What to do when we face opposition

The Global Leadership Summit is a great leadership tool where a number of top leaders, both church and industry gather to help the church's leaders become better at serving Jesus and leading the people under their care.

At this years summit there was some controversy when Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks withdrew from the conference because of an on-line petition. The gist of the petition was calling for a boycott of Starbucks because WillowCreek the church who hosts the leadership summit is 'anti-gay'.

Of course like any bible believing church, they are pro-everyone, anti-sin and all for Jesus transforming grace. Like WillowCreek we must stand for truth but minister with grace to those who have been blinded by the lies of the evil one. Have a look at the video below to see how Bill Hybels the senior pastor of WillowCreek told the conference. It was a gracious, gentle and yet powerful speech - well done Bill!
