August 10, 2012
(live blogging) Bridging the generation gap. I would not be here today had it not been for the people that went before me. I felt called to give my life, but nobody was calling. I want to talk to the older generation, and then talk to the younger generation. OLDER. Now, some of you may […]

The second is the economic crisis that changes your concept of economic security. The third great shock, the Arab Spring. Authoritarianism is not stable, and can never […]
Global Leadership Summit | Bill Hybels – The Privilege of Leadership
August 9, 2012
