As a member of the Catalyst Blog Team and INJOY Stewardship Solutions, I will be bringing you live updates from the much anticipated Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, GA.  The theme for this year’s conference is Change Is Coming.
Today’s final session was conducted by Robert Madu, Teaching Pastor of Trinity Church in Manhattan.  The following are 17 Leadership Quotes and Lessons from this amazing session from Hebrews 12:

6. Comparison will consistently cloud the clarity of Gods call on your life.
7. We need leaders who don’t approach what they do as career but a calling.
8. A career is what you get paid to do. A calling is what you were made to do.
