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.
