Great weekend away with SWYM on Guernsey! Brilliant to connect with so many youth and children’s leaders on the island at a training day plus speaking at 2 churches and Orbital youth event last night with 69 young people from across the churches with a great response #liveformore

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. 🔥

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

It may feel like an oxymoron to put the words 'fierce' and 'humility' together, but Paul Friend's choice of title is a deliberate attempt to reframe the way we view leadership. Friend's inspiration...

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

“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!
