Throughout the year we have been talking about what it means to be a Just Leader. Micah 6:8 tells us what is required of us — to act justly; love mercy; and walk humbly with our God. We are excited to reconnect with you and continue these conversations. Wine & appetizers will be provided. Donations are appreciated!

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, October 12th as we welcome Amanda Dukes, WESH 2 New Reporter and Anchor. A number of research studies have concluded that humility is a common trait in effective leaders.    Micah 6:8 tells us to serve God, we must walk humbly.  James 4:10 says when we humble ourselves, God will honor us. But our current culture downplays the virtue of humility associating it with weakness.  So the questions to be answered are; why is humility important, what does it look and sound like in our lives, and how can it be pursued.? In her 33 years as a journalist Amanda has been given a front row seat to observe the power of humility in people from all walks of life.  She’ll share from both her personal experiences and her study of Andrew Murray’s classic book “Humility, The Journey Toward Holiness”.   One of her most surprising discoveries is the secret to receiving the gift of humility is to let your heart be undone by God’s lavish and personal grace. Amanda joined WESH 2 News in August 1997. Her most memorable experiences at WESH 2 News include covering the wildfires of 1998, spending a month on the road in West Palm Beach and […]
