ladder, but about understanding what it means to be a follower? In this powerful Lead Talk, Jeff Dixon challenges the conventional wisdom that leadership is about titles and being in charge. He argues that true influence comes not from a position, but from becoming someone worth following.
Discover why leaders with impressive titles often fail to make an impact, and how embracing the role of a learner and a follower can transform you into the kind of leader who changes lives, inspires teams, and maybe even changes the world.

Learn a simple, honest prayer that can deliver you from the grip of fear and the biblical promises from Isaiah and Psalms that anchor our trust in God.

Believe it or not, Barophobia—the fear of gravity—is real. But what if this rare condition is the key to understanding one of the biggest misconceptions about God?

Watch to see how fear causes us to misunderstand the beautiful, steadying gravity of His grace.
