We had such a beautiful morning encountering God's Spirit together as we were deeply challenged by @paulatswym to be pursuers of fierce humility - leaders who humble ourselves before God and before others. 🔥

Calling all youth group and church leaders! We have an amazing time every year at Spree and we think you should come along. Why? Listen to a group leader explaining why they love Spree and why you should come and try it out for yourself! Check out our website to book in today.

Did you know that you can get 5 copies of Fierce Humility for the price of 4? This is a great deal for those pursuing humility in their teams as each chapter has questions for reflection. If you are part of a team, head to our website to find out more? https://t.co/KtO8wrRJSL

We asked Matt to talk to us about his time with SWYM and the impact that it's had on his faith and ministry. If this sounds like a gap year you would be interested in, check out our website for more information or visit an Open Day at Lee Abbey! https://t.co/fkrLOB8XEH

Encouraged to hear people working through the book together and the questions for discussion at the end of each chapter seem to be aiding helpful discussion. Nothing quite says 'Passive aggressive gift' than Fierce Humility to your team leader! BUY NOW - https://t.co/bJmHt1SI0L

“To lead is to give your time, your energy and your resources serving others and forgetting about yourself.” How we need this kind of leadership to be evidenced in every sphere today. So thank you @paulatswym for writing this book, & for modelling these principles in your life!
